I don't think there is much of a will to calm things down, at least not amongst the unwitting footsoldiers of the exquisitely orchestrated propaganda narratives. I feel sorry for the millions of regular Americans who haven't been sucked in to their countries' current End of Days cult. They must feel as helpless as we do with the Brexit charade and the cardboard Unionist and Nationalists ripping each other to shreds while the real villians of the piece continue to hawk the family silver from beneath all of our noses. It almost looks like divide and rule is being used to divide and rule. Hopefully it wont catch on.

highlandjambo3 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 11 hours ago, Justin Z said: You're close, there is actually a permit scheme for fully automatic and other highly regulated weapons enacted by the National Firearms Act of 1934. It's very complicated. It was enacted because of gangsters having automatic weapons in the 1930s, during alcohol prohibition. The St Valentine's Day Massacre in 1929 was one of the incidents that spurred the passage of the act. I do not believe the gun the murderer was carrying was an "NFA item". Ah ok.....I didn’t dig to deep. Only in America eh.......... I wonder what clause you could add to your firearms application to “upgrade” your weapon request to full automatic?

Riddley Walker Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 It's worrying how millions of people around the world have bought into the far right propaganda that an organisation fighting against centuries of state oppression are somehow considered 'as bad' as racist militias protesting against people protesting against racism. And all because of some looting, as if that's any way comparable to the regular murder of unarmed black folk by the state. Also, the folk that are against BLM etc. seem to think they are the ones 'not indoctrinated' when in fact they are fighting for the status quo, which is pro-establishment, which is against the education and progression of the working classes, ethnic minorities etc. Likely the same folk that have been brainwashed to still suck up to the Royal Family in this country.

When I asked them later what they thought, they told me that they walked out as he was disgusting....It’s standup comedy!!!🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnrazor Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 As for the Jim Jeffries videos, Australia didn't "ban guns" they banned certain types of guns, pretty much as the UK has, I can assure people there are plenty of guns and lots of shooting goes on there. "Assault Rifle" isn't really a thing, it's a term used by the media to describe a military style rife often a semi automatic, a bit like "point blank" it's not quite accurate.

Francis Albert Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I could only watch a few minutes of the Jeffries clip. It is moronic. Simplistic. As well as full of untruths worthy of Trump. The way his audience whoops and cheers reminds me of a Trump audience. A good stand up comedian challenges his audience. Jeffries simply panders to his.
