Coming back to the white flight question for a second, it’s going to depend a lot on the city. Some are not nearly as spread out or segregated well, and in those cities, you will see affluent people leaving. Shit, even Ken and Karen are in a gated community, but still within St. Louis city limits, and we see how well that ”protection” and “segregation“ worked for them.
Let’s just say there is a reason I was looking at suburbs with a median income of over $65k and 90%+ white, and I’ve talked to several people in the past month who are either preparing to leave or cheering others on who are leaving my city.
The allowance of BLM to block highways since 2015 and authorities not bodyslamming that shit immediately is one of the worst strategic failures in combating this commie uprising.

black female god? I thought their theology moved to non-binary god, I expect "God is trans" signs soon.
and CO protesters are saying "If people are pissed off we are blocking traffic its their fault for using their cars"
Illegally blocking traffic at this point needs to become a felony.

The French, actually. The French army was the first army to field hand held weapons using chemical explosives to propel a projectile.

The Chinese did that in the 900s with the Fire lace, using gunpowder, then in the 1200s it started using a metal tube to be a forerunner to the hand cannon.
Side note: It seems like CO and Seattle protesters are begging for some one to go full killdozer on their asses.

The fire lance was the first cannon. Not the first gun. The first GUN is something a man could hold in his hand and fire at the enemy safely. I suppose it boils down to how we define things. If we want to get to brass tacks the turks/mongols had "the first" and the Italians the first in europe by adopting the same tech. The French were however the first to standardize it as the primary weapon. So eh...semantics.

Later versions of it included projectiles like a shot gun, and the hand cannon which was also devloped by the chinese was the first true handheld firearm developed and didn't move outside of china to Eurasia until the 14th century.

For as long as i've been alive it was always the case that the Chinese used gunpowder for fireworks and things like the fire lance that were only useful for demoralizing the enemy, not hurting them, and that Europeans were the first to actually make guns because of their superior metallurgy skills. But in the modern era, all traces of european exceptionalism are being wiped from the internet.
You've been reading it too much.

I tried looking more into this, but there haven't been any recent articles. Most are from early June, a short while after the initial protests broke out.
There is an opinion article from this weekend that contains information on murder rates across six US cities during the past 6-weeks.

Six Weeks, Six Cities, 600 Murders

The single most important domestic issue of our time is not the rising number of new people testing positive for COVID-19. Deaths have hit all-time lows.
The single most important domestic issue of our time is not even the continued economic hardship of a nation that was artificially shut down and sent spiraling into a faux recession. Millions of jobs have been added over the past 60 days and the skyrocketing unemployment has turned around to nearly where it was percent wise in most of the Obama early years (11.1 vs 9.9.)
Nope!
The single most important issue, affecting some of the largest swaths of populations in America, is the scandal the media ignores even as it explodes in our faces.
In only six weeks, city after city operated by entrenched Democrats have seen a massive expansion in lawlessness, violence, and murder. Stunningly, many news outlets seem gobsmacked and mystified at how or why such an explosion of lawlessness has occurred.
For the sake of brevity, let’s sample six of the nation’s largest cities, including all of the top three.
New York:
The Democratic mayor has long been understood as anti-police. His wife recently imagined the city as “Nirvana” if the NYPD were eliminated altogether.
Thus far in 2020, homicides are up 21 percent. Shootings are up by 46 percent. The Democratic mayor’s agenda included emptying the prison known as Rikers Island, bail reform letting perps walk before the paperwork is completed, and the effort to #DefundPolice that took 600 anti-crime units out of commission.
Los Angeles:
June saw disturbing trends. An increase in the month’s first week by 250 percent of homicides, and a 56 percent increase in shootings. Following the death of George Floyd in May the LAPD received a $150 million cut.
Chicago:
Year-to-date shootings have eclipsed 1,508 for 2020, putting them 350 ahead of 2019. To date homicides sit at 254, placing them ahead of 2019. Important to note that the Cook County board voted in favor of defunding police. Eleven city alderman raced to the fore to demand that not a single penny of $333 million in federal dollars not go to police, and various proposals are being considered to cut current funding by more than $30 million in current spending.
Washington, D.C.
Year-to-date homicide numbers are 13 percent higher than this time a year ago. Nevertheless, the District PD is slated to be defunded by more than $15 million.
Philadelphia:
Shootings are up 67 percent. Victims of armed violence are up 29 percent. Homicides are up 25 percent. So of course it makes sense to defund the Philadelphia PD by $19 million.
Baltimore:
As consistently one of the most dangerous cities in America with a five-year streak of more than 300 murders, last year Baltimore set a new record at 348 homicides. Yet in 2020 they outpace last year’s record and will see defunding to the effect of $22 million.
As I said there are many more that I could highlight for you.
So why did all of these cities take such violent turns? Is it because their leadership capitulated to the anger of the mobs as opposed to thinking clearly and strategically about an effective response?
Or do these Democrat-run towns literally operate with denial in good and evil?
How else can you explain that in the city of Minneapolis (where a nation watched in horror and subsequently responded to the murder of an innocent man) that within 30 days they would record 1,600 shots fired? But then respond by voting to dismantle its police operations all together?
The single most important threat to our nation at this moment are Democrats who are voting in favor of eliminating law enforcement and who are by extension responsible for the greater and greater increase in the loss of life.
They are allowing Marxists and Anarchists to create complete chaos and disorder. They also seem utterly unconcerned about any lives mattering, black or white.
They appear to be holding on to an idea that they are not impacted by the scum and villainy at play under their jurisdiction.
They even perhaps believe that this is all worth it, if it will allow them to have electoral success in the fall.
If so, they need to brace themselves for three basic truths.
It’s time they learn the truth
It’s time they be held accountable.
And...It’s time to stop them!

It really depends on what traits you define it in terms of operation and support and not just "hand held weapon that shoots projectiles from chemicals" as, hand cannons don't really look like rifles as we think of them (ike Turkish Janissaries [side note: an example of white slavery], looked more like mini cannons at first. Even Arquebus with needed support at the middle or front of the gun looks some what forign to modern rifles, it wasn't until the musket do long guns start to look more like modern rifles.

I also just noticed hes got his front BUIS flipped up with a red dot. Aside from pointless, I dont think you can co-witness a red dot without a riser (not 100% sure), so the front post is actually blocking the red dot.

No sights on the AR? Well, that's self explanatory.
A pre ban FAMAS is about 9.000 dollars and more, I highly doubt that this dude has the required paperwork for a FAMAS or the doe to buy one.
IIRC there are roughly 200 pre ban FAMAS in the US, they're scarce and expensive.
The G36 in civilian hands in the USA? There are no civilian G-36's in the USA. Could be a Tommy Bostic built T-36 tho.
