There have been several mass shootings which were stopped when the shooter stopped to reload, and a bystander was able to intervene at that moment. Limiting the capacity saves lives.
Gun advocates like to mock those who want to ban military-style guns, while other hunting rifles with the same capacities are still available, but that misses the point. If both guns were the same, why are nearly all mass shootings done with military-style weapons, and are NEVER done with standard hunting rifles?
Something that is never discussed is the psychological effects of military-style weapons, in both the shooter and the victim. In general, mass shooters are people who feel weak, abused, outcast. A scary black gun makes them feel powerful in a way that a standard hunting rifle doesn't. In addition, that military-style gun is scarier to their intended victims as well. It forces them to fear the shooter, something the shooter craves.
Military-style weapons may not have any more practical characteristics than a standard hunting rifle, but it's psychological effects are much stronger.
HitlerPig's primary campaign promise was to lower prices, which were already under control. Now prices are going up significantly, and the media isn't going after him for it. I have heard him claim in multiple interviews that gas is $2 a gallon, and yet I've never heard a journalist challenge that easily disputable lie. There is not a single place in this country where gas is $2, so why aren't they demanding answers when he says this? Where is it $2?
Every interview should be demanding how he intends to bring down prices, like he promised, and when it will happen.
There is no "unity" with Nazis. They need to be purged.
He's not just trolling MAGA, he's trolling the media. Now they have to make a choice as to which event they cover. Do they cover the Pope, and his anti-MAGA message, or do they cover HitlerPig's latest empty flex?
His board of directors is glad to have him back. He has singlehandedly tanked his companies' brand image and sales with his irresponsible ego bender, and there has to be serious talk of a shareholder lawsuit in the works, especially after that last disastrous earnings report. The Board probably convinced them to hold off until the next earnings report, hoping things will improve, but it won't. Once a bubble pops, it doesn't reinflate again.
The only thing holding up the stock at this point is that it is a major holding in many institutional funds. As future earnings report remain poor, or even get worse, those institutional funds will start dumping it, and then it will fully crash. At that point, the lawsuit will go forward.
The Board is just hoping that by forcing him to get back to work, and not tolerating his nonsense any more, they may be able to avoid being named in the lawsuit as well.

Ketamine and Ecstacy are two different drugs.
I always describe MAGA as "virtuosically incompetent." It's breath-taking how stupid/ignorant they are, and yet they are so absolutely CONVINCED they are correct.
I've been saying that whenever someone brings up Hanlon's Razor. There needs to be a new one, called The MAGA Razor - always assume the reason is deliberate malice, even enthusiastic cruelty.
Most places in America, it's about $3. Where I live, it cycles between $2.90 and $3.20. it's about $3.09 today.
