And how, exactly, are they going to assess if anyone is “undocumented” at 200, 300, 400 yards?

Just like the door gunner in Full Metal Jacket.

Anyone who runs is an illegal. Anyone who stands still is a well disciplined illegal.

With a color swatch strip that runs from beige to brown. Anywhere darker than tan and it’s open season.

The law change as far as I can tell allows you to shoot intruders on your property right away.

It’s kind of funny how it sneaks up on you…

I never thought I’d own a gun, but had an apartment in a bad neighborhood, lots of drugs and crime, loose pit bulls running around.

So I bought a gun:

Roll forward 20 years, my grandfather passes away, leaves his guns to my dad. My dad passes away… suddenly I’m the owner of 14 guns. O_O

I consider myself left of center, in the US at least. I’m in favor of a more careful and measured approach to gun ownership in general. That all being said, when I watched an angry mob attempt to overthrow the federal government, my liberal ass went out and bought a gun. Those lunatics proved they’d happily lynch politicians from their own party, I sleep sounder with my gun safe nearby.

I’m definitely of the mindset that I want more guns and I could easily afford them. I don’t buy them because I am likely inheriting dozens of firearms when certain family members pass. It’s still decades away (hopefully), but I don’t want to have to deal with so many multiples of similar firearms.

I would love to inherit 13 guns. I’d turn them in at the first local buy back so they could be destroyed.

Yes, my immediate thought was "Melenated people are targets more than ever in my lifetime. I’m the same age as people who still weren’t allowed in designated schools, hospitals, despite federal laws. Yes, one of those states

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam

It’s important, I think, to remember that our nation, and much of civilization chooses to put property rights over human rights. Some nations do not, many of which are the happiest on Earth according to the world happiness index.

We choose, to be vindictive, petty, murderous monsters, many of which are willing to kill over their pile of crap, and some of which are extremely eager, going by their door signs, to kill over their pile of crap.

But Freedom to roam countries tend to be societies, whereas we’re more of a burlap sack fillled with turds, Metaphorically speaking.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
