their coverage of recent geopolitical events is decidedly tribal and partisan: for instance, making russians and the chinese out to be cartoon villians for easy dunking on. that's not to say that either regime is saintly, but it's done to pander to the basest tribal instincts only, nuance and discernment be damned. it's truly awful.

For example, section 922r import rules are silly to begin with (basically certain imported weapons must have 10 or fewer foreign manufactured parts, said parts coming from a specific list, or are illegal), but the list is extra bad because it includes magazines (rather like labeling the cargo as a component of a cargo plane).

So if you have a foreign made "non-sporting" gun, if the magazines were not one of the 922r compliance parts, using a non-US manufactured magazine in the gun makes you some sort of criminal.

Imagine if importing a Toyota car not only required a certain specific number of US made parts, but that list included tires, so if it was delivered with US made tires, putting tires manufactured in Europe on your car would make you a criminal (unless you replaced other foreign made parts with US made parts, so maybe you need to replace the engine to legally use foreign made tires)... You'd probably think it's a law almost designed to make Toyota owners commit crimes by doing normal car maintenance.

I don't think you need to be a 2nd Amendment debate person or like guns to think various of the rules and laws around guns are at best questionable.

Fox News has never not been scummy.

Fox successfully and accurately identified an underserved market, and filled the void. Unfortunately, middle-of-the-road doesn't attract large audiences night after night. MSNBC has done exact same thing as Fox, just on the other end of the spectrum. CNN is an utter failure because it has no identity, its viewpoint is the same as MSNBC's but is inferior in just about every way.
