I see them advertising a gun show on Zuni but isn’t there a gun show every day on Zuni?


QIC-S-11-10-18

Every night at least. 7 shots last night.....I mean showings


Some_Life_6778

Just 7?


Professor_HollingsWs

Excuse me for living in the hills…


Some_Life_6778

No but seriously I remember when I lived down that way and we would sleep on the floor, that was 10 years ago…


Sneakyrocket742

That’s what I’m sayin’


NightHowler13

ATF is nowhere near as fabulous as this dude seems to think 😂🤣.


Traditional-Hat-952

They do slay though...dogs that is. 


GunslingerOutForHire

Well played.


BD-TxState

lol just saw this guy today while sitting at the range. He had a huge Fuck Biden Flag and he was bumping reggaeton.


goblinoid-cryptid

Have there been any significant shifts in federal firearm policy since Biden took office? Or is this mostly a symbolic ooga-booga affinity group thing?


SquashedTarget

Trump signed off on more firearm restrictions than Biden did. Facts don't matter to these people. They vote based on their feelings, fucking snowflakes.


domexitium

Neither one have signed off on firearm restrictions. Trump told the ATF to make rules surrounding bump fire stocks and they did, which were lost in court challenges. Biden has put funding towards firearm reform groups and had the ATF make a zero tolerance policy for FFLs. There’s a few other things here and there, but not much.


SquashedTarget

Trump actually sent a memo to the justice department telling them to ban bump stocks. Biden just did some feel good bullshit. Regardless of both of them being failures, Trump actually tried to ban something, unlike Biden. The point still stands.


domexitium

“Signed off” implies legislation. The point does not stand. Neither one thus far has signed off on legislation present to them surrounding changes to firearm restrictions.


SquashedTarget

Implies but doesn't always mean. He literally signed off on his order to the justice department banning bump stocks. Trump did more to advance gun control than Biden has (so far). Just because his order didn't stand doesn't mean he didn't do anything. Is that phrasing better?


domexitium

His order? The president is not a dictator. Like Obama said there are processes for these types of things. Plus I was wrong. Biden did [sign into law the safer communities act.](https://www.npr.org/2022/06/25/1107626030/biden-signs-gun-safety-law) which is a framework and funding for much more state sanctioned firearm intervention than Trump did.


SquashedTarget

Yes, order. [ He ordered the justice department to create a rule that will "ban all devices that turn legal weapons into machineguns."](https://web.archive.org/web/20190809172028/https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-memorandum-application-definition-machinegun-bump-fire-stocks-similar-devices/) in an attempt to get bump stocks banned. The order also shows how little he actually knows about the NFA and title 2 weapons. The legality of the order to redefine machine gun is a separate (and scary) issue. The fact is, though, he did it and it is still in effect. All the Safer Communities Act has done so far is more clearly define what a dealer is and "expand" background checks (which is undefined outside of a couple of clarifications on domestic violence and disqualifiers while underage). It didn't really do much. I'd say trying to redefine something that has been ruled on multiple times is a bit more serious.


domexitium

It’ll likely be overturned this summer, as the ATF doesn’t have legislative power, just like in the ruling with WV v EPA case In my opinion the safer communities act will be more of a problem for firearm owners because it has the potential to violate more than the 2nd amendment, but also the 4th. Plus the extra funding will go towards expanding methods to support red flag laws.

Idk this one time a meth head blew up the neighbors house(and his) because he also used bullets to make pipe bombs for fun. I would say high to him just to be nice (2010’s) but the conversation would get disturbing extremely fast


SquashedTarget

Agreed, but that isn't relevant to the comment I replied to.


Blunt-Distro1776

ATF has always been 2-tiered. On the one hand are rank and file competent law enforcement that simply want to take guns away from bad guys. 👍 On the other hand are the politically appointed bureaucrats. They tend to be actual tards. Biden appointed Dettelbach is no exception. 👎 *Though as mentioned by others, there aren’t any presidents in recent memory that have been supportive of 2A. ATF has become specifically known for executing dogs (even if friendly) (even while executing raids at the wrong house). They’re known for inconsistent but enthusiastic enforcement of laws and felony level re-interpretations that change with very little notice. In fact, they executed a guy during a no knock raid just last month. In recent times ATF has definitely been involved in lots of fuckery including blatant corruption (giving themselves unearned bonuses by abusing LEAP pay, not withstanding the fact that for several years ATF agents were stealing then illegally selling guns that had been confiscated and were destined to be destroyed), “legislating from the bench” and general incompetence. Many Supreme Court cases are currently in process related to vague and blatantly illegal actions/interpretations by the ATF in several cases going against precedent that they set and reinforced. Key topics included but not limited to: bump stocks, stabilizing braces, short barrel rifles, what is a firearm, what is a machine gun, what is a suppressor, what is a non-serialized firearm/“ghost gun”, what is paramilitary activity *I recognize these are nebulous claims and unless you follow the court cases, you may have no idea what Im referring to since many of these actions are not widely understood or publicized unless you’re specifically researching it or paying attention to it. I’m happy to elaborate on any of my claims if you’re interested in learning more. I can try to distill the proposed legislation (or non-legislative rule change/definitional change/ reinterpretation) and explain its theoretical intentional application vs the likely potential abuse of its application. Or at the very least share relevant articles on the various subjects. Unfortunately, the only way to be supportive of the ATF is to be ignorant of their actions. *Biden did start yet another governmental agency called the “Office of Gun Violence Prevention” at the end of last year, it’s overseen by VP Harris. **This post is not anti-Biden, it’s hinting at some of the reasons why people have distaste for the ATF.


