The moderator’s mic was probably on too.

In practical (non legal) terms possibly if it was an actual private party and not a licensed dealer.

Alien is definitely a unique way of putting it. I guess it makes sense in that they are “alien to the nation”. But If I were to ever be forced to move to a different country I’d probably go by ex-pat.

Although I’d say we have more of a culture (increasingly so) of acknowledging immigrants as Americans first. Probably due to the whole melting pot thing. My view of it is anyone who immigrate to the US is an American. But if I moved to another country, like Japan, I don’t think they’d consider me Japanese.

Also that reminds me alien ≠ immigrant. Aliens would be people in the country either temporarily or illegally. Someone who got a green card by marrying an American wouldn’t be an alien for example. If you do the whole immigration thing you’re just an American not an alien.

Tldr it depends. Slightly longer generally no, but there’s an exception for hunters.

The author is wrong on that point.

Per the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco and Explosives:

https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/must-licensees-conduct-nics-background-check-sale-firearms-nonlicensees-gun-shows#:~:text=Must licensees conduct a NICS background check for,sale were taking place at the licensed premises.

They are federally required by the federal government to be performed by dealers even at gun shows. Or any other venue for that matter.

NICS checks are background checks, when people fill out a Form 4473 in a gun store that is for the NICS check. They are required on all sales from dealers (even at gun shows). They are not required (barring tighter state regulations) from private non-dealers.

I replied to the other guy but checks are required on all sales from a dealer. They are not required, under federal law, in sales from your average joe. But some states have tighter restrictions.

The location being a gun show has no relevance on the legal status under fed law for these transactions.

Gun shows are a massive loophole in existing background check requirements for purchasing from stores, because sales there are instead classified as private sales.

Not all sales at a gun show are private sales. Specifically those from a FFL (Federal Firearms Licenced Dealer). The federal law when first enacted specifically excluded private transfer for commerce clause reasons.

Even if you’re purchasing from a business at the show.

As mentioned above this is inaccurate. If you buy a firearm from a dealer at a gun show sans background check both you and the dealer have committed a crime.

And private sales aren’t required to run background checks.

This is true of actual private sales on the federal level. But several states have further restrictions requiring them.

How are they closely tied? I haven’t seen all of Peter’s videos but this is the first I’ve heard of the other dude.

Here’s a few on reports:

-If you think it merits a report report it.

-If you’re unsure if it breaks a rule DM a mod.

-Idealy on a report write the rule # broken. If you’re typing past three sentences it’s may have unnecessary info.

-If someone is breaking a “don’t be mean” rule, the answer isn’t for you to break it too.

Here’s a few non report ways you can help:

-Set a positive tone.

-A lot of good posts/comments probably never get heard because people think it’s too lower effort or no one is interested.

-Crosspost to related communities to help people find related communities.

We acknowledge that you may use this container for refuse. And we’ve decided to write “DRINKING WATER” on the side in big text, just in case you don’t.

That’s why they put so much in. It’s 1/3 hydrogen.

IMO that perception is just the result of the Internet being English language centric and Americans making up the majority of English speakers online. We have a disproportionate impact online. So whenever you hear about a Karen, she is probably in America because most of the time you hear about something it’s from America.

I haven’t seen data on the issue but I’d imagine the data would probably just reflect that humans are humans no matter where you are.

In my personal experience I haven’t seen this kind of behavior much, then again I don’t work retail.

As an American, is there a reason you can’t do this in your home country? Do they ban neon signs?

Agreed on point 1 the answer is we all need to create more posts. We can’t expect others to do it for us.

Good performance

In regards to #1 Poland is a NATO country an attack on them would invoke Article 5. Russia isn’t in any condition to take on all of NATO.

I think I’ve read this story before.

Glad to hear it! And yes that is me. You’re making me feel like Lemmy’s second biggest celebrity, behind the android community moderator Margot Robbie. If you enjoy the posts don’t forget to check out the Forgotten Weapons YouTube channel & website.

The community is sort of a place for fans of the show to post stuff that other fans would enjoy, but it’s got a whole bunch of members who actually have found out about Forgotten Weapons through the Lemmy community first. I’m really glad to see people who find out about Forgotten Weapons from the community. It makes me feel like I’m giving back to Ian McCollum for everything I’ve learned from his show.
