You summarized the entirety of what I was going to say in your ending sentence ;)

Could, and then they’d just appeal until they either found a judge who would agree with them or ended up before the Supreme Court. It’s been their strategy so far with these laws.

Because it’s expensive and takes forever to get the Supreme Court to hear anything. And never guaranteed.

That’s the part that leaves my jaw on the floor.

Well, you have to keep in mind the difference in focus. A hunting course is, primarily, focused on stopping hunting accidents, which are mostly people accidentally shooting each other.

You mean, like a number of actors and military-themed Halloween costumes? Or even a number of cosplay costumes?

I’m not.

Hitler didn’t file for bankruptcy multiple times, was charismatic and likeable, had some redeeming qualities if you could ignore his insanity, may have had a legitimate mental disorder, showed some honor to a limited few (not a lot of honor, though), and had survival instincts that bordered on the supernatural.

CCW courses are of... varying quality, to put it mildly. In a better world, they wouldn’t be. Part of the problem is that armed security guards are included among the training options for a handgun permit, and to be blunt... most of those are utter shit compared to the police course, and the police course is pretty…

Tennessee is a concealed carry state. And, usually, crimes of extreme passion like this are carried out with whatever is convenient... usually, that means a firearm only if they would normally carry it.

Thanks. Launching artillery strike now.

Experimental android. One of the prototypes for Project Kardashian.

Yet if it were broken any more times, it would be an arms embargo.

Blowing shit up and making things that shouldn’t melt actually melt is part of what we do. Managing to deep-fry items that shouldn’t be physically possible to deep-fry is just an extension of that.

Because they’re borrowing the playbook from a lot of early anti-rape education, which focused (and, to a heavy degree, still focuses) entirely on the idea of men raping women.

Actually, I’m really good at my job. You don’t get to the position I’m in if you suck at it.

Every time you pick up a phone to call the cops, you’re asking one of those volunteers to come and deal with whatever is going on. If you don’t want to ask cops to do anything, don’t call 911. Handle the situation yourself.

A note for those who have a problem with this: Keep in mind what police do. It’s our job to see humanity at its worst.

There are a lot of improvements that need to be made in the area of how pregnant inmates are treated.

Speaking from personal experience with school buses that had seatbelts? The ones without are less dangerous.
