And if you exclude them from voting, then it's not democracy anymore. A qualified democracy is still probably the best bet. My personal choice would be a nation with full democracy for citizens, but citizenship must be earned. It isn't birthright, or hereditary. Basically you test into...

If you need to offer tax incentives to attract businesses, then your taxes are too damn high. It's a slap in the face to residents and existing businesses, i.e. your constituents

Inertia can carry you places that no amount of traction can get you out of....

FIX THE GAS CANS NEXT.

Every car has 4 wheel brakes. 4wd doesn't help you stop any faster at all

Has anyone checked to see if Pfc Bragg is a descendant from the confederate general ? I think this would be even better if he was :)

Head to tractor supply to grab one now. I predict there may be a run on them later this year...

I would prefer a SCOTUS smackdown that ends the debate once and for all, but I'm not holding my breath. In the mean time I'll take whatever I can get. And of an EO can get us 4 years to expand what's "in common use" then I'm all for it.

This is one of the reasons why I have soured on the concept of democracy.

And a SCOTUS ruling is a lot stronger than an EO. The EO only lasts until the next Dem gets in the white house. Reversing a SCOTUS decision takes a lot more.

Casting alloy shows a melting point below 200 degrees. If you're worried a about overheating it, you could melt it out in a water or oil bath. Once removed from the stock you could just hold it by the barrel and put the chamber in a pot of boiling water for a few mins. Then just oil it up...

There are a lot more people implicated than just the ones he pardoned. And the people who did get pardons didn't act alone. Every accomplice needs to be prosecuted. We need to set a precedent that "your boss may get a pardon, but you'll go to prison if you help him". The lackeys should all...

The headlines would read "Trump puts thousands of doctors out of work".

You will never convince someone of something when their entire world view is dependent on not understanding it. But, we already have another thread for that topic...

If you can suspend it for this, did you really need it to begin with ?

Look at what stuff is covered in "arms control treaties". The full nuclear arsenal of the US and Soviet Unions, then Russia were regulated in a series of "Strategic Arms Limitation Treaties" The government certainly considered nuclear ICBMs as arms when they signed those.

There is nobody being stopped from possessing nukes by the law. The route you are suggesting is just far too expensive for all but the .00001% richest people. The entire country of Iran can't just make their own from scratch. There are only a handful of people on the earth who have the money...

Does this qualify as "arms" ? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_(nuclear_device)

When they identify someone fraudulently collecting that money, they need to check to see if they were fraudulently voting too.

I've always thought a golf course was a waste of a perfectly good rifle range. But Trump can afford both.

Oh, I'm sure they'd be a destructive device. But destructive devices are no more illegal than suppressors, and I have one of those sitting in my safe right now. I did say there would be paperwork. And I didn't say there were currently no infringements. Just that they weren't technically...

You *can* own nukes privately. You just don't have the means to acquire then. If Musk wanted one, there's nothing stopping him legally today. Sure, there would be some paperwork, but there's a 4473 for a deer rifle too. Now, nobody is going to sell him the fossils material, but he could...

I bet one of the DOGE guys threw that together in literally 30 mins. I guess they couldn't fine the obamacare website developers to spend $300M and 3 years on.

Back when stupid used to hurt. There's a reason they were good times.

Yet.

On top of that, this is happening under the Trump administration. And while they need to defend the government's position for a number of reasons, they certainly don't need to send the A team to do it. So, when this case reaches SCOTUS, let's hope Trump has the legal equivalent of the Butler...

Just a law that strips the immunity from civil liability for anyone attempting to infringe on the 2A would go a long way. And make them pay the legal fees. "State legislator proposed a BS law, everyone in the state can sue them personally for it". There is a stampede of ambulance chasers...

It was also total war. Basically civilians were as much a part of the war effort as anyone else. Nobody questions the right to bomb a munitions factory during a war, even though it's all civilians who work there. Once you are in a total war situation, then *everyone* is serving a war...

Well, they can, they just need to decide they don't give a fuck what the media says.

There's plenty of roles for him on "the walking dead"
