just done a quick google, you can buy an AK47 for 500 bucks, for rip off look-a-likes 300 bucks https://discountfirearmsusa.com
lots of other semi-autos are even cheaper, but people have heard of ak47's
quite shocking how easy to get hold of, and how cheap weapons are in the USA

Great Op-Ed/Open Letter to Trump re: gun violence and legislation in The New York Post - of all newspapers! Worth the read if you have the chance. https://nypost.com/2019/08/04/the-po...t-weapons-now/ |

| | Re: A shooting just happened in ( *fill in the blank * ) | Quote: | |  | | | Half the issue is the press, if they didn't go mad publishing as much info on these idiots as possible after the event it would take the 'fame' element out of it. | | | | | I don't think so. Most young people do not read the press or watch TV news these days. On-line forums and Facebook give them all the information that they want. So they live and think in their chosen bubble, where there are no limits on what is said and shown.

Predictably, 8chan quickly found a way to get protection again. It switched to BitMitigate, an anti-DDOS owned by Epik.
“Epik is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar and web hosting company known for providing services to websites that host far-right, Neo-Nazi, and other extremist content as well as those that sell illegal drugs and counterfeit medications. It has been described by Vice as "a safehaven for the extreme right" because of its willingness to host websites that have been shut down by other web hosts.”

Most of the things on this manifesto can be found on twitch, youtube and discord servers. A prolific set of shitty edgelords that really don't know what they are talking about.
Curious to see that 1 or 2 posters here tend to post the same talking points as these alt right streamer celebs. Makes you wonder...

you used this to support your claim
the rest is left as an exercise for the reader. | | | | | You did read the first sentence of the article, right? | Quote: |  | | | Anti-Americanism (also called anti-American sentiment and Americanophobia)[1] is a sentiment that espouses a dislike of or opposition to the American government or its policies, especially in regards to its foreign policy, or to Americans in general. | | | | | |

| | Re: A shooting just happened in ( *fill in the blank * ) | Quote: | |  | | | You did read the first sentence of the article, right? | | | | | Yes, and unlike you I read further and saw that none of the polls supported your assertion as none of them asked any question regarding dislike of American people.

Of course there’s no polls saying “do you dislike American people”, it would be the same as having a poll saying “do you dislike Black people” or “do you dislike Indian people”. “Do you have a favorable or unfavorable view of the U.S.?” Is as close as you’re going to get.

Don't know how relevant these types of polls are.

<shrugs> You posted a link to support your allegation, it didn't, I said so, whatever you do with that is up to you.
