You forgot to mention that the left is mostly funded by anti-gun interests. That is where the majority of gun control legislation comes from. If money from Bloomberg or Soros helps you win, you push gun control in return.

I also think trying to pin the 'culture war' on gun companies is bizarre. Are you from the US? Your take on this seems like something you would see on MSNBC.

Tucson and Phoenix are very much the blue part of Arizona

different ballistic trajectories. You need to zero your rifle with one ammo type. This may be different for shotguns

there are more options for shotgun shells than for bullets.

For bullets you can basically do pure copper. I think anything else falls into a 'armor piercing' category that is banned. I'm not 100% clear on the laws there but I know that is why most bullets are still lead core (in addition to cost factors).

lead ammo bans are a way to ban guns without banning guns themselves, similar to 'microstamping' and other odd proposals. Basically mandate something that makes it so costly that no one can do it

there is absolutely money involved. The amount of people that has to get these certs is absolutely massive. There is a lot of money to be made in selling dumps

anyone doing consulting is pretty much required to do certs. If you want to be a Amazon/Google/Microsoft partner you have to have a pretty high number of certified employees, and you need to be a partner to get most of the work in the field.

cheating is definitely rampant. I find that when trying to find study material for exams, half the search results are exam dumps

Its kind of an interesting parallel

the politicians that are forcing mask use laws have been shown time and time again not wearing masks themselves.

the politicians forcing environmental laws have been shown time and time again leading extravagant environmentally damaging lifestyles.

You can't escape the feeling that these mandates are meant for the poor and not the rich and powerful political class

"The researchers proposed a tweak so that hate speech against Black, Jewish, LGBTQ, Muslim, and multiracial people would be taken down through an automated system."

Hmm I just read another article on this which said the proposed tweak was actually to STOP automatically blocking hate speech against white people.

I guess in light of that you can see how the quote is factually correct but worded in such a way to completely misrepresent the nature of the proposal

Hmm so are they getting rid of Amazon Linux 2?

I thought Amazon Linux 2 was the official "forever" rolling release.

I wonder if this was prompted by some of the changes IBM has made to CENTOS
