All it took was the slightest whiff that all imports may be banned, and suddenly every conservative gun nut wants one. I sometimes think the slow slide into theocratic nationalism could probably be halted by just telling conservatives that the government is banning voting for liberal candidates.

Get somebody to pass a story to the media that (insert gun here) is going to be banned and sales skyrocket. Personally I reckon all those AR's are firmly in the hands of the "spray and pray" brigade and most likely owned by morons who don't know what a fire selector switch is let alone a safety.

I was under the impression that there haven’t been any new automatics on the market for decades; if you want an automatic you need a special license and someone willing to sell.

Every Machine Gun is full-auto, but not every gun capable of full-auto is a Machine Gun.
If it has a limited burst or single-shot firing switch, it's (almost certainly) not a Machine Gun. I believe the AK-47 has a semi-auto firing mode, which would put it firmly into Automatic Rifle territory.
I'm being a total Pedant, though. Because, as you rightly state, it's rather difficult and costly to legally obtain and operate a fully automatic weapon. The US Government are quite rightly concerned about how potentially dangerous these weapons could be in the wrong hands, compared to - oh, I dunno - a weapon where you need to pull the trigger every time you want to inflict grievous damage on another human being.

According to Wikipedia, Title 2 defines a machine gun as, "Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger."

My interest is in how they work rather than what they're used for, so naturally I prefer watching Ian take something apart without any loud background music.

each of his careers was built on working out what people wanted to hear and then telling them that in such a way they would believe him. Then... never being around long enough to face the consequences. He knew if he got fired for lying or fucking up he'd get another job, probably a better one. If he got caught cheating he'd just get another girlfriend, wife, whatever -- move on. Fuck up a friendship, no problem, he'll find others.
The prime ministership though, this is a problem - he knows anywhere from here is down and he'll not give this up voluntarily.
The problem the Conservative party has is nobody else could lead it promising different things to different people and actually be believed. Lower taxes? Sure, but that's an end to leveling up and northern constituencies will go back to Labour. Leveling up? Sure, but that'll need weath distribution and hand safe tory seats to the Liberal Democrats. Morduant, Truss, Sunak, Hunt - whichever one takes on the job will have to commit to a specific policy and single course of action that will result in disappointing a huge swathe of the party and the electorate as nobody can ever lie as well as Johnson.

They are all mediocre, middle management types in the tory party, and labour are no better, they just try to be more authentic and jump on whatever is the latest bandwagon to get down with the kids.
The rot set in when we started to have professional politicians who went straight from school to PPE at university, then a job in politics until they got thrown a seat as a reward. This has been compounded by years in the EU where they just rubber stamped whatever was handed to them and didn't have to actually make good decisions or improve the state of the country. And of course there was always the EU to blame when things went wrong, as they always do.
And it's not just Westminster, everywhere you look there are the same hopeless, yet overconfident and overpaid incompetent wankers who build personal empires, fail miserably at the jobs they were entrusted with and always trot out "lessons will be learned" type of excuses when their inability to perform the most basic of tasks leads to mayhem and death.

What I object to is incompetence not being punished. If you are going to be in a position of power and influence, then you should also be prepared to fall on your sword when you fuck up. It comes with the territory, or used to anyway. There are no consequences for executives in the public sector or politics any more, just more falling upwards in their careers.

Regardless of their party or background, I'd like our politicians to have actually done something like proper hard work at some point prior. All the top parties have a tranche of PPE students on the fast track, whose entire lives are directly, or tangentially, about cultivating their political career.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was some kind of congenital defect passed down through generations of inbreeding. Every single member of the brood (Mary included) display some inherent level of cuntitude to the degree that they remind me of a cosmopolitan version of the Carter Family.
