  1. Well OK, but what are we talking about here? If a person in New Jersey takes his lever gun in a locked case into a motel in Massachusetts it seems highly unlikely to cause a problem. Particularly since non-residents hunt in Massachusetts and NY for Deer and Bear regularly and legally. again, not arguing just trying to understand what is the reality of enforcement.
  2. Sure but what’s meaningful? I’m not trying to be combative, I’m just trying to ground the legal risk in scenarios where local law enforcement would reasonably get involved.
  3. I’m not in a position to give advice, but It’s hard to imagine a realistic scenario in any state in the continental US where passing though with a properly secured 6+1 lever action rifle causes a legal problem.
  4. Sometimes We The People need to get what We vote for. This is one of those times, and as Mencken would say, We are going to get it good and hard.
  5. That’s not new. Have you ever seen political ads from the late 50’s-early 60’s?
  6. Guy a row ahead of me flying with a teenage boy, presumably his son or perhaps towel boy: “Only drink single malt Scotch or single barrel bourbon. That’s the good stuff.” I am so thankful these people exist and that the liquor industry produces products to separate them from their money, so that bottlers and distillers can afford to produce an abundance of excellent and widely available products for the rest of us.
  7. I’ll save my thoughts on that for another thread, but the bottom line is that I don’t think the result of the election Tuesday says much of anything about Christians and their understanding of Christ. It says a lot about cognitive dissonance, low calorie media diets, and the primacy of personal experience over information.
  8. I don’t think they are dominant. I think they are simply loud and freely mix the belongings of God with those of Caesar. I don’t think the rest presume to know the will of God or have leave to be so bold. @Kyrie Eleison what do you think.
  9. Millions of people. Most of the practicing members of Christ’s church and even more of the non-Christian Christ admirers (ie humanist types and virtually all Muslims) are followers, believers, or at least admirers of a Jesus Christ that is the prince of peace and the Jesus of the Beatitudes, not the Jesus who validates their pride and prejudice. Because they are so loud and insistent we tend to forget that the angrier and more political flavors of nondenominational fundamentalist Christian Americans aren’t very representative of any other Christians. They are a distinct and pretty divergent minority.
  10. Agree with all this. And in my opinion public weed smoking is just as trashy and annoying as boozing in public places. I don’t think we need laws against either, generally, but I’m a big believer in cultural disapprobation as the best tool to control both- similar to what happened with cigarettes. Banning it inside bars was the last step, not the first, and in the transition it got kick-ass patios built. Laws reflect culture, not the other way around and when they are out of sync, culture wins 100% of the time.
  11. You’re a good man, Pancho
  12. This is a very good post
  13. Is this the what went wrong thread? Jamie Harrison and party organization are just part of the problem.
  14. Less true. Women have more more and better social structures.
  15. If Harris wins, there will be a price paid. So about those exit polls - how's Harris doing with people whose top issue is kids in our military getting transgendered at the junior high and put into womens pro soccer?
  16. I can't even believe this discourse is happening at this moment, and I'm not going to post on this further but the Democrats are not nearly as leftist at they were in the 80s. They are only more progressive on sexual morality. Meanwhile, the GOP has gone from a pro-business party of social conservatives to an pro-inflation, pro-debt insurgent outlier party that nominated a convicted felon who led an attack on the United States Capital in pursuit oif stopping congress from performing ministerial duties under the constitution. If you would like to have a "both sides" thread, my suggestion would be to start one.
  17. Uh, I’d like to revise and extend my remarks
  18. Incredibly unlikely, but that's a topic for another thread.
  19. A very interesting anecdote from Isaac Saul (who I like a lot and subscribe to his newsletter). c/p for the non twitter users: Isaac Saul @Ike_Saul Yesterday I interviewed Ken Block, a data guy who the Trump camp hired to investigate voter fraud in 2020 (he couldn't prove any of their claims, and wrote a whole book about the experience called "Disproven") Anyway, Ken stopped me before we ended the podcast and said, "don't you want to hear my prediction?" I was like, oh, yeah, I actually do. He said the following: From 2016 to 2020, Trump lost ground among Republican voters in most of the biggest counties in the battlegrounds. He directed me to pages in his book (which I had at my desk) to look at the charts from places like Georgia. He said: In the last 4 years, he's done nothing to win them back. In fact, he's probably lost *more* of them, as evidenced by the strength Haley had even after she dropped out of the primary. His take was that Trump was going to lose because of these voters and that it might not be close - and any marginal gains with black/hispanic voters wouldn't be enough to offset it. Ken's a pretty level-headed guy, and great with the data, and has been involved in various ways in a lot of political campaigns. I'm not sure what to make of it. But I do think it is an analysis that has been largely absent the last few months, and could prove prescient in the next 24 hours.
  20. Jokes aside, I'm legit worried for that guy's safety should Trump lose.
  21. Not worried, just looking for context, thanks
