Also pump-action weapons. I'm pretty sure if semi-auto weapons disappeared tomorrow everyone would still have ARs, they'd just replace the gas tube with a push rod and convert it to pump action.

Yes. It means that the gun is only capable of firing one bullet per single action of the trigger, and automatically re-cocks itself for you after you fire.
Fully automatic means a firearm that can shoot multiple rounds per single action of the trigger -- i.e. a gun that keeps firing as long as you hold the trigger down. This is also the legal definition of what a "machine gun" is.
Also, a "sub-machine gun," in case you ever wondered, is a machine gun that shoots pistol caliber bullets rather than rifle caliber.
The Democrats have had an entire decade to offer some kind of meaningful opposition and didn't bother. Why would they start now?
The frustrating thing is that Trump didn't even get more votes this election than he did last election. There wasn't a bunch of new Trump voters that came out of the woodwork and turned the tide. He was absolutely beatable. He only won because 15 million of the people who voted for Biden last election just didn't bother this time.
It's always a grift with these people.
It's not even surprising anymore. Oh... wow... the Scooby Doo villain's mask came off again... crazy... who ever could have seen that coming... crazy...
It's just tedious.
I was so disappointed when Kamala came out strong for Medicare For All and then pretty much immediately caved and walked it back.
I have a strong suspicion that there is enormous pressure from the business world to keep the healthcare system the way it is. I'd bet almost anything that the instant healthcare is no longer tied to employment there is going to be a mass exodus of people from their jobs, and an absolute explosion of people starting their own businesses. I mean, I've had about half a dozen good scalable business ideas waiting and ready to go for years now, and the only reason I haven't pursued them is because it would probably mean giving up my health insurance. I can't possibly be alone in that.
And I bet if we got socialized health care, a lot of the problems we have right now with suppressed wages and poor working conditions would suddenly have a way of working themselves out.
I went back and replayed some of the OG Metroid games (Metroid, Super Metroid, Fusion, and Zero Mission), and I'm happy to report that they are still rad a/f.
They fucking better, because he's definitely going to.
Bezos: "Hey Donald, I stopped my Washington Post editors from endorsing Kamala for you. Didn't I do good, daddy?"
Trump: "Fuck you! Lawsuit! Fuck you!"
And also objecting to Tom Morello making a political statement as if he wasn't an honors graduate in Political Science from Harvard University.
