  • Where I live, gun laws are fairly restrictive, and to get a license a civilian has to pass an FBI background check, complete a live-fire training course, and submit an application (with multiple character references) and go through an interview process with the local police to explain why you need a firearm. AR15s (among others) are banned outright, and all guns are limited to a 10 round magazine. (Not to mention bans on certain rifle attachments that have little to no bearing on making the rifle more “dangerous”.)

    Meanwhile, military and law enforcement can purchase whatever they want, banned or not (i.e. AR15s, 30 round mags, banned handguns and rifles). This is regardless of whether they are using it for personal or professional reasons. (Let’s be honest, these guys aren’t buying their own rifles to go on patrol.) If you go online to look at what a local gun shop has in stock, they will have certain firearms listed at “LE only”. These Law Enforcement only firearms are usually sold at much lower prices (~50%) than they normally would be as well.

    Given this scenario, do you feel that this is reasonable?












  • I hit a minke whale in my pickup while driving home one night, just north of Belle Fourche, South Dakota. Son of a bitch breached over a guardrail and flopped down right in front of me before I’d even had a chance to hit the brakes. Hit him square in the blow hole and mangled the whole front end of the truck. The fishy bastard just dusted himself off and fucked off into the night, making them wierd ass whale noises at me the whole time. Ever since that night, I take the long way home.
