issue
A social issue is a problem that affects many people within a society. It is a group of common problems in present-day society and ones that many people strive to solve. It is often the consequence of factors extending beyond an individual's control. Social issues are the source of conflicting opinions on the grounds of what is perceived as morally correct or incorrect personal life or interpersonal social life decisions. Social issues are distinguished from economic issues; however, some issues (such as immigration) have both social and economic aspects. Some issues do not fall into either category, such as warfare.
There can be disagreements about what social issues are worth solving, or which should take precedence. Different individuals and different societies have different perceptions. In Rights of Man and Common Sense, Thomas Paine addresses the individual's duty to "allow the same rights to others as we allow ourselves." The failure to do so causes the creation of a social issue.
There are a variety of methods people use to combat social issues. Some people vote for leaders in a democracy to advance their ideals. Outside the political process, people donate or share their time, money, energy, or other resources. This often takes the form of volunteering. Nonprofit organizationss are often formed for the sole purpose of solving a social issue. Community organizing involves gathering people together for a common purpose.
A distinct but related meaning of the term "social issue" (used particularly in the United States) refers to topics of national political interest, over which the public is deeply divided and which are the subject of intense partisan advocacy, debate, and voting. In this case "social issue" does not necessarily refer to an ill to be solved, but rather a topic to be discussed.
Hi everybody, today I took an Arisaka Type 38 out to the range, and this gun is not matching but has very clean parts and a very nice bore. I was shooting Norma 6.5 Japanese, and was getting a decent group at 100 yards with no issues cycling the gun, except that the ammo felt a bit hotter than...
Spreewerk P38. I've fired 25 rounds through it to test function. Includes one 8-rd magazine. An awesome piece of WW2 history. Cross-listed on my Gunbroker page (Nelson Munitions).
Will ship for $20, or FTF at your FFL in the Vancouver area.
So a guy from Milwaukie OR reached out to me with an issue with his Western Security safe. Seems he inherited it from his dad, but he couldn’t open the thing. I walked him through the process over the phone, but no luck. Both he and his wife tried it. I was very specific and I believe they...
So I want to keep certain details sparse until I know what I'm dealing with. Last summer (2022) I sold an SBR CZ scorpion to a shop. They said the transfer of a NFA item was a bit more complex but they would have no issue getting it done. They cut me a check and I put it out of my mind.
About 6...
Has anyone else had the last round fail to make it into the chamber and get absolutely smashed by the BCG? This seems to happen pretty consistently but only with the surefeed 20s, both black and grey, but no other mags. It seems like any ammo I use will do this. This was 77gr OTM by AAC, but...
For sale is an amazing 1911 that served in both WW1 and WWII.
The serial number of 244XXX confirms a build date of approximately March of 1918.
The quality inspection stamp reflects that Major John M. Gilbert inspected the pistol. (The JGM mark is a small circular imprint above the mag release...
Hi everyone! I guess this is my first post on here. As mentioned in the title, I'm looking to buy a S&W Model 10 revolver with RHKP backstrap stampings. I'm interested in the 10-7, 10-8, and 10-9 variants preferably with the circular lanyard loop still intact. I know already missed a few of the...
I am swapping out a few guns and want to upgrade some others and I have a couple with braces I want to get rid of... I figure if I pop the brace off of the CZ Scorpion, then there is no issue... boom... sell... but the Sig MPX Copperhead has an integrated brace... which now is an "SBR"... will a...
Nice Alice pack. No tears, frame is straight, extra straps. No stains, Great condition rather have this than any army ruck today.
I don’t have a use for it as I got a new hunting pack. If you look in my avatar it’s what I carried for a long time until I got a high end Ebler stock.

Yet another 550 primer question/issue. Small primers work great, switched out to large it's not picking the primer up. I've cleaned the bar, reset the cup, put a new mag tip on and everything else. The bar is sliding all the way back but it's not picking up the primer, one primer is sitting...
Coat is in perfect condition.
Fur trim is prestine along with all other fixtures and zippers.
Only markings are the names written on and above tag
I'm 5'11, 200lbs this jacket fits me perfect (Medium)
$80
Winchester pre-64 model 70 308 featherweight.
Most recent UPDATE EDIT: Nevermind! I got it! Much easier than I thought and did not require full selector dis/reassembly. :s0155:
It looks like they simply reassembled the firing pin with the selector in the fire position which locked it up...
A "pathway to citizenship" means tens of millions of current illegals will soon be "voting for gun sense." And our "gun rights groups" can think of nothing to say about it. (Chuck Schumer D-NY/Facebook)

I purchased a bunch of magazines on Election Day. They arrived in Portland on Thursday night and haven’t moved since. Fed Ex has said my package is delayed and has no expected delivery date. Is anyone else having this problem? I thought we had until the 8th. I really hope they don’t get confiscated.
People I think are feeding crows. I’m not really into being woke up to angry crows. It’s portland. Besides moving, dealing with it, or browning what can I do?
Have 3 15 round beretta mags that are in used shape. Found these in a box from my time in the Marines. Didn’t even know I had them. Can only sell to Oregon residents since mag ban. One is original Italian made, other 2 are USA made in Illinois(see pics)
Would take $15 per mag.
