In fairness, “let’s see if this does something” is something a psychiatrist usually says with every new prescription.

Sometimes I think the “Royal” or “HM” stylings are the best remaining justifications for a monarchy. Here in the U.S. the equivalent would be the “National Zoological Society,” ho hum. Still, better than the “Trump Zoological Society.”
Meh, it sounds like a stupid law. I prefer the American approach under the 1st amendment. Obviously, the guy getting arrested is an asshole, but merely being an asshole should never be against the law. Otherwise, you end up with politicians deciding who the assholes are, and arresting them. Trump would love that…
So, Oregon could change this law at any time. As a blue state, I’m sure they could make this happen (i.e. carve out an exception for weapons sales).
I know how it happens, you go to court and you get an order from the judge. The opposing party usually isn’t there for the TRO hearing so the usual due process requirements of notice and opportunity for a hearing aren’t always satisfied.
I can imagine that kind of hatred because I have it for Trump. I take comfort in the fact that I (in my 40s) and Obama (in his 50s) will likely live to see Trump’s damning obituary and also live to see, in the decades thereafter, a worldwide consensus of ignominy for Trump.
I don’t even know that the “without due process” think is about. It is already possible, under US law, to suspend due process temporarily is the circumstances call for urgent action to prevent irreparable harm. For example, you can get a TRO (temporary restraining order) to, say, have the sheriff seize a bulldozer if…
I respect your optimism about finding a common ground, especially with outdoorsmanship. It’s so easy to be clannish when we’re commenting on our favorite web sites.
I’m all for inclusiveness, but the red staters elected a fucking twitter troll as president. And the red staters are hesitating to enact even the most rudimentary gun control, like raising the gun purchase age to 21 or expanding background checks. We have to vote these redneck chuckleheads out of office posthaste.…
Yes, well, I did qualify it as a pee bottle for snow camping. If you have to put on crampons to go outside, you’re going to pee in a bottle. With a secure lid.
It’s pronounced like this: “That’s not even a word.”
I mostly agree with you — as I mentioned in another reply, I do all of the things on my list except for the hunting part. But if you go to, say, Cabela’s, it’s all about the hunting, and you should not need a semi-automatic assault rifle for deer hunting. As a strong proponent of gun control, I’m all for consumer…
As a liberal, I also do everything on the list except for the hunting part. And I don’t need to be completely segregated from my rightward friends when I am shopping for outdoor gear, although it’s usually the case that the activities I listed above do need to happen in different places (e.g. usually you don’t have…
I see Gerber on the exhibitor list, they make knives and multi-tools.
Hey, you need a pee bottle when you’re snow camping, trust me, you don’t want to get all geared up just to leave the tent for a tinkle.
There’s liberal outdoor recreation and then there’s conservative outdoor recreation. Let’s make a little chart, shall we
Name them, please.
My Camelbak is now going to be repurposed as my snow camping pee bottle.
