Public dollars going to religious institutions as the result of private choice is not unconstitutional. This has been litigated in various forms time and again with the same results, as noted by C.J. Roberts in this very case. Not only that, but it's noted that as long as a private school identified itself to the state as "non-sectarian," there was little scrutiny applied to that label. Which means that the entire argument for excluding sectarian schools from the choices available to parents for their tuition assistance payments is arbitrary and capricious.

Reagan is a PPP golden boy but ultimately is whitewashed because of the inevitable end of the Soviet threat and having been shot. He’s as guilty as anyone for the current status of China on the world stage.

Nixon, for all his paranoia, was probably our last good president.

Forget the suburbs, every NYPD kid I've talked to with less than five years on is taking at least one interview with a department in Florida. Half the chiefs and sheriffs down there are New York guys. NYPD officers in good standing don't have to go to academy at all, just three weeks of paid classroom time learning Florida law. Signing bonuses and other perks. Some of those departments offer lateral officers $80k out of the gate.

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" I yell as I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads!” The grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

lol I was gonna say I’m gonna wait on this one until the feds have to provide discovery.

Good afternoon. I read your post.

Straw purchases are already illegal. Falsified answer on your 4473 is a prosecutable offense. Dude you posted a thread from a blue check that has no details in it. What did you expect?

As to the first, maybe start by actually prosecuting criminals in urban areas. When DAs and city executives essentially wage a proxy war against their own citizens via DPs and early releases your proposal to criminalize some of those citizens for arming themselves is going to go over like a lead balloon. As to the second, have you considered that you’re fretting about the wrong thing? Mass shootings of the kind in buffalo and uvalde represent an extremely small percentage of gun homicides. Most gun homicides involve only one victim and are usually committed via a handgun in the inner city. Instituting robust anti-crime policies such as stop-and-frisk in such areas is a proven way to get illegal guns off the streets.

Maybe so. But the point remains: you need to prop up a legal framework that doesn't already exist. You're talking about turning victims of crime into criminals based on what happens with the fruits of their victimization. This flies in the face of our legal tradition. I understand and agree that people need to be responsible about how they store their firearms, but we don't penalize people who are victims of theft of other things they were irresponsible with. It's nice that I prioritize and can afford a $5,000+ safe, but there are folks out there who don't have those options. They opt for a cabinet that locks, basically keeping guns out of the hands of their kids so no terrible accidents happen. But these cabinets won't stop a thief who wants to steal guns. Which brings us back around, again, to the idea that this is just another way to price people out of their rights.

I haven’t defended anything. But feds aren’t cops. Not sure why I’m supposed to care about what the vibrant community of the district has to say about it.

No I don’t. Feds aren’t cops. This isn’t a difficult concept.

You may note that there are a couple exceptions to the basement safe. One of these is in a quick-access safe on my nightstand. And yes, I hunt and I shoot in local competitions. Our legal system hinges on several common-law holdovers that would be upended if we starting pinning crimes on people who are actually victims. Let's take your logic all the way to the end here and (if you feel it necessary) walk back to a point that you think is reasonable. Say a police officer gets the ***** kicked out of him on the street and his duty gun is stolen and then used to murder more cops. Should that officer be prosecuted? Does there need to be negligence? Or maybe recklessness? If both involve criminal culpability then how do you structure the penalties for each? Even the toughest state in the union on this matter (Hawaii) absolves you from liability as long as you report the theft. This seems less like a "common-sense" measure and more of a "find more ways to punish gun owners of lesser means simply for the audacity to exercise their rights."

With a couple exceptions, every gun of mine is locked in a safe that is bolted into the concrete floor in my basement. If some enterprising thief manages to cut it out of the floor and haul it out of my house, I should be responsible for whatever happens with those guns? lol go ***** yourself

What, you don’t like drugs?

Do you think CoQ is gobbled, smoked, or taken as a suppository?

I said what I said.

Steroids

It's a drug for some of these guys.

Duh nuh nuh nuh Duh nuh nuh nuh... GUN MAN!

I think this less likely to go the COVID direction and more in the AIDS direction. Since monkeypox appears to discriminate towards alphabetsexuals, we'll pour in billions of dollars in finding a way for such folks to sodomize each other indiscriminately with zero effect on their life expectancy.

While the FBI combs through the hotel records of every Marriott property in the DMV, reviews thousands of hours of footage from every camera in DC, and parses through millions of credit card transactions to identify and locate every ####### who pissed in a Capitol urinal without permission so they can toss them in a DC jail for months so they can plead guilty to trespassing, we still mysteriously have zero leads on the guy who planted pipe bombs at the same location a day earlier. Feds aren't cops.

Friend/enemy dichotomy at work.

Marino might be the best passer to ever play the game. At this point it's between him and Rodgers. Josh Allen could blow them both away at his current trajectory.
