That must be new. I don't remember seeing that the last time I looked (which, admittedly, has been a long time. I stlll shoot, but I have enough guns so haven't looked)

Both! IIRC they started a while ago; 80% has always been legal (it seems counterintuitive to those not in the U.S. or heavily involved in firearms, but manufacturing your own firearms for personal use has always been legal) but some states started freaking out about it, so they started offering 0% to mock idiot politicians. They'll sell them--they're just the blanks for their 80% offerings--but it's mainly mockery.

And for those in draconian states, some even offer zero-percent lower receivers!

My printer isn't even connected to the internet. I slice, save to a thumb drive, print. Now that the NFA tax has been zeroed, I can even legally print suppressors now! This, like NY's (NYC's? I forget) proposal a week or two ago, is completely unenforceable and likely unconstitutional.

It's a good start. I'd be happier with "UN out of the US and US out of the UN" but we've got three years to go

Or they just stop selling (direct, anyway) to that state. Plenty of places refuse to sell to anyone in CA, for example.

The downvoting of accurate information while people upvote wrong information makes me weep.

The memetic damage is already done, just like how we weirdly banned straws because of a 4th grader's science paper.

...unlike humans we can easily cut animals open and look.
Not with that attitude!

I was wondering why I found myself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on my face!

Not everyone has their ashes scattered or dropped in the ocean. Catholics in particular allow cremation but the cremains have to remain "intact". My uncle was cremated and he is buried with my grandparents above their vault.

Then you have to look at the measures proposed by those of the activist persuasion.
Well yeah. There's a lot of money to be made in activism! Thing is, though, that in order to keep your spot at the trough, you have to always have something to complain about. Optimistically, we're seeing push back as people get wise to the scam. "First they came for the incandescent lights, then they came for the gas stoves and furnaces, then they came for the beef..."
