Checked their opensecrets donations, they don't donate themselves but looks like one of their employees was a Bernie bro in 2020 lol.

Virginia's banning 30 round magazines as well as a bunch of other laws coming in July, worth stocking up if you live in the state as you'll be grandfathered in.

At $9/mag this is cheaper than what gunshow booths sell used ones for in my experience.

Mods lemme know if this isn't allowed!

Tonight, on Laylatul Qadr, the admin of MES was apprehended by police on false charges.

The channel will be temporarily inactive and ownership transfered to a trusted friend during the investigation.

If you see anything strange here, it has been compromised.

On the Quran, this is true and not a joke. Please keep him in your prayers. https://t.me/Middle_East_Spectator/30128

IIRC he lives in Jordan, Does anyone have a Telegram chat that provides the same level of information? It seemed to be the best at providing updates.

With all the SNAP cuts hitting, is there an archive of the post out there somewhere?

Also, how are you all holding up?

Not looking to spend a whole lot of money, but from the looks of it you can get one for ~$700.

Is there a better option in that price range? Really only looking for 5.56 NATO since I can shoot cheaper rounds for training.

What are you all rocking?

Charlie Kirk Assassination Sparks Social Media Crackdown

Five hours after Charlie Kirk was shot this week, an Atlanta man got a phone call from an Illinois police officer asking about a photo he shared with a couple of close friends on a private Discord chat. The Atlanta man, who asked not to be identified, says the post was merely a confirmation that he had purchased the same T-shirt that the accused killer wore (from an Illinois-based online shop).

Social media companies are generally forbidden by law from divulging users’ private communications to the government without a traditional legal process (e.g., court order). But there’s an exception: in perceived emergencies, social media platforms can proactively and “voluntarily” hand over private messages in response to what’s called an “emergency disclosure request” (EDR).

Discord, I am told, did not respond to any EDR here; but when I asked them directly if they’d provided law enforcement with information to traditional legal process, they declined to respond on-record.

The FBI, or the intelligence community, evidently is monitoring Discord private messaging, even from people who have broken no law.

Full blown Orwellian world. Run for local government and stop this shit.

The largest populated areas are left leaning. If they ae controlled by democratic socialist, we can restrict this shit. Just by pure numbers.
