One Christmas, my neighbor dropped off a bag of gifts for the family. Included within were peanut butter balls with oats and honey and whatnot. They were delicious! I ate them all! The next year, she dropped another bag off and mentioned to my daughter that she included the same peanut butter...

Snowden is a true patriot who walks the walk. I hope he does get a pardon.

I'm just guessing here, but I would think people in their positions are involved with occasional prosecutions that involve classified material. Think along the lines of homeland security stuff relating to NYC. Keep in mind that there is a TON of stuff that is classified that you wouldn't think...

Well, consider the reality of it, then. If courts somehow decided that the 2A covered nukes (which they absolutely, positively, would never do), then the government could no longer prevent us from obtaining the materials and equipment to build them. Some number of people would build them, and...

I disagree. "Arms," IMO, refer to "weapons commonly carried by a soldier of his time." So, today, that would include rifles, pistols, shotguns, machine guns, RPGs, and grenades. It would cover tracers, armor-piercing, incendiary, hollow point, and FMJ ammo. It might extend to things like drones...

I highly recommend the AZ permit. It's inexpensive, easy to obtain and renew, and has great coverage. AZ training requirements are very easy to meet and not state-specific: Florida training requirements are similar - basically any NRA course, hunter safety course, or military training. The...

Tell you what. Copy and paste his exact words, and post them here as your own. You won't, because you know there's a good chance that you'd find yourself in hot water. Why should Chuck be any different?

The Burdick decision stated that a pardon carries "an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it" in the court's dictum for the case. While that sounds like it supports the interpretation of the scholars you mention, we have to pick apart the definitions of the words to really...

You are correct that a pardon need not be accepted, and is not considered an admission of guilt. The two guys on death row are fighting the pardons in court. They would not need to do so if they could simply refuse to accept them.

Biden pardoned him, so probably no point.

Yup, came here to say this. Don't want to accept your illegal immigrants back? Air drop 'em.

I informed that I was carrying twice in NY, once in a backwoods rural area and once in Binghamton. Both times, the LEOs just kinda shrugged.

lol. It's one thing to take the bait, it's another to make a thread to advertise that you swallowed it hook, line, and sinker :ROFL:

They don't need to use a cell phone for social purposes, but I think there are plenty of very legitimate reasons for kids to have access to their phones in school - emergencies being one. I realize there are exceptions for emergencies here, but the exceptions won't matter if the phones are...

Works for me.

Excellent counter. I'm guessing his parents were in the country legally, though. While I suspect that may make no difference, that's still a question that is worth asking. We'll find out soon enough.

I think the solution is to have the existing text interpreted by the final authority before running about trying to change it. The process to do that would be as follows: 1. State your interpretation and intent to enforce accordingly 2. Have those with different interpretations sue you 3. Bring...

What you are describing are the limits of full diplomatic immunity. But, they could, and would, be pushed further in certain circumstances. Change your example from the 1PP secretary to POTUS. There is no reality in which the US would send someone back home in that case if the diplomat's...

Holy crap. Trump was on fire today. I've never seen so much done so quickly by any president. I'm blown away. The next four years are going to be astounding.

Sure it is, I highlighted it in the text you quoted: That said, I recognize that you're probably saying that the interpretation I posted is not in the text. Yes, that's kind of how law works. It gets written, then it gets interpreted. What does "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" mean...

Okay, that makes sense. I'm certainly not up to speed on the specifics of immigration law. So what about the citizen from Texas, then? I mean, yeah, I assume there's more to the story here. Just seems odd that nothing has been mentioned.

What laws were broken to justify this seizure? I searched around and couldn't find anything stating any violations of the law. Asylum seekers can possess ammunition in AZ, right? Certainly US citizens can (one of the people is a citizen from TX).

It most certainly has a second condition that is specified by an "and": That phrase excludes foreign diplomats, foreign armies, native tribes, children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign states born in the US. Remember that the original purpose of the 14th amendment was...

