There are no good Republicans.

None. Zip Zilch Zero None Of Them Not A Single Pleasant Person.

They are a revolting corrupt embezzlement ring with literally zero redeeming qualities

Fuck Trump and his spineless boot licking thugs and Fuck Massie and his rose-tinted followers.

Release the Epstein files transparency proposition WITHOUT that gun obsessed bigoted hack's contribution or prosperity.

The pre-1986 ban M60 he's holding and the BAR she has are 50-100K each.

If the FAL is full auto, it wouldn't be that much less expensive.

    That's a Thompson, not a BAR.

    A BAR would be about the same size as the M60. BAR shoots 30.06 (7.62x63), actually longer rounds than the M60 (7.62x51), usually had a bipod, thing's pretty big.

    If she was holding a BAR in that same position, the barrel end and bipod would be on or past the hand of redshirt son behind her.

    A Thompson on the other hand is a sub machine gun, 9x19, much closer in overall size to what we'd now call a carbine or short barelled rifle, its roughly M4 sized.

    Hard to tell the exact variant but its likely either the WW2 era M1928A1 or M1A1, they simplified and reinforced some bits of the design compared to the old 'Chicago Typewriter' version, for mass wartime production.
