Indeed, the problem with Jeopardy would be solved by making the game not Jeopardy.

I know opinions vary, but as a viewer I do prefer it when contestants go through one category at a time. I don’t have a problem with the “Forrest bounce”, as it’s within the rules.

Is Pete Davidson just three kids in that tracksuit standing on each other’s shoulders?

American gun “culture” is a mental illness.

This whole article reminded me of the movie “Thank You for Smoking” when all the lawyers for the worst lobby groups in the country, sat around a table drinking, arguing about whose product they represent kill the most people.

Still a resident here…and you’re still right. 

former resident. I earned it.

The issue with gun laws in the US are that UK style supply side regulation is anathema to Republicans, and UK style sentencing for illegal possession (5 years for adults, 3 years for 16-17 year olds) is anathema to Democrats.

Shipping only works at scale. If the authorities nab the few shady scrap yards buying stolen CCs, then they’ve solved the problem.

That’s what I thought at first too, then I remembered that boats are an awful handy way to ship contraband to places that don’t give a crap about our laws. It’s also extremely unlikely that there is a lot if any metal processing going on in Hawaii, especially the illegal stuff, so all the stolen cats are probably…

I feel like you’d have to get every state to do this to make it work. Like, Illinois can have the toughest gun laws in the country but if right across the border is Indiana, where gun laws are “wut we don’t care”, it doesn’t matter. Or like polution, where Wisconsin can try and be tough on people dumping in lake…

Killing people over a few hundred bucks is stupid and barbaric actually

You are an actual psychopath or you are doing a bit.

It wouldn’t stamp out illegal immigration so much as force businesses to get behind immigration reform since many of them effectively depend on illegal immigration for labor.

Statistically you’re more likely to eat your own gun than protect your car from a crackhead. Good luck with the odds!

Right, but if ALL the states adopted similar laws/regs.. and enforced them universally.. then it would have a similar net effect.

The problem in the US has always been its really 50 mini “kingdoms” rather than one truly cohesive country.. Because SOO many things would be better when pushed at the federal level.. but…

Awww, ain’t that cute.

To be pedantic: A collection of 137 islands, and yeah, that probably does help a lot. But I can’t imagine this sort of law would face serious opposition in any of the other 49 states, and regional clusters will start to grow as states start passing similar bills.

The stolen cats aren’t being resold as replacement cats.

The value is from the platinum and other elements inside them.
