Assuming that hearing protection act part of the bill goes through, I could start another side hustle 3D printing suppressors and selling them for cheap. A lot of those high end suppresors are supposedly going to be in demand and out of stock.
But just like you, I'm not entirely optimisitc about it either. They are probably being lax about it because they know Americans won't do anything with firearms other than take them to firing ranges. They aren't even the driving force of military action anymore. Drones and precision strikes seem to be the way forward.
Agreed about surveillance vs troops. Any grassroots movement that truly threatens the structures of power can be quickly infiltrated and quashed. No movement has much of a chance unless it is backed by a faction of the elite. Really most of history is just elite factions in conflict, the idea that βthe peopleβ can rise up is both a distraction and a cover (cf the so-called color revolutions)
I love the way you organized and show your books! Much nicer than the simple way I have mine haha. There are some good ones on your list, some are on my to read list and some I have read as well.
@wizardperspective that would be a good part of that bill, but there are other horrid parts such as the selling of US public lands. Hopefully it fails and we get the hearing protection part another time.
my bookshelf is some actual brainrot

my score is 12, 17 if you count pdfs of dubious origin

@colexdev Yeah. I can always play the waiting game. Ammo is too expensive anyways to really care personally.
