The largest internet forum Reddit is ridiculously left leaning and the mods actively suppress conservative opinions. (1)
HN is left leaning, but I haven't seen any moderator action against right wing opinions. 2nd amendment rights posts used to eat a dozen downvotes each though.
Agreed. Add crushing student loans, credit card debt and lack of affordable housing near the few sources of middle class work and you have yourself the ultimate depression cocktail.
Stop calling people you don't understand racists. These rednecks hate all people who refuse to fit into their culture. They'll hate white NY or CA transplants just as much as they hate Mexicans.
Unfortunately actual racism is picking up steam with these folks.
That was a response to hunting concerns. .223 is considered underpowered for deer hunting, but ar-15 can be easily modified to fire deer hunting caliber bullets.
If the SHTF .223 is probably better to barter with if nothing else
That's why intermediate 6mm cartridges exist. 6.5mm CM, grendel and better yet .300 blackout. All easy conversions to the AR platform. All you need to go from a base .223 ar to a .300blk is a barrel swap.
I've seen well reasoned pro gun arguments eat an army of down votes, while ignorant fudd level "who needs an ar15 all you need is ___" posts get all the upvotes.
Then there are the people who are lying about not wanting to take all guns they just want common sense gun control (that will ban ar15s, the most popular and available gun platform in America.)
