Why does this matter? Because states have different ages to buy a pistol vs a long run
Two key components that help define what a rifle is, the barrel and the stock, have been altered by firearm manufacturers to circumvent existing gun laws
Easier to hide but use the same ammunition and magazines as their AR-15-style rifle counterparts. That ammunition travels much faster and with more energy compared with common pistol rounds like the 9mm and are known to create more serious wounds
WHY DO YOU NEED THIS?
National Firearms Act regs rifles w barrels shorter than 16" more because their potential concealment is a danger
Buying a short-barrel rifle requires a lengthy background check. But AR-15-style pistols aren’t defined as short-barrel rifles
It’s treated just like a Glock👿
The ATF in December sought to examine how braces, like the kind used with the Ruger, affect the classification of a firearm. The agency abandoned its proposal days later after a public outcry from gun advocates.

But he couldn’t delete his coworkers’ memories of the time he showed up at work LARPing as a Nazi. Ditto for his habit of asking all new hires if they were Jewish.
33 of his coworkers told the FBI under oath that he was a virulently anti-semitic white supremacist who promised to leave his job “in a blaze of glory.” And while it’s not illegal to be a bigot, it probably won’t help bolster the claim that fomenting a race war and overthrowing
the federal government was the farthest thing from Hale-Cusinelli’s mind as he directed a stream of protestors around the Capitol.

Again AZ: Eliminating mail return altogether for absentee
What about the military? What if you work overseas? what exactly do they think absentee voting is for?
A bill passed in the Georgia state Senate this week, for instance, would prevent 5 million of Georgia’s 7.7 million registered voters who can currently cast absentee ballots from doing so, even by the GOP’s own math.
Chao’s father isn’t just some random guy, and his awards aren’t the sort you get from the local Kiwanis club. He founded Foremost Group that ships goods globally and maintains significant relationships with both Chinese gov officials and biz elites
No, Chao doesn’t work for the business, but her fortune — estimated net worth $20 million — comes from family gifts.
In 2018, Politico flagged Chao for sitting in on interviews between her father and the Chinese press, including one that looked to many like it took place at the Transportation Department headquarters in Washington.
a website leak from the American Patriots Three Percent shows the anti-government militia group have recruited a network across the United States that includes current and former military members, police and border patrol agents.

But the leak also demonstrates how the radical group has recruited from a broad swath of Americans, not just military and LE. Members include both men and women, of ages ranging from 20s to 70s, doing jobs from medical physics to dental hygiene and living in all parts of the US
Experts say the revelations of the broad scope of the movement’s membership shows the mainstreaming of the radical politics of militia and so-called “Patriot Movement” groups during the Trump era and beyond.
Way back in 2014 this kind of thing used to be a huge problem. A London retailer was forced to apologize and recall a jacket that “inadvertently” displayed the Nazi odal.
However, CPAC specifically chose the very distinct Nazi odal as their platform, which cannot be confused with any other time or affiliation other than Hitler. CPAC went out of their way to use the exact symbol banned in Germany
McConnell’s security detail rushed past and into the chamber. The adviser began walking toward the Rotunda and came face to face with a U.S. Capitol Police officer sprinting in the opposite direction. The two made eye contact and the officer forced out a single word: “Run!”

The screaming and shouting soon seemed right outside. Only then, a text alert from Capitol police blared on every phone in the room: “Due to security threat inside: immediately, move inside your office, take emergency equipment, lock the doors, take shelter.”