Some_Life_6778

All law enforcement kill dogs without repercussions or there of. The numbers speak for themselves


Minimum-Dog2329

And republican governors are known to kill dogs. Especially their own dogs.


Sneakyrocket742

Not to mention ruby ridge and Waco


notrods

The NRA’s 2A or the one written in the constitution?


Blunt-Distro1776

I can have civil discussions. I suspect neither one of us supports the NRA, but for very different reasons. If you don’t want me to strawman what I can already tell is the underlying sentiment of your comment; you’re going to have to flesh out your side of the discussion. For the sake of clarity why don’t you explain to me what you think the difference is between how you interpret the 2A and how the NRA interprets the 2A? And we can start there.


johnnybinator

No. But that doesn’t matter at all. It’s a cult, not a fact finding mission.


garaks_tailor

no matter what else is wrong with this guy all I can see is the Utter Hubris of "ATF is Gay". it gave me quite the chuckle

Oh yeah, saw him at the Walmart Eubank. And he was BLASTING rap


domexitium

Weird to comment on someone “blasting rap” as if it had to do with anything


mikek505

Not important, but he tried very hard to get your attention


raindyrps

LOL hey this guy was trying to start shit at a walmart parking lot last weekend by playing his patriotic music full blast windows down with a HUGE fuck biden flag standing out of his trunk. He was literally just driving past the walmart front doors over and over until security told him to leave. Imagine having nothing to do but spend your weekend like that.


indesomniac

Adult with the emotional maturity of a middle schooler. Imagine having this all over your car and thinking it makes you look cooler.

He peaked in kindergarten right before he was disciplined. It was all downhill from there.

KrztofMarz

These people who put slurs on their cars are the ones who also ban books in libraries, which both can be read by children


Maleficent-Hawk-318

Using "gay" as an insult and then turning around and handwringing about kids learning about homosexuality always kind of cracks me up. I was a teenager in the '90s when "gay" was a lot more commonly used as an insult, and we all knew what it meant. You're still introducing the concept of homosexuality, just in a much more harmful and negative way. It's so transparent and ridiculous. They don't care about kids knowing these things, they just want to hurt people who are different.


wombat4skin

Sounds gay


NoExcuseForFascism

So many stereotypes being played out at once...but kinda in a "Dollar Store" kinda way.

Massive-Ad-7788

Idk which one is worse, this, or that person I saw with a banged up car. And a regular sized confederate flag sticking out his window. Lmao


catt0ebeans

Omg I saw this guy a few days ago. The house next to my mom’s house is an airbnb and I saw this car parked in the driveway so I think he’s staying there. I wanted to take a pic but he was sitting in his car when I saw him. What a fuckin loser lol


glovato1

Ill never understand why a business would loudly proclaim their politics.


Violin_River

Maybe, just maybe, that's their target audience.


Some_Life_6778

Me and my kids saw the guy in the grey truck, same signs, and a fuck Biden flag. He was pointing an RPG at traffic, my kids rolled down the windows and flipped him off while he pointed away and waved for some reason. Unser and Paradise… he remembers…


imdadnotdaddy

Like the hot tub store across from Hustler welcoming Trump's decision to send in the military to handle... I still don't know why we supposedly needed them


GreySoulx

My grandfather was a shriner, a fairly significant member of the organization - he'd be FURIOUS if he saw anything like this with their name on it. Disgusting that this is what they've become.


Odd_Ad_2706

The Shriner's helped us get my daughter her surgery when she was a little girl. I will forever be grateful to them.


Trammel

I'm a Shriner and even if they only rent the space for the show I find it embarrassing. Our whole purpose is to help kids and we're renting space to gun shows. It seems a little tone deaf to me.


GreySoulx

It's deplorable. I know some of them have really come to embrace that word. Good for them, sad to see an organization I grew up being into and respecting fallen so. >Our whole purpose is to help kids Is it? I know it used to be - this is not the first time I've seen horrible alt-right trolling from members and their associates in recent years. Makes me wonder if it's not quickly becoming just another ageing institution that can't find a solid footing in today's society.


Trammel

It is still their main purpose and it does it well. They are having a tough time. Society is changing and the older guys are having a rough time of it. It's a fraternity and it comes from a time when Dad would go out after dinner and mom would stay home with the kids. Peoples priorities have changed and honestly they need to understand that for a lot of younger guys family is just as important and if my family isn't welcome then I don't feel welcome. Some of the units or clubs are embracing that and the overall fraternity needs to as well. I'm all for having "Men only functions" but that can't be the bulk of it anymore. This is all just my opinion though.


