Congress is the legislative branch of the federal government, yes. They make the laws carried out by the executive branch. “Feds” refers to federal employees.

So yeah, members of Congress are feds, though not the ones you are used to seeing at your door.

What do you think Congress does then?

Do you not think the feds could pass a law saying that sellers have to keep a list of everyone who buys guns or ammo?

Honestly, I’m really curious at this point why commenters here are so absolutely convinced that they couldn’t.

If the government wants you to have to show id to buy ammo, it’ll happen.

Unless you are manufacturing your own ammunition, you have to interact with someone the government has leverage over.

All they have to do is grab a copy of the NRA membership roster and mandate that gun stores turn over sales records for purchases of guns or ammunition.

I guarantee they can get you on a list pretty quick if they want to.

Sir, this is a Lemmy.

Helicopters can glide too it’s just a little harder. When a helicopter loses power and needs to glide the first step is to aim it at the ground to pick up speed…

Step 2 is to pray you have the height to pull it off.

Why, need a good number to hand out when you aren’t really into someone at the bar and they won’t leave you alone?

I’m on Garuda, every game I have tried has worked great, sometimes I just have to choose a different proton version with an easy pull down menu. The only game I have given up is Destiny 2, because they say they will ban anyone on Linux because of their anti cheat.

“we’ve shut down the entire mechanism of government and it’s still not working and we’re all out of ideas!”

I switched from Bazzite to Garuda to get away from it being immutable. It’s been great.

People always talk about the learning curve and compromises, but Linux is finally in the “shit just works” stage, so it’s not much different than the Mac/PC decision people make every day.

Heck, in a lot of ways it is more similar to Windows than Mac is, so it should be an easier decision. For some reason though, everyone still treats it like… Well… It would be like treating Windows like you still have to know DOS.

That’s just not true anymore.

I can’t believe no one has mentioned the Star Trek the Next Generation episode where Moriarty tries to escape the holodeck and they basically put him on a flash drive running a simulation of the galaxy to solve the problem.

So… long COVID then. The vaccine doesn’t undo you having already had it…
