      Surprisingly your local state government isn’t doing a whole lot of overseas bombing or arms shipments.

        Perhaps the commenter is referring to Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) who has been a staunch supporter of Israel’s “defense” in Gaza.

          That truly is one of the saddest things I’ve seen recently, and one of the biggest betrayals from people I supported.

          Still, thank fuck Dr. Oz isn’t in office.

        Not that they’re correct, but Pennsylvania is home to Magnum Research who are the makers of the Desert Eagle. So they definitely have been doing some arms shipments.

          Do they still make Desert Eagles for the military? Every person I’ve ever talked to that’s used one in service says it’s painfully unwieldy and one of the worst guns they’ve ever used

          Edit: also, according to Wikipedia, the Desert Eagle is manufactured in Pillager, MN

          Also according to the same article, only Portugal’s GOE and Poland’s GROM still use them in service
