  • The US statutes limiting suppressors are just plain stupid. FWIW, in many places in Europe, suppressors are MANDATORY. Yet these devices which reduce obnoxious and potentially dangerous noise are taxed and regulated heavily in the US for some reason. I can only think that the legislators who wrote these statutes are stupid and probably based their laws against suppressors on their hilariously inaccurate depiction in spy movies. Almost all suppressors reduce really really really fucking loud shooting to really loud shooting. They serve to eliminate some noise pollution. What’s not to like?






  • Here’s the deal, if we want law and order, it must apply to everyone. It does not, and there really isn’t mechanism right now to change that. The issue with the healtcare exec’s killing is that healthcare execs etc. and oligarchs that make decisions that kill people have to be held to account for their crimes, and that’s not happening. Their egregious denials of life-preserving coverage should be a crime if it isn’t already. The Oligarchs/healthcare insurers have rigged the system such that it does not bind them nor hold them responsible for their behaviors that kill people. This is where the lawlessness issue in our system began, not with Luigi’s vigilante act. Luigi committed murder, the health care execs and oligarchs also murder people with their decisions. Only Luigi’s actions are getting legally punished. As long as such unequal treatment in the law exists, it will inevitably end in vigilantism.
