My mother raised me alone barely scraping by. I was a free lunch kid. If it wasn’t for social security payments from my dead father we would have been homeless. So how about you go fuck yourself. Cause I don’t wanna hear “wah it’s so hard being millennial” from some dickhead who almost certainly came from more privilege than me.

I don’t like this sentence.

They didn’t know they were selling to a minor. He used his mother’s phone. It’s right there in the headline.

I’m a solidly middle class and have 10x that. My mother, who is lower middle class, has more than me. It’s not a question of economy, it’s about being responsible and old enough to build up a favorable history.

This is why. You bought a laser printer. People balk at the upfront price but they last way longer and the price per page is a lot cheaper, not to mention better print quality

Makes sense to me. The cheaper Camry with a 4 cylinder gets better mileage than the more expensive 6 cylinder.

Is he that Jesus Christ looking guy who’s really snarky about other YouTubers?

This will delay Hurd by another 40 years

It’s an ad. Ads were slop long before AI.

Maybe it’s always been melting pot, but it threw Japanese Americans into concentration camps during our grandparents lifetimes. This shit is a time honored American tradition too.

Because it’s the term used in the article we’re discussing. It’s not vague, assault rifle has a pretty solid definition. It’s essentially a select fire rifle that uses rounds smaller than machine guns but larger than pistols.

Hitler was an infantryman in WW1, though he was a messenger his regiment saw heavy combat and he won 2 iron crosses. He almost certainly killed people.

Well you’ve got one

I think you’re probably right that those are what the law is targeting, and Newsweek is simply lying in this article.

The original AR-15 made by Eugene Stoner was select fire only

Sure, but that’s not the one people are buying today. I’d bet this is another case of someone mistakenly believing that the AR stands for assault rifle.

The assault rifle/assault weapon distinction is functionally meaningless, and really only applies to the military.

I disagree. Assault rifle has one standard legal definition at the federal level. It’s functional in that it makes select fire guns effectively illegal for your average citizen. Assault weapon can apply to nearly anything because has been defined by a multitude of varying laws in different states and municipalities mostly targeting aesthetic features.

Oh, you’ll get fudds that will claim otherwise

…like the ATF

Yeah, oof. They’re probably just confused by “assault rifle/assault weapon” and bought an AR-15 or something (in which case, imo this new gun owner is obligated to spend some time learning more about guns). But even if that’s true, saying “I just bought an assault rifle last week” is going to get some attention from whichever agencies in DC are monitoring Lemmy lol

The person you’re replying to means that the pipe had 125 years of mineral deposits coating the inner diameter and separating the water from the lead

It’s still good that they replaced it but I’d be shocked if drinking that water impacted you in any perceptible way

No you didn’t.

Assault rifles are full auto or burst fire. They’re not legal for civilians without a specific form of FFL, which is difficult and expensive to get. Even with an FFL you will probably run into problems with state and local laws. That’s why you’ll pretty much only see assault rifles at places like the ones outside Vegas where they let you pay to fire one for a few minutes.
