An AC->DC converter is also a rectifier; but the use of “converter” signifies that it’s an active component rather than a diode bridge. Typically industrial converters include power factor correction, harmonic filtering, etc. They do this by using fancy software and an IGBT bridge instead of some diodes and a big…

Ok, it is a craven political move; and worse, it’s wrong. The PLCAA was passed because several anti-gun groups were actively attempting to bankrupt gunmakers with lawsuits over legal actions. The PLCAA specifically says that if they commit illegal or negligent acts, there is no immunity.

Uhh, men usually get *longer* sentences than women. This is shocking because the sentence was actually comparable to what a man would get.

So hand powered printing presses and non-amplified speech, as well? And your car doesn’t count under the 4th amendment; plus that pesky 3rd only said no quartering soldiers, how about airmen?

They do; if you’re a dealer (ie: in the business, doing it for a profit, not Jim-Bob selling his old rifle to buy a new one), you *must* run a background check on any sale to a non-FFL holder (anyone not a dealer or licensed collector). This applies no matter the venue, your shop, their home, gun show, dog show,…

A double action revolver is not meaningfully different in rate of fire (until a reload) from a semi-auto pistol, as both fire as quickly as the shooter pulls the trigger.

Uh, no, most revolvers (including nearly every common police variant in the last 70 years) are double action, ie: do not require you to cock the hammer every time. He’s correct, you’re not.

About 70 years ago. Hell, the US army moved to a semi-auto pistol in *1911*, and a semi-auto rifle in ~1938. It’s not new, it’s not remarkable (hell, the revolvers most police carried are effectively “semi-auto” because they’re double action, and thus fire as fast as you pull the trigger).

The latest production…

It’s not directly the gun laws (crime is largely a factor of economic and social ills, far moreso than gun laws though they have effects); but a large part of the issue is that our gun laws are not “too lax” or “too strict”, they’re “too badly designed”. Many were outright not designed to provide meaningful crime…

Yes, it’s 100% illegal to do that in CA. Doesn’t matter the relationship, all transfers go through FFLs.

We all know that won’t happen. Sadly. Joe Biden said it himself: “we simply don’t have the time or manpower to prosecute everybody who lies on a form”.
