We should make it a felony to go past that 6 month limit, or to take more than three days to process a renewal. God, this shit is so terrible. A felony should be a crime that really matters, not a goddamn expired license.

Unless, of course, the citizens consented. Which many do, particularly under the pressure they can find themselves in such situations... which, IMO, is very likely an indirect violation of our rights.

I doubt we'll ever find a direct, irrefutable link between X and autism. I suspect there are a myriad of things that "elevate risk" as opposed to "definitively cause." It's like cancer. Not many things "cause" cancer, but many things "increase the risk of" cancer. I'm quite certain genetics play...

Chugging Tylenol is not the brightest idea. Pretty easy to screw up your liver something fierce.

I am a free speech absolutist. People should be able to say or otherwise express anything, to anyone, at any time. Even intentionally incite riots. People are responsible for their own behavior. A rioter is responsible for their actions, not the person who suggested they riot. Like guns and oh...

I'm surprised by how much this is affecting me. I'm normally quite detached from deaths that aren't really, really, really close to me. A tidbit from an article someone linked in the closed thread might speak to why: I don't know about seeing myself, but what I did see in Charlie was an...

Black shirt guy is almost certainly on his security team, I've seen those arms many times.

The party of inclusion and tolerance has to shoot a man who does nothing more than debate with people. Absolutely disgusting.

It's not the start, it's a continuation of the path down the slippery slope we are already on: 1. See the question about "involuntary commitment" on the 4473. 2. See the SAFE act giving the state the ability to look into your medical records to determine whether or not to allow you to own...

Bad, bad, bad idea. The only people who should be restricted from possessing firearms are people who are incarcerated.

Yeah, I'm not going to fight the military on my own. But that doesn't matter, because I lost all of my guns in an unfortunate boating accident the day before the confiscation order came out. I'll contract Darth to scuba them out when the real fight starts.

Eh, this seems like a pretty weak argument. "2A is a right, so firearms or firearm parts should be excluded from tariffs" is a cop-out. The whole point of tariffs is to bring manufacturing to home soil. If that means increased prices for a while, that's fine... it's a cost of implementing good...

Remember when our governor declared that we were "extremists?" Many on the left consider our interest in firearms to be a mental illness in itself. Again, agree to exclude certain groups and the other side will seek to expand that group to include you.

Holy shit, am I on a gun-grabber forum? Have we learned nothing? Opening the door to gun control is akin to opening the floodgates. You guys aren't wrong, per se: some people are too stupid to have guns. But, give the government the right to make that distinction and pretty soon, everyone will...

I'm not a fan of the early seasons - bow, youngsters, etc. It's not about competition for me (I'm the world's least inspired, and possibly least successful, hunter).

Female cop kinda cute, but she's probably gaining a point or two from the uniform. She's useless at best as an actual cop... all I saw her doing was standing in the wrong spots and running around with her hands in the air like she saw a mouse. I didn't see her service weapon out at all...

I wonder what the woman was up to. I saw "retrieving mail from the residence," but then it says she drove up the driveway to turn around... so she was retrieving mail from a mailbox that was not hers? Is she a porch pirate? Not saying that shooting the vehicle of a porch pirate is a good idea...

I love how CNN is making the Texas thing front-page while completely ignoring the never-ending attempts of NY to do the same thing. We've had our redistricting thrown out by courts twice now, IIRC, and now they're pushing to do it again.

Overpriced, underwhelming. Just like what will come out of the things discussed in this thread.

He's saying that someone commented on a post of Stefanik's, not that she said it. There's a possibility it's true, but if so, it's the usual confusion: correlation is not causation. Homicide rates and crime rates in general have been dropping for decades. No one can point to any single law or...

You haven't been paying attention, sir. The Big Beautiful Bill removed silencers from the NFA.

I might know why. I worked at that Wegmans warehouse for a bit. I busted my ass stacking boxes on pallets for 8 hours a day, making $10/hr. Meanwhile, three senior guys stood at the end of the line shooting the shit. When my pallet was full, one of them would hop on a ride-on pallet jack, lift...

Maybe, but if so, $200k per charger? WTF... I suspect what they're doing government accounting tricks. Sure, it's "only" $78k per vehicle for the production contract, but we spent $200k per (projected) vehicle on R&D that we're now pretending isn't part of the total cost. Of course, now that...

