If the Democrats ran Flint responsibly, they wouldn’t have to have had an emergency manager appointed by the governor, and their destiny would have been in their own hands.

Africa to build thousands of coal fired power plants

Thank you for the tip, will do in the future. Didn’t there used to be a “ delete post” option? -
If the Democrats running the city could have managed their own affairs this never would have happened.

Or just freedom in general

Sweden is a small, culturally homogeneous country. It is nothing like the US. Even your video eluded to trouble on the horizon with regard to immigration and globalization. In the US folks are voting with their feet and high tax states like New York, New Jersey, Illinois and Connecticut are loosing population. Even California is loosing its native born population.

It seems to me the very act of “checking” them is what creates more of them. Ruby Ridge and Waco for example.

Thank you, it looked like my original did not upload so I reposted. -
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-55620848 Researchers found that around 2,500 power plants are planned, enough to double electricity production by 2030.” ”Until now, there has been a widely shared view that African countries would "leapfrog" directly to renewable energy sources, and away from old world coal, oil and gas. This has already happened with communications, where countries have invested in cellular technology and over 90% of people across the continent have access to a mobile service. But the new research indicates that this same sort of leap isn't likely to happen with green electricity over the next decade. By 2030, the study suggests that coal, oil and gas will continue to dominate the generation of electricity across 54 African countries, with just 9.6% coming from renewable sources” Looks like somebody forgot to tell Africa about global warming

The Left are buying guns to protect themselves against marauding bands of neo-Nazis, (because they are just everywhere!) the Right are buying guns (particularly ARs) because Biden said he is going to take them, and folks in the middle are responding to the “defund the police” movement and the burning of cities last summer.

That trend has obviously been reversed with five million new gun owners. https://cheddar.com/media/gun-sales-2020-up-first-time-owners “The firearm manufacturer's most popular rifle, an AR-15 -style weapon called the DS-15 Typhoon, has a six-month waitlist.” “Many of these weapons are going to people who never owned a gun. NSSF estimated in August that five million Americans bought firearms for the first time in 2020. The group noted firearm sales usually go up during an election year, but President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris' stance on gun control may have increased sales,” The NRA is not the variable.
-
That is my point! Biden panders to the left while alarming the right. End result? Millions of new gun owners, millions of more guns and billions of rounds of ammunition sold that would not have been sold otherwise. If you can’t see the irony in that, I can’t help you.
-
And while this is going on, firearms and ammunition manufacturers are working around the clock to try and meet the demand of millions more gun orders and years worth of ammunition back orders. Can he (Kamala Harris) ban the sale and production of something that has already been purchased (yet not been delivered) legally? Any constitutional scholars around here? It’s really a moot point because Tester and Manchin aren’t going to play ball, and even if they did the SC would not allow for the abridgment of our constitutional rights.

I didn’t know Fibonacci made a 358, I do have the 377 in the forty watt range.

With these guys on the ramparts, you have nothing to worry about.

Biden didn’t take any guns, but he is partially responsible for millions and millions of more guns. That is what makes it so funny. He aspires to reduce the number of guns but all he accomplishes is adding millions more.

“Typically, Cargill’s customers are mostly conservative, he said, and the people enrolled in his license to carry classes are a mix of Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians. But lately, he said, the majority of the students are coming from the left side of the political spectrum.” https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/10/25/first-time-gun-sales-not-voting-for-trump-430310 Apparently the lefties are no less gullible.

If California’s 10 round limit saved lives, we should see an increase in the number of people being killed with MSRs after it was deemed unconstitutional. Likewise we should have seen a reduction in deaths from MSRs, after California banned pistol grips. I will concede that California’s ban on .50 BMG has reduced the deaths from that caliber to zero, but then again it is pretty much zero in the rest of the country.

Obviously, ARs keep Boogie Men at bay.

The Garand did not exist when the M-1903 was designed, the Henry did not exist when the Sharps was designed and Trump banned bump stocks. (Though one may still bump-fire if one has access to rubber band technology) There was a time the lowly crossbow was considered an assault weapon. “under Pope Innocent II in 1139 banned the use of crossbows against Christians. The below seems to be the agreed-upon translation:
-
Biden says the AR is no different than the weapons our military is CURRENTLY using. I say there is a difference because an AR does not have select fire capability. Biden says the AR should be banned because it was designed for the military to kill many people quickly. I just point out the M-1 Garand (semi auto) M-1903 Springfield (bolt action) Henry Repeating Rifle (lever action) Sharps Rifle (single shot breach loader) and Brown Bess Musket were all military weapons designed to kill as many people as possible. None of those are on Biden’s ban list. (Yet) Biden’s “weapons of war” argument is intellectually dishonest.
-
Yes but Biden thinks only MSRs are. Under the Biden plan the M-1 Garand (a weapon Patton famously declared “the greatest battle implement ever devised”) would be perfectly legal.
-
Not untruthful, just a matter of semantics. What Biden calls an assault rifle millions of Americans call a sporting rifle. Thirty round magazines are included when one purchases an AR, I’d say that is pretty standard. What is untruthful is referring to an AR as a weapon of war as it lacks the burst fire capability of the M-16/M-4. Biden is the liar, not me. Not only Biden causing record gun sales, he is doing the same with ammunition. ”Big-name shooting sports company Vista Outdoor Inc. reported “over a year’s worth” of backlogged ammunition orders worth more than $1 billion, an official said recently.”
-
From JoeBiden.com * Ban the manufacture and sale of modern sporting rifles and standard capacity magazines. * Buy back the modern sporting rifles and standard capacity magazines already in our communities. Biden will also institute a program to buy back firearms currently on our streets. This will give individuals who now possess modern sporting rifles or standard capacity magazines two options: sell the weapons to the government, or register them under the National Firearms Act.
