That’s not what I think he’s saying. He’s implying the law would consider loaning a gun to a friend to be a firearm transfer that would require the parties to get a background check done in order to legally loan the gun.

So ... the people of Iceland are making his dreams come true?

I kind of feel bad for this kid ... he has to know his entire family sucks.

And a handful of sentences later, that same entry mentions the group was disbanded in 1933.

I don’t think it’s fair to blame Splinter for, like, two jackasses in the comments.

That’s not even necessarily true though. Depends on way to many factors to say with any certainty at all.

I have borrowed a buddy’s .45 to go out in the woods a couple of times. In the areas closer to town, my little .32 noisemaker is perfect to scare off anything that might pop up ... but once you get out far enough, it’s actually kind of nice to have a gun with stopping power. And, personally, I don’t really *want* to…

Phillip Lee sucks, and he joined the bad opposition party, the Liberal Democrats, rather than Labour, but still.

Cops are openly going for real-time access to private cameras. The DHS is providing grants to build out the infrastructure for police forces to monitor a range of private digital video stream sources.

Really?

Yeah. It’s nice to live in a first-world democracy.

Yeah. But those citizens are still proportionally concentrated ... *into states*. What do you think the fundamental difference is between a crapton of individual voters in a state and a crapton of EC votes in that state? There really isn’t one.

Oh, damn.

Hmmm. Leaving aside that I disagree with a lot of folks on the EC (both in terms of it being beneficial and in terms of *that* really being the thing to blame for Trump’s win) .. I’m really questioning the benefit of seriously arguing over it right now. At this point in time.

Wait. What? That just isn’t even remotely true. Hell, over in the UK (and several other parliamentary democracies), voters don’t even have a bit of say over who their chief executive is going to be. Like, at all.

Just to clarify ... eliminating the EC would still result in an inordinate amount of importance placed on 6-7 states. It just *might* make a different 6-7 states more likely to hold the position. If that is inherently undemocratic ... getting rid of the EC isn’t going to do anything but maybe make it worse.

If our constitutional system was based on the first definition from Google .... you might have a point.

“This is our Counrty, not theirs.”

Aw, man. Gross. Probably true ... but still gross.

So, Trump and Kanye have even more in common to bond over now?
