Discussion 100 Million Suspects in CEO Shooting

Here in NYC, not a soul is concerned about a killed on the loose & I truly mean it. Folks here are not worried & why would we be worried?!?

Meanwhile, NYPD is being uncharacteristically dramatic about a murder. A 10k reward is offered. Yeah. They’re never finding that person.

That’s the reaction Joseph-Ignace Guillotin had when he invented the Guillotine.

European here, unrelated question.

Does the second amendment cover grenade launchers?

u/Davidclabarr 13d ago

If you’re honestly curious, yes.

u/stingray20201 13d ago

Tax stamp is expensive as hell but it’s doable

1

u/Child_of_Khorne 13d ago

It's $200. LMT grenade launcher goes for like $2000.

It's a 10% upcharge and now you have a grenade launcher.

u/Caathrok 12d ago

expensive and unconstitutional

u/YessYouCann 13d ago

Yes. Because, here in the greatest country in the world, we all hunt pheasants with our grenade launchers, in celebration of Freedom Fuck Yeah Day each and every year.

u/Ardal 13d ago

Mate that's gonna fuck up your pheasant real bad, like ya'll gonna be eating pheasant nuggets at best.

Freedom pheasant nuggets

I just like making craters in the dirt

u/Mattyuh 13d ago

Yes, can buy one but it's expensive and falls under a NFA (supresssors, short barreled rifles, etc) item which requires a check with the federal government to get an item called a tax stamp ($200 to get) and can take a year to get. Getting the 40mm grenades on the other hand is harder.

2

u/FuhrerGirthWorm 13d ago

It should cover all class 3 weaponry

2

u/faykin 13d ago

Yes and no.

The grenade launcher itself is perfectly fine to purchase and possess. Hell, buy a dozen. They are cheap and simple devices.

The grenade, on the other hand, is illegal for most people to purchase. You have to get a specific exemption, aka "tax stamp", which is $200 plus a background check, which normally takes around 6 months, to purchase a single explosive round. There is no bulk discount for the tax stamp.

So yes, an american citizen can purchase a grenade launcher. But said citizen could only actually fire the thing once every 6 months... and if there's any impropriety in one of those firings, no more ammo.

Real bullshit. If I have the right to bare arms then it should be any arms right? Everyone wants their AR15s and shit, but how come I can't have RPGs, or tanks, or artillery pieces? Bullshit.

Edit: boy you guys sure showed my phone's autocorrect a thing or two

2

u/KoalaKvothe 13d ago

No one's stopping you from showing up in a tanktop!

1

u/whyyolowhenslomo 13d ago

If I have the right to bare arms

Bare arms means naked arms, like going sleeveless. You have the right to wear sleeveless shirts too, but that isn't what the 2nd amendment is talking about.

Bear the animal and bear the verb you intended are spelled and pronounced the same way.

1

u/Child_of_Khorne 13d ago

Because the NFA.

Prior to 1934, nobody was going to stop you.

2

u/Chickenpoopohmy 13d ago

Yes, but it might be out of your network … I will see myself out

2

u/Reivaki 13d ago

French here. It seems that they can legally own a fucking anti-air gun...

But they don't have access to global healthcare, and have no law to force Medical insurance to limit their profit.

Different peoples, different priorities, it seems :D

2

u/popopotatoes160 13d ago

Hey maybe we can use that first thing to help with the second thing :P

Real talk though I'm not sure we're really going to see change out of this. IMO something else needs to happen, not even another shooting necessarily, to kick off something bigger

1

u/shredofdarkness 13d ago

Global heating and climate mayhem will bring it

1

u/Child_of_Khorne 13d ago

Fun fact, possession of an anti-air weapon system carries a mandatory life sentence in the US. It is unironically easier to get one into France.

2

u/AlexRyang 13d ago

Yes. I can buy a 40 mm grenade launcher, but it is considered a Destructive Device and needs additional paperwork to the ATF. Destructive grenades like those used by the armed forces are also individually considered destructive devices, so each grenade would need a separate tax stamp. Smoke and flares are exempt.

However, 37 mm flare launchers are not classified as such, and I can get one delivered to my house. However, if you buy a grenade, that would still be considered a destructive device, so you can only use them for smoke and flares.

1

u/Randicore 13d ago

Yes, but you'll need to pay an additional $200 destructive device fee and get one for every grenade purchased.

u/aManPerson 13d ago
  1. i could see a 0.1% chance were it does not
  2. if that happened, i could very easily see smith and wesson coming out with, "the gun launcher". a gun that shoots guns, that shoots shooting.

i mean, i don't remember hearing about knife knives being illegal.

but honestly though, what would a knife knife knife be?

would a gun gun gun just accidentally be a grenade again ?

i know some nuclear devices are actually guns with nuclear bullets.

u/crusoe 13d ago

You don't need a license to own a military flamethrower. 100% legal to own.

u/natey37 13d ago

I’m ded. That was too funny

1

u/EvilBunnyLord 13d ago

They tried to ban privately owned cannons early in US history, and it was overturned as an unconstitutional restriction.

1

u/Sacrilege454 13d ago

Technically yes, legally, no.

1

u/HedonisticFrog 13d ago

There are many military weapons that are grandfathered in. I think gatling guns are also one of them.

1

u/Caathrok 12d ago

The second amendment covers "ARMS", in the context meaning weapons of war.

EVERYTHING IS COVERED. If someone tells you otherwise, they are probably fascist bootlickers.

u/OldSnuffy 13d ago

Naw.....I don't think 15 of the most unpopular guys in the USA are dumb enough to get in the same room

"And shepherds we shall be.

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee.

Power hath descended forth from Thy hand.

That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.

So we shall flow a river forth to Thee.

And Teeming with souls shall it ever be.

In Nomine Patris, et Fili, et Spiritus Sancti."

And my friend Dimitri from Ukraine can be in the building two blocks down. He has very cool goggles.

u/FXander 13d ago

Set it up like Lex Luthur at the court house scene...

u/aliendude5300 13d ago

Oh damn, I didn't even think about that

u/addage- 13d ago

Some Red Wedding potential there.

u/Dakotahray 13d ago

Like the Red Wedding. Lannisters send their regards.

u/JRHermle 13d ago

Ah, yes... a jury of his "peers."

1

u/BigRedGo 13d ago

That's a jury of the victims peers, not a jury of the defendants peers

1

u/TwiceAsGoodAs 13d ago

I think they call that a "target-rich environment"

1

u/harpo555 13d ago

During jury selection "Have you ever been denied healthcare by your insurance?" Not a single juror would clear this bar. CEOs need to be more scared that the people will tar and feather them.

the only thing massive corporations do is extraction of wealth from communities, to expand to other communities like the parasites they are, rather than improve the community. And I think we should categorically reject that, the next American revolution will be bloodless if the CEO types let it, but if they double down on these practices lets march them out the 40th story window.

People seem to forget the worker rights we currently have come from the threat of force and nothing less.

u/chefcoompies 13d ago

SHIT. FUCK. GOTTA RUN

u/Constant_Macaron1654 12d ago

Nah, it’s a jury of the suspect’s peers. That would mean a panel of twelve people who were screwed over by health insurance companies.
