Too conspicuous? The idea is to let them know we’re here, we’re pissed off, and we’re prepared to fight for what we demand. Why are you trying to go unnoticed in what’s supposed to be an overt display of unity?

If you have the gear to withstand their tools, you should be obvious about it. You’ll become a target and draw their fire away from those who are more vulnerable. If you’re not willing to take a hit, give your gear to someone who is, take your signal whistle, position yourself at the back of the crowd, and keep watch for flankers.

It’s a real shame the first amendment only applies to congress.

They don’t, they’ve been domesticated and trained to allow it.

Wear ANSI impact rated airsoft goggles over the pool goggles to protect from rubber bullets.

A hard hat with ANSI impact rated face shield attached is also viable and allows a respirator. Make sure to use a chin strap with the hard hat.

If a gas grenade lands near you, cover it with a traffic cone and pour water down the hole on top. Do NOT try to pick it up unless you’re wearing an oven mit or silicone grill glove. Kicking it is fine though.

P100 works on particulates only. To protect from tear gas, you’ll need carbon / charcoal, gas filters. Look for painting filters.

Some P100 filters also have gas filters. Make sure you know what you have before you rely on it.

A 50/50 mix of Maalox antacid and saline also does well

1,625 is hardly representative of a data set containing tens of millions

“Microsoft thinks it has social permission to burn the planet for profit” is all I’m hearing.

1. Remove the magazine (or cartridges)

2. Open the action and confirm no cartridge is present

The exact steps will depend on the action (pump, bolt, break, semi-auto, etc.) and the particular model of firearm, but it’s essentially the loading process performed in reverse

Thieves love those. Just by looking at it, you know there’s a gun in there. They’re light and small enough you can pick up and steal the whole thing, no problem. Then, you can smash it open when you get somewhere else with no tools required. If you spike it like a football with both hands onto concrete and concentrate the force onto one of the lid’s corners, it’ll pop right open after a few tries. Most of the hinges can also be easily attacked if you have some basic tools and need to be quiet.

So just leave it there for some kid to find?

Not worth it getting all the Korok seeds in BotW

Hey, that’s not fair. If you complete the original 150 Pokedex, you also get a little diploma you can print on your GameBoy Printer.

Here’s two:

YSK if ICE thinks you’re too brown, they’ll just say yours is fake and deport you anyway. It’s already happened to US citizens.

It sounds like you and I are in agreement, we’d like to see fewer gun deaths and less gun violence in the US. At the end of the day, I think you’ll have a hard time finding anyone who disagrees with that sentiment.

It sounds like we also agree, whatever measures are passed, we’d like them to be effective at taking guns out of the hands of those who would do harm with them.

The reason I oppose a ban is, bans disproportionately affect law-abiding gun owners, and the overwhelming majority (over 99%) of gun owners in the US abide by the law and commit no crimes with their guns. Bans overwhelmingly succeed at disarming responsible owners who had no bad intentions in the first place, and overwhelmingly fail at disarming the criminals at whom the bans are targeted.

Additionally, there are about 5-6 guns per US gun-owner. The logistics of safely locating, safely confiscating, and safely disposing of all of those guns in a way that doesn’t end up with them on the black market, is not a problem I think anyone has a good way to solve currently. I assert, the logistics of addressing societal factors that contribute to violence are much simpler, better understood, and more achievable.

European countries also do more to address the root causes of violence, poverty, drug addiction, mental health, and homelessness.

I think the differences in the way these societal factors are addressed more than explains the observed difference in levels of violence.

I believe a much more effective means of addressing violence in a country involves addressing the root causes of that violence, as opposed to banning the means of violence.

Banning the means only prevents violence when no means exist; addressing the root causes prevents violence, despite whatever means may exist.

I’m guessing police don’t fall into your definition of “regular people”. Like I said, police-involved shootings count as “mass shootings”.

If a cop shoots and hits two bad guys, that counts as a mass shooting. If a bad guy wounds a cop and his partner kills the bad guy, that counts as a mass shooting. If two people attempt to mug an old lady and she shoots them both, that’s a mass shooting.

I think most people would agree, those three scenarios aren’t what comes to mind when the phrase “mass shooting” is used, and I think most people would agree, these aren’t the scenarios we want to be putting a stop to.

Ask your doctor about Viagra.

Failing that, buy a house with thick walls, far away from neighbors, play your game only when the house is empty, try not to hurt yourself, and happy tugging.
