That's very true but think of it like this, a state charge for, as an example, selling 3 or 4 stolen firearms in CA if you're a C or D on the grid you'd serve around 24-36 months tops. If it was Federal you'd serve 13 or 14 years (in the 90s, as an example, the Feds would pick up nearly all weapons charges over 3…

Ya I Googled it, wasn't sure of the exact amount but I was pretty sure it was closer to 10 seconds than a minute.

I was thinking the overwhelming number of hot shells bound to cover you all over (1,500 a minute) would make it difficult to keep firing.

I believe the xm214 tops out at 1,500 rounds so that's nowhere near a minute of fire time. The fire rate is 10,000 rounds/minute (although you can reduce the fire rate but that defeats the whole purpose of the gun, you'd only want to do that if its your mounted gun and you're trying to make it last, I see no reason to…

Just thought I'd add oftentimes people will plead guilty to state/local charges (in task forces with state/local/county/fed law enforcement working together) without even getting a deal and take maximum sentences to avoid being tried in Federal court just because you'll serve an extra 3rd or more time if you go to…

Federal prison has a mandatory 85% unlike state prisons where they slide based on current population upon arrival (anywhere from 20-50% early release). Also with Federal prison that 15% good time is MUCH harder to keep and make it through even on just a couple of years sentence let alone a 5+ year sentence where…

OK, I missed your point then but I think you may have missed my point too. I'm talking about, as the article was, a car that can get the substantially similar waiver from the manufacturer because its built to US and CA specs as its cheaper that way so its the same car. Those aren't going to need modifications.…

What year is your Saab? Post 2011 (until they disappeared shortly after) Canada got European versions imported handled by IFS who was also Saabs importer for the Middle East and Europe at the time, not SCNA who handled the US versions.

They would be older than 25 years then though so still doesn't matter? I've had it on all my cars and my first two are pre-1990.

Have you ever been to Canada? All the major car companies vehicles have both KPH and MPH not only in Canada but I believe in the US as well (someone in the US can confirm that part?). They are already substantially similar, as in really about the same exact thing, can you give an example of where they differ (because…

Vast parts of the US don't have taxis, basically anywhere rural.

None taken.

So they designed this special tool and installed it in a bathroom so that when they are caught and the NFL reviews security tapes they are able to say, "he was only in there for 90 seconds, couldn't have had the time" when in fact they were thinking ahead with their super fast ball deflater machine for just this…

No man who is a ball boy for a living washes his hands after peeing. I say this as a man on a fairly equal professional level who does not wash his hands after peeing.

Ya, again it was not my fault I had zero knowledge of anything. It ended up he got involved with some guys that were stealing or scamming iphones (when they first came out) and shipping them out of state. Apparently large amounts of them, never really did understand what exactly/how exactly they were doing it. And my…

Yes. My roomate at the time (I was only maybe 25) got mixed up with something. At one point the lead agent openly admitted to me that not only did they have no evidence that I even had any knowledge about anything but he knew/believed that I had absolutely nothing to do with it, but that running on asset forfeiture on…

Too many people have this attitude and its a huge part of the problem. I'll admit I had about the same views on this sort of stuff (I'm not a drug trafficker, what do I care?) until I was a victim of a Federal civil asset forfeiture even though I was never charged with a crime (in fact one agent readily admitted to me…

I don't understand how someone over the age of 10 can have a passionate feeling about this.

How did I miss the actual story here about more teams in the playoffs (what this is implying)? Details on that please? Is it going to be runner up from each division or like 4 more wild card teams or what? That's much more interesting than TV days of the week IMO.

I'm down with all rants that aren't directed at me. Keep it up Miko!
