Exactly, so it isn’t the same, you are stuck with obsolete weapons, if the worthless politcos want me to agree to any new limitations, they should first lead by example.

If you're a firearms manufacturer you are not limited to obsolete full-auto. Heck, with enoungh money Thompson's submachine guns with 100rd drum magazines - which the US didn't issue to soldiers during WWII* - are available.
That's the gangster gun from the 1920s and not obsolete by any stretch of the immagination.
* The drums were too heavy and awkward. Army-issued Thompsons use 20rd or 30rd box magazines.

Ehhhh, I mean yeah a Thompson will do what it's supposed to do, but there is a reason it's not still standard issue, mainly to do with the fact that it is an obsolete weapon. Not useless, but certainly lacking many of the incremental improvements that have been made in the field of firearms in the near century since the Thompsons release. Like this is a nearly 100 year old design. We have made some improvements in the field since.
And really this is all tangential, because regardless of if a Thompson can compete with an M4, you are limited to the Thompson, and it has been made as hard to get as legally possible (and many would argue flatly unconstitutional).
Edit: The design of the Thompson is in fact over 100 years old, and the firearm has been in production for 101 years for clarification.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it "false flag", but there's definitely something fishy about it. I work at a government building in DC. My coworkers and I were told to stay home the day of the inauguration. They knew there was a risk something could happen, but the Capitol wasn't properly secured? Why aren't the people who made that call being brought before this show commission?

Because they are the one that MADE the commission. Specifically Nancy Pelosi.
The commission isn't about any actual investigation. It is 100% bs propaganda to try and undermine Trump and anyone that supports him.
It's also the first time in history that the opposition members of the commission weren't picked by the opposition party.
They were picked by Nancy and she picked the most hateful anti republican anti Trump people she could. Liz Cheney and Adam kinzinger.
It's purely a witchhunt and they have broken several rules, like leaking private info to the media, altering evidence, sending the fbi after people, having people detained for over a year in solitary confinement without a hearing or trial on misdemeanor charges (though I'm not sure if the commission itself is responsible for that atrocity), and ignoring any evidence of stuff being odd or it not being a insurrection.
Mark my words. This bs will be thought of as worse than the McCarthy stuff in the history books.
Because the person who made the call to keep the Nat Guard out was Pelosi, and make Gen Milley, who had to have known about the glowie/IC agent provocateurs in the crowd.
The people who truly orchestrated Jan 6th are also the ones running this committee, because we live in a nuclear armed banana republic now.
But many still by the MSM narrative of Jan 6th, so they can keep it going, and there is pretty much nothing we can do about it.
Because all the Right knows how to do is lose fast, or lose slow, and the cope about a 'Red Wave' presupposes the Dems wouldn't just cheat again, or make their own election fraud claims to foul it up.
We are no longer a 'United' nation, were are a post-Constitutional oligarchy pretending to be a republic and the tools of the gov know this, but don't care, because they either were in on it, or are trapped in enlistment contracts made when they though Trump would get 4 more years.
The US gov is illegit at the moment, and will probably never be legit again, so people need to figure out how to live in that sort of future.
History will not look upon the current branch of democrats very kindly in a 100 years. But it unfortantly takes that long for people to see through the lefts bullshit. AKA wilson was fucking horrible.

Tommy guns use .45ACP. That's the pistol round meant to be used by the semi-automatic M1911 with "spray-and-pray" at close quarters while someone with a Tommy gun is reloading as quickly as possible.
It is not a rifle round.
EDIT: M1911s are 7+1 sidearms. Tommy guns are "in you go" for things like room sweeping when you're the first one through the door during urban combat.

You do know Sub machine guns are supposed to be short range. That's like saying a CZ Scorpion in 9mm is going to be good at long range.
You do know Thompsons had a semi auto switch right? And were decent at range in an age without body armor.
I dont even get why this matters

Which was exactly my point. They were designed for close range close quarters.
Using something for what it wasn't designed for just makes it look bad.
Let's drop the weapon discussion. It's not on topic.

I was making a broader generalization about the inequality in what the average citizen can get vs what the security details of politicians can get.
What I wasn't doing was making an exact technical specification between the two firearms, because they don't actually matter to the point I was making.

Pre mid terms. Dobbs is supposed to be coming out this month, the riots will kick into high gear the second it does.

Naw, Frisco's super-conservative according to them so obviously they'll support an Abortion Ban, otherwise all the MSM and such saying it's a conservative hotspot would be lying.

I'm not convinced about wide scale riots on this issue. We'll find out soon enough.
