This guy was a rich aerospace engineer, yet got so radicalized by the TV, he threw away his cushy imperial core life over trump-moist vs kamala-coconut-tree

Joe Biden refuses to disclose the location of the Battle Box, causing democracy to spill out onto america's streets, yet hexbear tankies still endorse him disgost

Imagine buying a grenade launcher, and not taking it with you when you decide to shoot up a political office. If you decide to have an adventure, you better plan on not coming back, so go all out.

Edit: obligatory "in minecraft"

Imagine dying for the Democratic Party (or Republican Party).

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 5 points 12 hours ago

Imagine dying.

I shall live forever in Valhalla for doing my part in the gender war.

[-] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 19 points 22 hours ago

At least the Republicans are considerate to ensure their deaths are hilarious (thoughts to that one chucklefuck who propped up a Trump flag on a Florida pier during a hurricane just a while ago, don't think he died tho).

We did have an original battleground state, i.e. Kansas.

[-] OptimusSubprime@hexbear.net 21 points 22 hours ago

Holy shit, a frothingfash near my neck of the woods.

And I stg that wasn't me! I know not to do an adventure-time against such a low value target...

Not when I know this was supposed to be happening today: Trump was slated to speak at 2 p.m. in Mullett Arena on the Arizona State University campus in Tempe.

[-] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 12 points 22 hours ago

Mullett, lol.

I know this is America, but where the fuck you get a grenade launcher?

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 3 points 12 hours ago

Surplus? Local PD armory?

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

In Poland you need to be official, go to Ukraine and exchange gifts with local Azovites. There is good chance you will recieve military ordnance in return. Then the grenade launcher exploded possibly as prank.

At least chief of Polish police did that (yes explosion too).

A grenade launcher is an NFA item, if you pay enough money, file enough paperwork and wait long enough you can legally own one (unless the state has laws against it, which some do). I think from memory if you want to fire explosive ammunition (rather than flares or buckshot) those also need NFA paperwork and time.

I remember on r/guns some people would show off their "4-stamp" guns meaning it had a silencer, short barrel, select fire switch and grenade launcher, all 4 things aside from their costs, requiring a 250 dollar tax stamp each and months of waiting. Basically showing off how rich they were because of the tens of thousands of dollars involved.

Or you buy one on the black market that was stolen from a military base in the USA or Mexico I guess.

Man fuck all that fancy shit I just want a nice break action thing that goes foomp

It's how you know dems are full of shit when it comes to gun control. Wealthy WASPs can still get stuff like AK-47s, RPGs, Uzis, etc. as long as they have no criminal or mental health record and they have the money. Poor people, especially if they're PoC, will have trouble getting something as simple as a revolver and will be locked up if they get one illegally. That's if cops don't use it as an excuse to shoot them first.

Literal military weapons for the wealthy white people, felony charges for everyone else.

You can 3d print them now.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 26 points 23 hours ago

That could have been my body armor and grenade launcher!

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 24 points 23 hours ago

I was thinking yesterday how Trump's still got goons ready to activate and do violence if he loses.

[-] Cummunism@hexbear.net 28 points 23 hours ago

yea some nutjobs will do some shit probably, but it will be pretty isolated. Most Americans still arent at the "im ready to die" point. Even the ones who talk a big game.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 13 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, RevLeft summed it up like that. These suburban fascists like to cosplay rebels, but deep down they know they're in a cozy spot.

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 7 points 20 hours ago

And a lot of the Jan 6 chuds really, really thought they'd get away with it. They had two very strongly held beliefs:

  • If we're holding Thin Blue Line flags and screaming the word constitution, the state wouldn't touch us!
  • If we really, truly believe, in our heart of hearts, that we're covered by a legal exception to do crimes, the state can't touch us!

The test for many legal exceptions is whether a "reasonable person" would believe such-and-such. But conservatives really think that if they strongly profess a belief, that's just as good. It's why they started calling all their opponents pedophiles. The actual concept doesn't even cross their mind, to them it's just a word that means "can be murdered"

MAGAts are like soccer hooligans: they'll riot if their team loses... or if their team wins.
