Owning guns isn’t something that the government can “allow” or “disallow” as you wrote. Owning guns is a right. The difference in rights and privileges are that rights are inherent to man. Driving is a privilege. They can take your license. Being able to practice self-defense is a right. They can’t outlaw guns.

Robbed after a medical emergency?

You seem to have it pretty well figured out even going down to diagnosing many of the individual factors that answers  your own question.

I understand the frustration, but this article ignores two unfortunate points that, in addition to the knife, go along way toward exonerating the officer legally.

Lots of local areas have more strict gun laws than the federal standard (DC among them). There are innumerable stories of people flying or driving somewhere and getting in trouble for it.

The entire country needs gun reform.

Well, that’s because the Proud Boys are more accurately described as a right-wing male chauvinist organization whose membership has a large white supremacist segment, but that doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as easily.

This is an activist judge making a political ruling.

What a crock of shit. So all I have to do to avoid extradition now is pretend to be sad about the prospect of jail time? (as if everyone in prison isn’t already depressed and potentially suicidal).

Over 1,000 Chinese researchers and students have left since the Trump admin has started cracking down on Chinese espionage (one of his few good acts). Every week there is a story about another Chinese national stealing IP, Chinese “tourists” going past guard gates on military installations, Chinese college “students”…

I have the Eufy 2k indoor cam and it’s only okay. Mine doesn’t work very well with homekit and constantly gives me false notifications.

Tuition-free and debt-free seem to be the two terms.

She’s one of those people who are so genetically perfect that it makes you wonder what in the hell happened to yourself.

My grandpa’s 95 year old brother died this week of covid. WWII vet who served on the FDR aircraft carrier.

I didn’t word my initial reply well. I meant to say that his team alleges it and there is at least video of it with the third victim. I am very pro-gun, but would like to see this person face charges as I believe that he was the instigator rather than the victim.

And his defense alleges that the other guy was initiating an attack (alleges 1st victim had a gun and last a skateboard). Some courts have found similar situations to be a lawful use of force situation (Rittenhouse is trying to claim he was in fear for his life or serious injury).

You’re correct about SMS, of course. I was really just making the obvious lament about too many “standards”.

Lol. No one who is truly “pro-gun” calls a semi-automatic rifle an “autoloading” rifle. That term isn’t really used at all in common parlance as it groups together semi-automatic weapons, select-fire weapons and fully-automatic weapons all in one.

That’s not how this work. This kid is a criminal for many reasons, but that isn’t a chain of premeditation.

I am so tired of all of these proprietary messaging services (not to mention the 100 different versions Google has released alone).