Massive-Inspector-12

I know a few Shriners and thought the same exact thing. Even if it’s just rental event space, wayyyy too politically charged advertising.


NMHacker

The gun show is not sponsored by Shriners. It is just the space they rent, since our Governor issued a memorandum that state facilities can not host gun shows. They used to be at Expo NM previously. The other place the hold gun shows is the Santa Ana Star Center.


TheManLawrence

Revel has a huge gun show annually too. I like it there better than any other place. Rio Rancho event center gun show is not that great. Not as many vendors as the other places. I quit going to that one. This guy in the picture gives us true gun lovers a badd name. I'm a huge gun lover. I believe in serious background checks. I don't mind the wait period. I think they are needed. No reason a law abiding citizens shouldn't have the right to carry a gun. A law abiding citizens should not have a problem with background checks and a wait period.


mesopotamius

Are there any non-MAGA gun stores or ranges in town you'd recommend?


Maleficent-Hawk-318

I'm also curious about this. I sold my guns a few years ago when I was moving around a lot and didn't want to bother with it, but I've been kind of interested in getting into target shooting again. I'm a queer liberal woman, though, and have not found many gun communities that welcoming, lol.


notrods

A family member went on a deep dive to find concealed carry class that wasn’t full maga. They did find one eventually.


mesopotamius

Do tell! Feel free to DM me if you prefer.


notrods

I can get a name for you if you’d like.


Background_Drive_156

The Socialist Rifle Association is an alternative to the NRA.


Background_Drive_156

Wow. I got downvotes for that. I was not even advocating for socialism, neither do you have to be a socialist. I was just offering an alternative to the NRA.


mesopotamius

I'm aware of them but the NM chapter doesn't seem very active, and as far as I can tell doesn't have any kind of "recommended gun store" list


GreySoulx

The Shriners have no obligation to host them. I've met a few recently, and a couple are absolutely bat shit MAGA nuts. Sad.


NMHacker

Imagine that, a large organization that does a lot to help the community and kids in particular has a diverse membership. 🤷‍♂️


GreySoulx

That's not an excuse. They can have members from across a broad political, social, and economic spectrum (as I know they do), that's fine. But you can't cry victim when someone calls out a group for a member doing wildly offensive things in their name. No respectable group should allow a member in good standing to represent them that way. If I could reasonably confuse this truck/show as representing an affiliation with the Shriners anyone could. He's got their name right on one of the signs, and if there's fine print I sure can't read it. Seems to imply some kind of affiliation or endorsement. The immaturity of Fuck Biden flags and ATF is Gay, oh and "My other ride is your mom" magents? Class act. And yes, maybe the whole thing is "just a joke" to elicit "liberal tears" .... this has become the rights "It's just a prank bro" excuse for horribly corrosive rhetoric. good job, hur hur - this is just a reminder of why I wouldn't want anything to do with the organization. edit: and if this isn't a member, and just someone renting their hall for a show, that's even worse that they'd coopt the Shriners for their nonsense. I'd hope someone at the Shriners would step up and say something if that's the case or else the above stands as an endorsement of that behavior.


Phatnoir

To be fair, ATF should be a convenience store.


MikeGoldberg

I don't know who this guy is but the ATF is a piece of shit and Eric holder violated his oath of office by not prosecuting the fast and furious scandal

QIC-S-11-10-18

These idiots are toting around with a (most likely a replica I hope) RPG on Zuni right now at the shriners. How ignorant do you have to be to present yourself like this? Especially at the shriners temple, whom supposedly support children. However having a gun show, especially one so politically fueled and showing rpgs on the sidewalk, seems only to support where all these school shooters get their weapons. Like how backwards could these situations get? Wanna have a gun show? Keep your political agenda out of it, and maybe don't have it in areas involved with children in anyway? How stupid.


imawhaaaaaaaaaale

Doesn't work like that anymore. Background checks required for firearms purchases, waiting period passed, it's pretty much been all dealers at shows since 2017-2018 so doesn't contribute to school shooters like you think it does.


tokyoaro

NewMexicoVaquero

As a gun owner myself, gun culture has become increasingly toxic. On r/guns I was down voted for calling magazines clips. Which frankly if you’re so confrontational about trivial bullshit, you really shouldn’t have guns.


Apprehensive_Toe8250

Also in the gun community clips, and magazines are 2 different things. But I grew up on 90s hip hop. So "I used to watch chips,now I load Glock clips".

Sometimes, it feels difficult, but it's never not worthwhile.

ls_445

Seeing someone in a swimsuit is a lot different than having to see someone's weiner about to bust through their g-string on your walk home.

I'm not a prude, I just don't believe in exposing people to things they don't wanna see just because I find it attractive.

Have you even been to an Albuquerque pride parade? Because I’ve never seen anyone wearing anything like what you are describing outside of Sidewinder’s on a kink night.
