I have a buddy who accidentally tried to fly with a gun in his bag out of DFW.

He has his concealed carry permit, and this was in Texas, so he had to pay a fairly substantial fine, but that was it (yes, he’s a white guy). Still made his flight in time.

Same friend had TSA pre check and Clear. TSA precheck, to their credit, stripped him of the privilege. Clear is still fine with this, though.

Fair enough re: hunting.

You really ran out of steam after defense from predators though.

Guns are basically dangerous tools

Tools for what job, again?

The problem with the “guns are tools” categorization is that the only job they’re for is killing ~~people~~, or threatening to do so. Unless you’re talking shooting at the range, in which case that’s really more of a toy than a tool.

The reasons those protests don’t happen for tools is because they generally serve some other primary function which is useful, and that they’re not nearly as likely to be used accidentally.

It’s not a great track record, for sure.

tldr: biden is a 2-faced politician

Sadly this bit is just redundant.

That said, when going with “what’s popular” happens to align with what’s right, that’s gotta be worth something.

I’m a 90s kid, so I grew up calling my friends all sorts of homophonic slurs. I’ve told some racist jokes in my day, thinking I was edgy.

None of this affected public policy, but I’ll say for sure my views have changed a lot over the last few decades.

Can we say for sure that bidens not just a “fair weather ally?” No I suppose not, but a fair weather ally is still an ally.

problem is biden did SO MUCH fucked up things to so many lgbt that he could keep keep trying to overcompensate for the rest of his life and still not even budge the karma scale.

What did he do?

Americans learn everything about the middle-eastern conflict from Sept. 11th, 2001 and on.

Do they actually get anything about the “and on” bit in high school? Feels like the kind of thing they’d have to wait til uni for.

He also jumped the line to get a liver transplant once he, presumably, decided maybe there’s a chance the diet thing wouldn’t work out.

Died shortly thereafter, wasting a perfectly good liver.