Nuke power tech has come a long way. There are reactor designs out there that can't melt down - thorium reactors are the go-to example, IIRC. Nuclear power really is the only viable option for us, though it seems very difficult to achieve. We would need about 10,000 reactors, which take an...

As it turns out, DEI hiring isn't the best practice. For your mayors or your firefighters, or anything else for that matter.

Nah, they want the Mexican firefighters because they'll stick around and vote Democrat.

On camera, while smoking a blunt...

Crack was specifically outlawed in 1986, though it was non-specifically outlawed when cocaine was prohibited in 1914. So, prior to 1914, cocaine (and crack, which hadn't really been invented/popularized) was legal. Fentanyl was scheduled in 1970. I don't think this really changes your...

Might see them switch over and put the conservative party in power. Pierre Poilievre is quite an impressive politician. His public speaking/debate/interview skills are right up there with those of JD Vance.

Sounds a lot like car rental taxes. Around 25%+ in this state nowadays.

My mother went to that mall on the same day, in the morning before it was shut down. She was there to return some jewelry, but the store was dark. She waited around to see if they would open, and eventually a handful of guys in suits showed up, opened the gate, went in, and brought out the...

As spat said, arrest, charge, try. But there's more than that: the prisoner should not have had the opportunity for multiple attacks. One and done. From then on, locked in a cell, only transported fully bound, etc. I understand the point that you are getting at here, that the legal avenues are...

Sort of. Most aerospace engineers (or engineers in general really) start work after their undergrad, then have their employer pay for their graduate degree. That said, there may be a bit of a blip in the system right now due to COVID - a lot of kids graduating during that time opted to jump...

I thought that'd fit into the "two or more races" category (which is listed). Any way you put it, suspicious numbers.

Interesting idea. I'm not a fan of charging parents for the behaviors of their children, as most kids do stupid shit at some point or another no matter how well they were raised. But at the same time, if we're charging parents of mass shooters, maybe we should look into charging parents of kids...

100%. What they were armed with, or even if they were unarmed, makes no difference IMO. I'm just curious. I'm guessing bats/clubs/etc.

There's a lot that doesn't make sense there, though I'm sure with some context it might. For example, it tallies up to 136%, which is obviously not possible. The last two entries are really confusing. They can't be saying that 93% of new jobs went to non-binaries. Maybe it's a tally of males...

I wonder what they were armed with. Not that it matters... even if they were unarmed, if the story is accurate, I support the victim's actions.

One medical professional who watched the videos suggested they might have broken his neck when they picked up up by the neck/collar (after the beating), causing near-immediate paralysis, including respiratory paralysis. I certainly noticed that he was unusually limp the second they picked him...

Your idea would bring us to 56 states, so 7 rows of 8 stars. But, as mentioned, no way would liberals go for this. Their influence at the federal level would be demolished. NY currently has 28 electoral votes that all go blue every time. If we split the state, it'd be 15 for red, 15 for blue...

Wait, are you saying you don't wear tight short dresses when working construction?

I read this and thought, "they're banning cookies, now?" :ROFL:

Some party in upstate was a lot more boring than planned.

I love the idea.

Sorry you have to move back here. It'll be good to have another pro-gun person in the state, but at such a cost to you...

Yes and no. Using the OP's link, if we bought $3k work of that bulk package, it'd work out to 1248 meals, or about 14 months of meals for one person. Giving a thumb-in-the-wind estimate, I'd bet the break-even price of DIY vs buying freeze-dried food is right around the point where you want to...

Yeah, whomever that guy was, his results looked amazing. I really wanted to get into it as well, but the high cost of entry turned me away.

Couple of ways to look at it. Obviously sucks that you had to sell guns. But the first thought that came to my mind was when my wife was doing home visits for inner city schools. All these people on many forms of welfare, all of them with TVs bigger than mine, cell phones newer than mine, etc...

More PA counties breaking the law without consequence.

I didn't mean in relation to supporting the guns, I meant in relation to security. The best lock in the world is useless if a robber can just kool-aid his way into your gun room.
