Yes, it's an actual class lecture so it's long. It's also quite good and worth watching, seriously, even/especially for a law-abiding citizen.

seems to explain pretty darn good, and it's from both a current Cop and a Lawyer

"Monday, Tuesday, 30% chance of those days happening. Watch out for the apocalypse." Brilliant. Just brilliant.

You know he was a satirist, right? And that his most famous work is actually a knock against the ruling family that had him exiled.

no he wasn't he was painted that way by generations of conservatives who had their hand in with the kings and deputies of the old world, he was a genius and probably centuries ahead of his time.

Yeah, that's what they said about the insurgents in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan. Savages with rocks! A decade and vast amounts of money and corpses later...

Heller, in his comments, seems to say there's no either-or-culprit in the debate: "We should not allow the government to make attempts to reduce the quality of our life to the lowest common denominator because somebody can’t behave themselves with a game or toy," he said.

A populace outfitted only with small arms could never stand up to the full might of the US military. That's why we so decisively won the wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.

The first amendment only has power because of the second amendment. If you think that a 9mm is useless against military hardware, then I got some bad news for you: words are even less powerful.

It's like concussion prevention in a Madden game.

You understand that the vast majority of homicides in the us are by inner city gangs right? If all of the homicides just in inner city Detroit, Chicago, Washington DC, and New York City (all places with the strictest gun control in the us) the homicide rate of the us falls to one of the lowest in the world. The…

Reading Heinlein doesn't promote empathy? Who would have guessed that? I mean, besides anyone who's ever read Heinlein ever.

I like this idea, but i am often confronted with a "I gotta take this" call, as I'm on call 24/7. When shit breaks, I fix it. It is unfortunate that I have to interrupt our friendly drink because work calls, but we do what we must because we can.

In the same vein, this seldom fails to amaze me:

Gah! Beat me to it. That is one of my favorite bits from West Wing.

Holy crap—is that George Liquor from the banned Ren and Stimpy Man's Best Friend episode? That's an awesomely arcane costume for 12013.

"If you aren't doing anything wrong"
A big problem with this is that law enforcement isn't out to clear you of suspicion. When detectives are on a fishing expedition, the more data they have the more coincidences they can pull together to make a plausible case against you. Maybe you went on a blind date with the cousin…

Maxpedition is the place you should search for ... anything bag related. I convinced my wife to purchase a Jumbo Versipack to use as the diaperbag.

I've been using this tactical bag for close to a year, and it has both practical and aesthetic pros if, like me, you're not into the metrosexual look but want something smaller than a gym bag that you can carry on the train or throw in the car on the way to work. I've had compliments from ex-military, cops, and…
