Heck, Obama signed the Affordable Care Act, which is horrible healthcare in its own right
Does that mean Obama is fair game now?

Interesting.
I have an obsidian 9 from rugged, and I use it with a pistol with normal height sights just fine.
It's obviously not as good as suppressor height sights, but if you keep both eyes open your brain will superimpose the sight picture of the right eye over the target picture from the left and will work pretty well.
At 50yds with a G26 I don't see too much degradation in my accuracy, maybe 15%
At closer distances it seems to be even less important.
I'm sure for low iron sights on a rifle it would be a lot more significant, but that's also a lot less common of a configuration.

Either or both of these sections probably apply. But if they made that assertion, there'd be more questions

Back when the CLEO sign-off was still a requirement for NFA registration AZ passed a law that required local LEOs to sign off for anyone who wasn't otherwise prohibited.

You can pretty much just use the top of the can at the muzzle end.
“Boston was charged with threats to conduct a mass sh**ting or act of terrorism.”
I read that as “mass shitting” the first time.

You could sight along the top like a ridge sight, and probably get good enough accuracy for most pistol needs "in the wild". But that's never going to be as accurate as a proper sight picture.
Plus, you should have both eyes open anyway for situational awareness.
Once you get used to it, it really works pretty well. You have your normal sight picture. It's just half coming from the left eye and half from the right.
It's a bit like using one of those "magic eye" random dot stereogram pictures that were popular a while back. But once you get used to it, it doesn't take any time at all to get the picture up.
You could try it with just a post-it note stuck on the front of your favorite pistol.

Unless there was a lot more than what was printed in that article, she should have a good lawsuit on her hands for the arrest.
To be an actual criminal threat it needs to be specific to both the time, and target.

Even though it was stupid for her to say, an arrest with a threat of jail time up to 15 years is completely absurd.

More people die because of the decisions of politicians than any other group. Are they open season now?
The man who shot the CEO, Luigi Mangione, wrote a lengthy explanation on why he shot Brian Thompson. In it, he explained his mother had fallen ill with a disease that left her in such extreme pain that her screaming kept Luigi up at night…
It’s rather haunting. But I think it’s important people know about this, so I’ll be posting Mangione’s words in full, so you may get a better idea of the “why” of things:
I’m a father myself. I have parents and siblings I love deeply. And I would absolutely be furious if I had to watch the people I love in this world suffer waiting for treatment they cannot afford, despite paying thousands of dollars a year in case of such emergencies. Every year 68,000 Americans die of preventable diseases and many of them are are denied life-saving medication or operation by Brian Thompson and other CEOs like him… Mr. Thompson had hundreds of thousands if not millions of “enemies”. He didn’t see them as people, though… just, numbers. And now he’s a statistic too.

Mr Thompson was a family man, with a wife and children that I'm sure he loved and was loved in return. He must have worked very hard to get to the position he had attained in that highly and tightly regulated business. Regulated by who" Why politicians of course! Where is the anger toward them, where is the anger for Obama for his part in this fiasco of health care by zip code. Fuck that back shooting murderous coward of a commie piece of shit and all the piece's of shit fools the elevate him as some kind of martyr.
You know where my GP practices medicine now? Mexico! Why? In his own words, because he can practice medicine! This conversation after he denied doing a procedure he had done before and had to refer me to a specialist due to government regulation, and that fucking specialist had to refer me to another specialist, not because he couldn't do the fucking, but because of government regulation!!!!!
But sheep got to be sheep and haters gotta hate with all their misplaced bile. Disgusting assholes!

Anyone notice the gun they were sure he used isn’t the gun they recovered and verified by casings? Seems like a pretty big jump.

Can anyone explain why this murder is so different than any of the other 1000's of murders in the US?
Why and how does this reach the Federal Murder level?

Luigi Mangione hit with federal charges, making him eligible for death penalty, as he arrives in New York
Federal authorities unsealed the complaint Thursday in the high-profile case, which will proceed in parallel with the New York case in which he’s facing 11-counts at the state level.

The only federal charge he should be given is for the un-taxed suppressor. I suppose because he committed a crime with a federally regulated item it makes the whole crime more heinous?Someone, anyone....

Because he plotted, planned, and crossed several state lines to commit the crime. Besides, like so many others, he may actually be brought to justice if tried federally. If tried in NYS, he’ll get Yankee tickets, a free cellphone, and given the key to the city.Someone, anyone....

Too many federal laws unconstitutionally usurping the rights of the states, usually resulting in a politically motivated federal show prosecution or is it persecution, which is a de facto Double Jeopardy, and I don't give a flying fuck about all the contrived legal bullshit arguments, its still Double Jeopardy!
If NY won't do the proper job then maybe enough voters will wake the fuck up and help get these filthy scoundrel's out of public service all together.

So, how is this Federal law? Crowing a State line makes it federal?
Plotting a crime makes it federal?

Planning and committing intrastate felonies can be taken over by the feds; so yes
Just digging into this..... Not arguing or sticking up for the suspected shooter...
Are you saying it is a Federal crime when a person leaves one State, goes to another and commits a crime?

It depends on the level of crime. Speeding across the border is not a federal crime. Speeding across three states being pursued by law enforcement after conducting a mass shooting can be. Planning a bombing, making the bomb, going to another state can become federal. Making it federal lessens the jurisdiction fights between states.
I just find it interesting that the Feds decided to get involved in this case....
Less than 1/10 of 1% of murders like this get charged at the federal level.
Gotta ask why now? Why this case? Because a wealthy was involved. Weird.
