Does the MP5 famously have it?
Automatic fire is kind of not even used much anymore by anyone except people who want to turn cash into noise very quickly.

Shortsighted as always, brainless and only emotionally charged. I love this board. Cheer for possible corruption of a party you prefer and moral grandstand on another day. What's next, freeing rapists like them is a good thing because Republicans did it? Stepping on constitutional rights like they do is okay when Republicans do it? Encouraging dirty fights in politik will only make everything else as dirty, and its already a sewer when it comes to worthless and subhuman candidates.

Army releases report about Trump campaign incident at Arlington National Cemetery

The Army has released the police report from an August altercation at Arlington National Cemetery involving two campaign staffers for former President Donald Trump and a cemetery employee.
The report, which is almost fully redacted, was made public Friday after a lawsuit filed by the government watchdog American Oversight.
The incident, first reported by NPR, occurred in August, after Trump participated in a wreath laying ceremony on the third anniversary of the deadly bombing at Abbey Gate in Afghanistan that killed 13 U.S. service members. Trump then visited Section 60, where U.S. casualties from Iraq and Afghanistan are buried, at the invitation of some family members and friends of the fallen soldiers.
NPR previously identified two staffers involved in the incident as deputy campaign manager Justin Caporale and Michel Picard, a member of Trump’s advance team, according to a source with knowledge of the incident.
Arlington National Cemetery rules communicated to the campaign in advance of the visit prohibit photography or videography other than that from an official Arlington photographer.
When a cemetery employee tried to enforce the rules, she was verbally abused by the two Trump campaign operatives, according to a source with knowledge of the incident. Picard then pushed her out of the way, according to two Pentagon officials.
The report released Friday is dated August 29th. It is heavily redacted, with names removed and it does not say whether the Trump staffers were interviewed by police.
The report includes words that appear to describe what took place, reading in part, "with both of [redacted] hands while attempting to move past." It also notes that the staffer did not press charges.
After NPR reported the altercation, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said they were “prepared to release footage” of the incident, and attacked the Arlington employee as someone “clearly suffering from a mental health episode.”
No video footage related to the altercation has been released, but Trump’s campaign later posted video from Section 60 on social media, and Trump himself insisted the incident was a "made up story."

So basically they massively overhyped the supposed "incident" and the employee who tried to enforce those "rules" was apparently a brainrotted TDS type?

So 2 to 1 votes for Republicans over Democrats in Florida so far, out of 1.5 million major party votes. That's incredible.
Florida used to be a swing state until maybe 2 elections ago, and now it's posting Alabama numbers for Republican dominance. Gov. DeSantis is awesome.

Fun fact, if you're trapped in a burning building you're going to suffocate on the smoke and pass out, painfully, before you actually get burned, most of the time. Unless you yourself is on fire or the fucking floor is lava. Arguably not as bad as being burned alive, but I'd still jump to my death before dying like that, though.
Once you breathe in enough of that smoke your lungs are fucked and you have seconds before passing out, coughing in agonizing pain.
If you're ever trapped in a burning building get to the fucking floor immediately and crawl. I've heard that damp towels over your nose/mouth can help a little, too, but I don't know for sure.
Rick Rubin has a crazy insane story about the time his house was on fire and he was crawling around trying to find an exit and almost didn't make it. Coincidentally, he tells this story on his JRE episode.

I love binary triggers, I can't believe those faggots at the ATF couldn't figure out a way to ban them while they had Chevron on their side. Personally I'm not really interested in an automatic weapon but I'd love a true burst fire weapon, so I'll just have to settle until something happens or I become stupidly rich

China is making strides because they straight up steal technology from the US. Brazil has an up-and-coming manufacturing base but who actually buys their products? Russia may have a domestic market, but the overwhelming majority of their exports are energy or precious metals.
India is the economy that I'd be most concerned about because it has the potential for becoming one of the most diverse in the non-Western world. All the shitposting about "INDIA WORLD POWER 2030" is fun to mock, but there is a kernel of truth to it. That said, it relies upon future political stability. Someone from India can come in and shit on me because it's not a subject I know a whole lot about, but my understanding is that Modi is in some trouble and a lot of people there are pissed about his strong push for Hindu nationalism.
Maybe it's short-sighted. I admit that I'm incredibly pro-American and I have never denied it.

They're not voting deep red simply because they like him. He squashed the Dem vote harvesting machine that made it swing.

LOL for Florida? That's unprecedented; even during 2020 IIRC the Dems at least tied in early voting turnout. There's no question Trump will win the state, but that difference suggests an 8-10% blowout.

This part is true, the problem is Russia is in a much stronger position than he was 4 years ago. His military actually works, being kicked out of SWIFT has not destroyed their economy--which is why BRIC is even a thing in the first place--and the Saudis have stopped the Petro-Dollar deal because they see the need of diversifying away from the US dollar. Meanwhile the US military's quality is so sus that it has to rely on Ukrainian infantry to do actual combat operations, the only move the US financial system knows is money printer, and Trump is still hampered by the US's need to have elections, meaning that deals he negotiates only last during his term.

America's answer to competition is to ban it. The Bombardier C-series was banned and Huawei was banned. What's left is fat and lazy companies that put out shit products.

You're quoting Sam Hyde lmao this site isn't for minors. He wasn't even talking about Democrats specifically but I guess that shit will go over your impressionable mind. If you were serious and trusted the legal system you'd probably rather want your party to get the Dems for corruption and charge them on all counts that can be found alongside investigating themselves to prove they can be trusted. Not stooping to the dem's level.
