Hey,

Elected municipal official here. The actual worker oppression is employers forcing employees to be so strict with their time they cannot take a few hours off to go to necessary appointments without serious repercussion. Or that people aren’t paid well enough or provided enough work benefits to take the time they need in their personal lives.

Your local municipal workers are working class too. I’m elected and I make less than 30k a year on salary while working a position that is very much built around hourly work. I work through lunch and, while I have control over my office hours and employees, the only thing I don’t have control of is how much my town budgets (if that budget is successfully voted on by the townspeople) to pay me and my employees. My ability to decide what hours we are open is my ONLY bargaining chip to ensure the people below me get paid an acceptable wage to live on and sometimes I’m not even able to accomplish that. You can bet your ass I’d like myself and my employees, who are paid pathetically minimally to do what we do, to be able to go home for dinner in the daylight. Or have time to go to their second job of the day which most of them have. It’s the one thing I can provide them. (And why can’t we pay people more? Well I’d like to, but that would raise people’s property taxes significantly which they are not keen to do and which also may be unaffordable for some residents. I am the third highest paid employee. At 30k a year…)

There are a lot of ways that these offices can and do make things more accessible and it is something many of the workers that work in government offices have pushed hard for. You can do everything in my office through email exchange. All our records are online. All our meetings have zoom options and detailed minutes and zoom participation is considered being at the meeting. We will come to your house if you are physically unable to deliver documents and provide notary services. We mail all ballots to all active voters for elections. If you need to do something physically in the office and can’t be there during our office hours we will literally come in, unpaid, on the weekends to service you if you make an appointment. I’m not associated with our DMV, but you can do literally everything online for that too.

We are trying very hard to be able to provide for everybody, but we are also so incredibly burned out (we were forced to work and be open during the height of Covid yet were not deemed ‘necessary services’ so got no benefits of such and many of us work beyond our pay and hours). I ALSO struggle to make appointments because my office has to be open for all crucial hours for people. So yeah, I would like to go home at 4:30 after all that actually. It is the one thing I can actually do for myself and my mental health.

Without hyperbole government offices that take half an hour of waiting to get anywhere and close at 4pm are are a form of oppression against the working class

Gun stores do more than sell firearms—they serve as essential resources for safety education, legal compliance, and responsible ownership. A gun shop in Las Vegas, Nevada plays a critical role in ensuring customers understand the responsibilities that come with owning a firearm.

PSA

Nevada gaming policy prohibits firearms in casinos and any property that allows gambling. A private property reserves the right to treat any person who brings a firearm onto property (including parking lots) as a threat to public safety, usually resulting in being removed and trespassed from the property, with force if necessary. If you have questions on specific establishment rules, please call before arriving at the property and make sure you are speaking with security or a representative for security.

Thank you, and stay safe.

Understanding the Second Amendment: A Conservative Perspective

In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court made a big decision. They said Americans have the right to keep guns in their homes for protection. This ruling in District of Columbia v. Heller changed the game. It showed how important the Second Amendment is in keeping us safe from tyranny and protecting ourselves. The 1970s saw a big change in the conservative movement.

The article "Don’t Let Magazine Limits Undermine Your Defense," authored by Mike Boyle and published on The Armory Life, discusses the impact of firearm magazine capacity restrictions enacted by certain states. These laws limit the types of firearms and accessories citizens can own, labeling modern sporting rifles as "assault rifles" and imposing a restriction to typically 10 rounds per magazine. Despite believing these laws have no effect on violent crime, Boyle emphasizes the importance of complying with them to avoid legal complications for those who carry firearms for personal defense. While some might consider moving to a different state to avoid such restrictions, the writer acknowledges this option isn't viable for everyone due to factors like jobs and family. He suggests adapting to these regulations through mindset, tactics, and firearm training, emphasizing the importance of awareness, skill, and proper equipment. Boyle concludes that while magazine limits can be frustrating, focusing on these elements can help maintain a solid defense within legal boundaries.
