Sorry, the Epstein List is never going away now. It's the new JFK assassination that people will be grifting off with new salacious theories for the rest of our lives. Trump owns that now.
You greatly overestimate the attention span of the general public. It's going to go out of the public sphere in the next 3 months or so.
 
I always wondered how this worked. Like does anyone know? If I sold you a bullet today and then another tomorrow, like a single fucking round of ammo, even in a private sale, are we suppose to go through a BG check? Were people allowed to buy just a straight up truck of ammo with one BG check?

Anyway, good to see something positive happening. Now strike down Donbo'si and R politicians' favorite backdoor gun control method: red flag laws.
Are you a black market arms dealer if you give your buddy a few rounds to top off his magazine? If you look at your buddy carrying ball ammo for defense and take pity on him, providing him with at least 3 hollow point defensive rounds, have you committed a crime?

Glad this one was squashed.
 
Wasn't Trump one of the few people that came forward offering his cooperation with the police?

If Trump had testimony that something happened while they were in the same vicinity, you'd want to ask this question so you can either attack Epstein's credibility for lying about it or remove a potential argument from Epstein's defense.
Or if there is a publicly known incident where Epstein was kicked off Trump's property for getting handsy with a minor, this is how it would often be asked. Very open ended. They could ask if Trump Kicked him out of Maralago for groping a 17 year old girl on September 5th 2003, and if any of these details aren't accurate (as simply as if it was staff that told him to leave) then he can say no to that statement and it's not perjury even if 90% of it is true.

It'sa great clip to post out of context, I'm kind of curious why he's getting questioned about it in 2010 under seemingly oath because it's a year after he got a slap on the wrist from the State, and a bizarre agreement to not charge him from the feds.

If you've bought a California gun recently then you're in the system and pay $1 and they make sure you're allowed usually get ammo same day. If not then you pay $19 and come back a few days later for every purchase.

Apparently there was no restriction on amount.

The best part is if you're from out of state you can't buy ammo. Want to come to California to hunt, well fuck you unless you brought some or have a California friend who can give you some when you're out in the field.
 
Nihilism will be the death of you.

I'm not even saying that as an own or some kind of righteous moral faggotry, but as a serious warning. Being trapped in the mindset that you constantly have to be aware that "The things that people claim are good, actually fucking suck", that you can never be allowed to come off as ignorant, and that the idea of anybody publicly "Getting one over" on you is a fate worse than death, will literally destroy your perception of reality.

This shit isn't an MLM or televangelist, as ironic as it sounds, somebody being positive about [insert political belief] doesn't directly result in their life going to utter shit the second they end up being wrong.

Sometimes you need to have faith things can get better, sometimes you need to believe in something even if you don't have a Doctorate level understanding of the entire situation, and also, some times you will eat shit due to those beliefs because nothing in life is certain.

I'm not saying you should simp for Trump and the right wing, but being completely irony poisoned and never being able to believe in something or be optimistic in any way is fucked.

Reject the water from the well of irony, bath in the water from the well of hope

I would advise against buying second hand ammunition, how it works in most states is you show ur ID when you buy the ammo, same as cigarettes or beer, have to be 21 to buy handgun ammunition. As I read the case it seems that a ammunition background check has the potential to be valid for 24 hours, there are 4 different ways to buy ammo in California, all of them required a background check that cost varied but usually was $17. If you are a firearms dealer, it's just a transfer like any other FFL transfer. Red flag laws aren't going away, they barely do anything anyway, but I get your sentiment.
 
The question is loaded as fuck and would have you incriminate yourself no matter what you say. There is a reason pleading the fifth is NOT an admission of guilt, but retards will run with it like it is.
Let's say he says no, then they can show photos of him and Trump in a gala with his daughter who was under 18 at the time, Epstein committed perjury.
Let's say he says yes and clarifies it was nothing illegal. That statement will be picked apart piece by piece to find something incriminating, I have seen this first hand literally THOUSANDS of times, let me give you an example.
Prosecutor:"Were you at a party where narcotics were involvex"
Defendant:"Yes but i didnt know they were there"
Prosecutor:"Here's an image of you and people behind you were doing narcotics how did you not know they were there"
This shit happens all the time. Prosecutors and defense number 1 tool in trials is to sow doubt. Because if you doubt something one way or another it is much much easier to convince a jury.
Epstein literally pleaded the fifth to EVERY SINGLE QUESTION HE WAS ASKED
 
Wrong. Trump is the Epstein president. You will be shocked come next election.
Yeah-- I heard a rumor Trump isn't even going to run in 2028!

You say this like Trump didn't lose his first set of mid terms in a much more favorable environment and then lose reelection. Technically, history is on the side of the doomers on this one.

Republicans can pull out of this tailspin, but they'll need to pass a big piece of legislation if they want to beat the Epstein rap. Maybe if Trump actually got a ceasefire in Gaza or Ukraine that would be enough. Either way, it will need to be big.
You say this like the 2020 election was not very obviously rigged and stolen.

Yes, in the minds of those of us who pay attention enough to know it's Trump or bust right now.

Joe Normy doesn't give a shit. None of my coworkers are talking about Epstein, I think this is an online/offline disconnect.
 
have to be 21 to buy handgun ammunition.
Due to how prevalent pistol caliber rifles are you could easily buy handgun ammo under 21 by showing a printout if a hipoint carbine manual to buy 9mm or .40 S&W, and of course there's .357 magnum (which gets you .38 special as well) and .44 magnum lever actions.
