  Everything continues to get worse. Congrats NRA.
context: Would it kill all these news agency to link the articles, going to guess the news and data isnt as clear cut and there are some key information is left out. >
  
  They can't risk us clicking away from their shitty sites. Web analytics and marketing is a major reason why out news is trash. >
  
  The fairness doctrine being weaponized, and then repealed, is the actual reason though >
  
  It started with Operation Mockingbird >
  
  That was the, "weaponized" part of my comment. Good look on the link >
  
  Yeah sorry, I never waste an opportunity to talk about it 😂 >
  
  Haha right on, I wasn't trying to gatekeep my own comment. It's great to provide links etc. It's pretty funny that a law designed to be bipartisan, and eventually led to this current disaster, was first bent over by Kennedy and basically finished off by Nixon and friends. >
  
  A bunch of Glock switches came from I wanna say wish. Before the govt recognized what they were and stopped it 
  :Edit a Glock switch is the illegal device used to SWITCH a standard Glock to full auto. >
  
  What are they sold as on wish or did they literally just market glock switches on their site? >
  
  They marketed them as full auto airsoft conversions, was a good year or two where you'd see airsoft Glock switches on Wish that just so happened to look like real ones pop up as related on anything gun adjacent. >
  
  Right next to the "car solvent traps with baffle assembly" that was clearly a firearm supressor.
  Nice try ATF. >
  
  I still don't get why suppressors are banned, its not like the movies.  It just takes a ear popping noise to a slightly less ear popping noise >
  
  Logic has no part in this. Neither side of the gun debate wants to give up ground, whether a particular regulation makes sense or not.
  If our government was composed of functional adults who care about the country and its citizens, maybe they could compromise - suppressors and SBRs become legal without a tax stamp, in exchange for a few of the common sense gun laws the left has been asking for. But we don’t have that kind of system. >
  
  Love to see a rational approach to the issue. >
  
  "The most expansive federal report in over two decades on guns and crime shows a shrinking turnaround between the time a gun was purchased and when it was recovered from a crime scene, indicating firearms bought legally are more quickly being used in crimes around the country.
  It also documents a spike in the use of conversion devices that make a semiautomatic gun fire like a machine gun, along with the growing seizure of so-called ghost guns, privately made firearms that are hard to trace."
