Agreed!

Yes, we Americans have guns, many guns! Other countries have dictators or politicians very close to them.

Agreed!.... I wonder what COVID would have looked like in Australia pre 1996?

I really wish my British friends had 400 million privately held firearms about now. The irrational overreach cannot be checked by the helpless citizenry.

And on that note, the reason we have so many privately owned firearms and the 2nd amendment is because of their tyranny, pre-1776.

It's sadly ironic that they were once the great colonizer of the world are now finding themselves colonized.

DOGE lawmaker demanding the IRS sell off its massive stockpile of weapons & ammo

 

[mdwest]

Washington Post:

A leaked document indicate that Trump will cut all finance to NATO and the UN and half the budget of DOS..?

Signed by Douglas Pitkin and Pete Marocco..

Half of DOS would be nearly impossible. Much of what DOS does intertwines money and personnel from other agencies… DOJ, DHS, DOD, CIA, NSA, and many others are deeply invested in a variety of DOS things, both foreign and domestic..

I also doubt a US - NATO relationship will end…

Although I’d love to see the US defund about 90% of what it does with the bretton woods agencies (UN, IMF, World Bank)…

Complete waste of time and money for the US.. and without US funding all three of those agencies would lose almost all of their global influence (which is largely opposed to US culture and values)..

DOGE lawmaker demanding the IRS sell off its massive stockpile of weapons & ammo

The IRS armory and ammo stocks are actually pretty small.

They own a total of 4200 firearms… and most of those are issued to police officers that secure their facilities and campuses. And about 6m rounds of ammo for all of their various weapons systems…

Comparatively the FBI owns more than 60,000 firearms.. and one unit in the FBI, the HRT will shoot a little more than 2M rounds this year alone…

The better question is… why does the IRS employ 3100 law enforcement officers? And are they needed? Or could they be absorbed into another agency? Does it really need its own police agency and criminal investigations unit? Or is that something the FBI or USMS could do and we could kill off all of the administrative costs associated with yet another federal government entity managing its own police capability?

Something I read on Truth Social by a legitimate source, but I don't know the validity of it.

In 2019, Trumps Feds seized a massive electrical transformer that was built by China. This transformer allegedly has a built in back door switch that can be remotely operated.
Trump signed an EO banning these transformers from China.
Joe Biden rescinded that EO on his first day in office.
There are now 492 of these transformers in use within the USA. Quite possibly putting large sections of electrical grids in jeopardy.

I heard approx 4500 firearms, including some automatic weapons, and 10 million rounds of ammo and growing
Not an insignificant amount for a tax collection agency

I don't think Britain will be able to recover and is now circling the drain with finality. Why so pessimistic? It is one thing to have corrupt, idiotic polticians, everyone has those. It's a very different thing to have law enforcement that will act on those laws.

That's why the USA has hope and the UK does not. Our law enforcement at the State and Local level would largely ignore stupid laws or unfruitful accusations.

Sure there are occasional travesties, but this is generally an American truth. I trust my cops a lot more than I trust my bureaucrats. My English cousins cannot say that any longer which is a travesty.

I don’t disagree. I am in the UK frequently and it just seems to get worse every time. I was told I had to leave a hotel because it had been let out to asylum seekers in the middle of my stay. They moved a couple hundred middle eastern men into a hotel with 70ish rooms. A few months ago one of the men raped and murdered a local woman at the adjacent train station. Who could have seen that coming!

On the upside, all of the nonsense has created a real buying opportunity on very fine British guns. I am in the process of importing an absolutely fantastic Westley Richards droplock. Prices are a fraction of what they were a few years ago, and done properly, import costs are ridiculously cheap. I actually helped a friend bring in a shipment of ten fine guns for his shop.

This sounds a bit dubious. The last thing you’d want to do is to introduce any sort of arc inside an oil filled transformer, that’s why online tap changers are make before break contacts. China could do something like this much easier with electronics for protection and controls as opposed to this transformer plan.

Your experience with the hotel has been the norm for youth hostels all over Europe; they charge the government 2x the daily rate per person and pack 3-4x the amount of people into the structure and have been granted exemption from fire codes.

Same as the hotels in NYC making money hand over fist supporting illegal immigration.

Intentionally lying like schiff.

That reminds me.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the House and Senate passed legislation that congressmen and senators fall under the same laws as the public and are not allowed to lie in committee when the witness is under oath.
Of course, neither the left or right want that.

Sounds good, but aren't there cases, sorta Reverse Schiffs, where they have to lie because they are privy to all kinds of info the public is not? Schity was famous for lying about what he wanted to weaponize since if he told the truth, he would violate secrecy laws and people fell for it. But there are cases where they need to lie.

This is just like the wild horse racket….

Wealthy land owners being paid hundreds of millions of tax dollars to house feral animals that should have been shot.

It’s all in having the federal contracts for this bullshit, you have to be CONNECTED and have a good lawyer.

There is one federal judge in Oklahoma who’s ranch receives $600K+ per year to store horses that should be shot
