  1. Someone's gonna need to bump the healthcare policy thread for this convo.
  2. Apparently the 2025 motto is going to be "stack the bodies, figure out the details later."
  3. Homeowners and auto insurance CEOs on deck. Uh, anyone got a good stock tip on some publicly trader personal security firms. This is gonna spiral out.
  4. Private security details for errbody.
  5. Wait until you get a mass murder of an HR department. That’s when the real love will flow forth.
  6. It's all reacting to fast moving information, but doesn't read like a pro to me. I did like that notion of a bolt action 9mm handgun, but maybe that was a reaction to the novelty. If it's a hitman, it seems like a very unprepared one. I wouldn't hunt with one of my suppressed rifles without having a reasonable number of rounds down range to confirm the setup.
  7. Police report 3 casings and 3 unfired 9mm rounds found at the scene. I think this supports the notion that the shooter was using an semi auto with either a homemade can (as @locodos suggested) or some other sub optimal set up (no nielsen device). See 4:10 mark
  8. Racking talk not going away, but if this was a pro, I think that he would have the right hardware setup to cycle suppressed reliably. He has to cycle it for every shot. If its a bolt action, pro; semi-auto failing to cycle, amateur. Who knows.
  9. I take this back. Watched the video a few more times and this is certainly not "virtually identical". Appears his racking motion in more in line with a semi-auto that is failing to cycle.
  10. Agree that the video is not totally clear, but if you watching the racking motion in the video and compare it to the motion used in the youtube video on the B&T, it is virtually identical. He tilts it and racks it every time he shoots it. Could be failure to cycle an autoloader based on using subsonic rounds, but the racking motion would generally be different. I think that Brian got it right earlier. We'll find out eventually.
  11. I am working under the assessment offered upthread that the gun was a BT bolt action integrally suppressed handgun. The video is 100% compatible with that assessment, including the shooter working the bolt. But we could certainly find out that that was not the weapon used.
  12. If so this will be very easy to trace, assuming it was not smuggled into the country.
  13. It's a $2300 gun and subject to ATF approval to purchase. Assuming he didn't get it off the black market (unlikely imo), we're talking a few months on the waitlist and jumping through the ATF hoops. It is probably a relatively easy purchase to trace. Can't imagine there are a lot of these in circulation, niche gun, limited imports.
  14. In this situation, a manually cycled suppressed 9mm with subsonic rounds would be extremely quiet.
  15. Looks like a 100% targeted killing. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12/04/nyregion/brian-thompson-uhc-ceo-shot Live Updates: Police Hunt for Gunman After UnitedHealthcare C.E.O. Killed in Midtown Manhattan The executive, Brian Thompson, was killed in what the police described as a “brazen targeted attack” outside a hotel where the company was holding an investor meeting.
  16. Kennedy's confirmation hearing will make Hegseth blush.
  17. According to CNN that I was listening to on the drive today, some of the MAGA wing did not like because of some of the enforcement he did during COVID, including arresting some pastor for holding church services in March 2020 and enforcing vax mandates on his deputies. https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-pastor-arrest-church-service-coronavirus-tampa
  18. MLF should be the default method of settling up. You should already be on their mailing list.
  19. Oh no, I posted a long form podcast interview back when he got nominated nobody here even knew this guy's name, and then asked a poster who's perspective I respect to comment on the content. Hegseth is clearly unfit for the position, and I don't think he makes it through confirmation hearings. Might not even make it to one.
  20. What fun would that be? This was the culmination of 13 years of shit talking, and it turned out absolutely magnificently. I've even given the turnovers a pass at this point, cause they kept that glimmer of hope alive just long enough for it to be totally snuffed out with that goal line stand. Put that shit right into my veins.
  21. I thought that most of us had in laws and shit that made questionable life decisions. At least that is what most of the non food related holiday threads seem to suggest.