Phew... $10B for 35,000 vehicles? That's almost $286k per vehicle. Also known as A COMPLETE RIPOFF.

Have to agree with many of the posts here. When you move from "comedy show for everyone" to "liberal propaganda hour," don't be surprised when half or more of your audience finds something better to do. That said, while I'm pretty sure that didn't help matters, the most likely cause here is the...

That's right up there with cruises on my "nope" list.

We should sue rape victims for spreading venereal disease, too!

A few thoughts: California, meh. They get what they voted for. I am not a proponent of this constant cycle of building in disaster-prone areas, then seeing them wiped out by a disaster, and rebuilding in the same place. At the very least, we need to prevent taxpayers - and insurance payers -...

Yup, same ol' Albany logic. Person kills another person with a gun, we must outlaw guns, never mind that murder was already illegal.

Seems pretty pointless. One, how would they know that it requires an external power supply? Two, you don't need an external power supply to make a ton of noise. I was into aftermarket systems when I was younger. My system registered 143.3 dB in a competition, powered by a stock alternator, and I...

Either your BIL isn't telling you the whole story, or he found the worst lawyer ever. My money is on the former.

No. They had no valid reason to pull him over in the first place.

He can't grill for shit. ...oh, we already knew that, too.

I think you have some of your facts mixed up. Refusing a breathalyzer can result in an automatic 1 year license suspension and $500 fine (first offense), and said refusal can be used as evidence against you in a DWI trial. It is not an automatic DWI.

You gotta adjust your phone's autocorrect settings or something. Seems like at least 50% of your posts have issues like this :ROFL:

By my rough calculations, it would be $20/year. But we all know that $20/customer/year won't be going back to ratepayers. It will go into the pockets of the companies. No way are they reducing the bills.

At the class my wife and I took to remove restrictions from our permits, she kept hitting the clip holding the target instead of the target itself. I was amused, the RSO was not. In her defense, she was shooting a snub-nose and the target was a fair bit away from her.

Jesus. That must have been horrible. Every time my old man woke from his morphine-induced stupor, he would ask for water. I can only imagine that it must have been 9 days of dreaming about dying of thirst.

Parents letting kids get away with poor muzzle control always drives me batty. Trust me on this, I will have no problem straightening out your kid if I catch them sweeping someone and you don't. Don't like it? IDGAF.

After watching my old man get starved/dehydrated to death for 9 days via "comfort care," I support legalized assisted suicide. Not disagreeing that there can/will be abuse, but no one should have to suffer like that. We give our pets better end-of-life care.

We don't need to subsidize electric vehicles to make them take hold. We need to get cheap electricity online and the infrastructure to deliver it in place. If your house electric bill dropped to $5/mo, it would not take anyone long to realize the massive savings they could realize by switching...

There was a lot of good to that show, but so much bad. I lost count of the number of times they were in a "desperate" situation at the end of one episode, then at the next episode, they remembered that there were only 10 dumb zombies on the other side of a fence and they could just stab them all...

lol... that's awesome

Make sure you have a winter's worth of dried and seasoned firewood to go along with that plan. It will be too late to harvest it when SHTF... no gas for chainsaws, splitters, tractors, and vehicles to move the wood around; plus competition and exposure for standing dead wood. Someone could...

In this case, I think it will be. This is the first time anyone with authority has directly told the sheriffs they are violating the law. It's one thing to do something you think might be legal, it's a whole different ballgame to do something the US AG has specifically told you is not. Their...

I've been fighting against PA sheriffs who refuse to accept non-resident LTCF applications for over a decade now. I'm guessing this letter will straighten a lot of PA sheriffs out. Great to see this issue finally get some attention... did not expect it from the federal government, but I'll take...

I was there that day! I tossed my gun safe out to you in hopes you could use it as a flotation device. It didn't work as expected, and I suffered a tragedy remarkably similar to your own.

I buy from an egg farm, where the eggs are still warm when I buy them. 1.5 months ago, we were paying ~$15/flat (30 eggs/flat). Last week I paid $5/flat. So the prices have come way down, but it may take a bit before that is reflected in grocery store prices.

My "driveway" is actually a dead-end public road with only my house on it. Long ago... like, before Google Maps... it was not a dead end, it went up the hill and connected to another road. But Google Maps still thinks it's not a dead end. Thankfully, there's not much traffic here apart from the...
