  • It is also a way of alluding to something without stating it in a digital paper trail. Most of the corporate climbers I've known are like this with email. They'll say something on the phone but avoid putting it in email.

  • Nope. I'm not who you replied to, but you're misunderstanding.

    When people talk about "80 percent" in this context, they mean the firearm. For an AR, it is the lower receiver. Whether it was 3D printed has no legal bearing, federally. I could carve one out of wood or styrofoam, or fashion one from modeling clay, it doesn't change the law.

    Federally, and in most states, it is legal (for anyone who is otherwise allowed to own guns) to manufacture a firearm. Period. No paperwork, no serial number, no background check. Nada. This is how the law currently works.

    The media likes to refer to these as "ghost guns" because it sounds spooky.

    In California and Connecticut, it needs a serial number permanently marked on it even as an 80% lower. 13 other States also have laws which touch on this.

    It is my understanding that Mangione employed an 80% pistol, so it was likely a Glock-compatible copycat.

  • I'm in the same place. Avoiding politics is not only for my mental health.

    In my case, for personal as well as professional reasons, I particularly need to avoid communities where advocating for political violence is tolerated (and in some even condoned.)

    I blocked all the politics-specific or adjacent communities, but most of Lemmy seems to want everything to be about politics.

    That's way too toxic for me so I have to detach from Lemmy. I deleted my main account and I'm going to come back in a few months to see if it has calmed down.
