It banned the most common rifle sold today for ten years

This is the absolute truth

Do they work or do they exist? They work as well as new laws that don't change anything but take away due process will work. What does the Second Amendment mean? And what gun control laws have been struck down by the courts? We already had a federal "assault weapon" and "large capacity magazine" ban. We won't have that again? As for ammunition, California and Seattle and Illinois all tax it heavily. No court has overturned those laws on Second Amendment grounds. San Francisco makes you lock your gun in your safe or physically carry it on your body (meaning you can't have it ready to use unless it's in a holster on your jammies), and does not allow you to possess common hollow-point defensive ammunition. No court has overturned these laws. Many states ban so-called assault weapons and LCMs. Only the Fourth Circuit overturned such a Maryland law, and was quickly reversed en banc. Many states essentially ban carry outside the home, and only the DC Circuit has overturned such a law (so if you live in DC, maybe you can get a permit, but if you live in Prince George's County, tough shit forget it). The Supreme Court has not taken any of these meaningful cases. People are not crazy to think that they should buy guns and ammo now if they want them when they are told that the government is coming and will outlaw the ammo, guns, and magazines everybody wants, or will tax them heavily, and the protection from the courts is scant, at best.

They're just illustrations of the what the specific details of a universal background check requirement or red flag law will actually require. "Universal" background checks mean that you have to conduct a federal background check, at least through NICS (although several states like CA and MD have their own state-wide background check database as well) for every firearm transfer you conduct. Not sale. Transfer. That's what "universal" means. If you wanted to modify it to be a background check for every sale of a firearm, then you may in fact get closer to the bipartisan support the polls indicate. Red flag laws or extreme risk protective orders are usually granted ex parte and then return of the firearms afterwards requires action by the respondent, even if the order is terminated or expires. So the petition is filed, the judge decides a prima facie case supporting the order has been made (i.e. "she said he said he would kill her"), no contrary evidence is reviewed (the respondent is not even notified of the filing). The cops serve the order on the respondent and take his guns at the same time. Then he has a hearing of some sort a week or more later and hopes he wins then. The burden of proof on the petitioner will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For me, disarming somebody, or taking their personal property, without predeprivation due process of law is a problem.

There are already laws in place in every state in America that prevent wife beaters and the mentally ill from being armed.

People are definitely overreacting, but the rhetoric from the left has a big part to play. Beto's comments on firearms, combined with Biden saying he would make Beto his gun czar and saying the WH would partner with the gun control groups are not helpful if you're looking for a rational middle.

Then the majority of gun owners (including you) don't understand them. Universal background checks as in, you can't give your kid a shotgun without getting a background check? Or you can't give your friend a rifle without transferring through a FFL? And how much does that cost every time? And as for red flag laws, you think the government should be able to come and take your guns without any due process? On what basis? Somebody's say-so? Have you ever gone through a break up or witnessed somebody get divorced? Every state in this country already has involuntary commitment and protective order procedures in place. So why do we need to lessen due process protections for people? And what considerations should go into that calculus? The gender of the person against the order is sought? What about the ability to pay a bond to get the guns back? What about their skin color? Also, what happens if the guns are damaged or destroyed? Should I have to hand my grandfather's superposed over to the cops because my ex-wife said I said something? These are enormous violations of established civil property and liberty rights. To just say glibly "oh no big deal it's just a law that lets you put somebody in jail without due process or take his guns away and he can always go through two years of lawsuits to get them back," or "universal background checks," is to invite serious government abuse into our homes.

Joe's is the best place I've ever used my expense account with clients. Just huge platters overflowing with stone crab claws. That place kicks ass.

CFA is way better than the Popeye's sandwich.

agreed but it's nothing compared to crabs. what a pain in the dick. why don't we just cut out the middle man? you give me two ounces of crab meat with lots of filament and shell in it, and I will go give myself 90 papercuts and pour salt into the wounds, and we can cut like three hours out of this deal.

I don't think that's true. Tennessee itself does not have that much talent and there's no way they beat out Ole Miss, LSU, Alabama, Auburn, South Carolina, Clemson, Georgia and Florida for what is inside that circle. Even when they do, they won't have talented depth. I believe that Sarkisian will kick LSU's ass in recruiting, so that just adds more pressure. Maybe you're right, but Alabama, for example, only has two Tennessee players on its roster (only one of which I've ever heard of). Clemson has six. If Tennessee had a lot of elite talent, both those programs would have more.

lol none of them go. No person from Baltimore would go to anything like that. Sure, they may firebomb their own neighborhood pharmacy, but they're not going to a rally in DC. Everybody in Smalltimore stays in Smalltimore. Smalltimore is their life. It's their entire universe. "You live in the country?" "No, I live in the County." "same thing"

this movie sucked it wasn't "confusing." it was "stupid"

Jeremy Pruitt literally does not know what asparagus is, and he's moving to New York? lol - "the yellow ones don't stop!"

Tennessee is just totally, totally fucked. The reason they were good was because recruiting was basically regional and they had access to part of Mississippi and all of South Carolina. Tennessee is a barren wasteland of football talent. Then Spurrier went to South Carolina at the same time Clemson started getting good, and that killed South Carolina as a recruiting spot. Combined with the super-regional/national draw of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn and to a lesser extent LSU, Tennessee is boxed in and basically shares the same recruiting area with Kentucky. Even if Tennessee LOCKS DOWN the state of Tennessee in terms of recruits, they can't even field a good football team. They're dead

Pruitt in New York? Holy shit it's basically going to be Elf. He will eat gum off the subway handrails and spin around in the revolving doors and get hit by cabs

Here is a picture of my dog checking to see if the coast is clear

this is accurate a buddy of mine and i spent three minutes on the phone pronouncing the word "heupel" differently

this is very funny

If you give your servants an office and doors they will put on airs

It’s in Alabama

Correct. Pretty close on the sketch too. Except it’s a house and not a space station so all these rooms are touching.

I was joking because you said you didn’t know what he rubbed on them twice and not to ask you.
