Back when the CLEO sign-off was still a requirement for NFA registration AZ passed a law that required local LEOs to sign off for anyone who wasn't otherwise prohibited.

Interesting. I have an obsidian 9 from rugged, and I use it with a pistol with normal height sights just fine. It's obviously not as good as suppressor height sights, but if you keep both eyes open your brain will superimpose the sight picture of the right eye over the target picture from the...

Nope. I'm for cops having to follow the law like everyone else. Instead of thinking they can do anything they want as long as it's related to their job. Was reading an article about a department in Florida that was manufacturing their own drugs to use in busts. They got caught and just told...

How thick would the wall have to be ? A plastic suppressor just doesn't seem like it would stand up to me, maybe with some fiber reinforcement I guess. Still, the oil filter has to be quicker and easier :) If someone really wanted to tell the ATF to go fuck themselves, they'd start marketing...

She fell from the top of the Ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. Then landed in the stupid river and floated all the way to the coast.

Trump can't appoint anyone until the end of January. I believe the Deputy director is in charge until then.

Yea, the way it's written, if you kill the guy who's been sleeping with your wife, it's murder 2 if he was an accountant, but murder 1 if he was a cop. That's just fundamentally wrong.

If the desk Sargeant is violating federal law, then he should go to jail for it, regardless of what his state law says. "Just following orders" cannot be an excuse any more than "ignorance of the law". Should a truck driver get out of a speeding ticket because "my dispatcher said the load had...

I looked at the list, that seems to be the criteria. The concept that a person's murder is less heinous if their job is not related to government maintaining power is abhorrent.

So, only 2nd degree murder unless the victim was working for the government ? And people wonder why there's no trust in the justice system to deliver justice.

People need to go to jail for aiding and abetting a fugitive. And not just mayor's and governors. Put the desk sergeant that released them on trial too. People need to be reminded that "following orders" does not allow you to commit crimes.

If a targeted assassination isn't 1st degree, then WTF does it take ?

But, apparently his family was rich enough to just pay out of pocket. So, that would just mean this was about getting the money paid back ? Seems very odd.

Should have started a plumbing business with his brother. Or a mushroom farm, one of the two.

You can get water soluable filament. For when you really want the evidence to disappear.

I believe it is a quote from Hamlet that got adopted into the common vernacular. The context it was used in the play is exactly what you think it is (Hamlet was about the ruling family of Denmark and a lot of corruption and castle intrigue).

Paying cash is rare. Your credit/debit card has your name printed on it, so it is a form of ID. But, don't think that was relevant. Guy probably wqs acting fruity and the employee recognized his picture from the news and put 2+2 together I would guess. I probably wouldn't have called over...

Not sure you can print a suppressor. A suppressor is essentially a pressure vessel, and PLA filament isn't exactly a great choice for that. At least not a supressor good for more than one shot on a 3d printer that costs less than 6 figures. If you want a cheap untracable suppressor you go to...

The people who imported those immigrants are the real rot.

Yes, the real problem isn't a greedy corporation doing greedy stuff. They're *supposed* to do that. The real problem is that people no longer trust that the justice system is their remedy for that. If your justice system can't be trusted to deliver justice, the it is useless. This guy's...

Wouldn't be murder if a sniper laid in wait and shot a general in the back in a war. You need to decide if this was a war or not though.

The insurance bro didn't deny anyone healthful. He just refused to pay for it. It's breach of contract, not a threat to your life. The people actually withholding care are the hospitals and doctors who are setting the price and refusing to treat you unless they get paid. Not that they should...

That sounds like a class action suit that should bankrupt them. *that* is the way to handle it, not assassinating the CEO. The cartridge box doesn't open until you're done with the jury box. And when it does, it's not some random corporate drone that you target anyway.

The point of jerrymandering is to get 51% in many states and 0% in a few. But, if you think swinging NY red is easier than IL, then go for it. But, everyone needs to be working the same play or it doesn't work. When half your offense wants to pass so they run a passing play, and the other...

I guess all you conservatives trapped in NY can vote in IL and turn it red then, right ?

Well, he's sure doing nutn now. Well, nutn but decomposing.

The original SCOTUS 2A decision (Miller) said that *only* weapons of war are protected.

Ahh, yes, the textbook way to fight inflation is <checks notes> dumping more cash into the economy ?? What's her next brilliant idea, replacing the water in fire trucks with gasoline ?

If you do it right, you can tear something down a lot faster and easier than you can build it back. Certainly he can't do anything permanent, but if he really goes all out, he could things that will take them decades to recover from.

Wonder what the CIA told the judges. Was it something about the election or the candidates, or was it something about the judges themselves or their family.

History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme. They called the 1920s "roaring" and the 1930s "the depression" and they were bookended by the 2 world wars. I wonder what history is going to call the 2020s.

Can they still sell rabbits if they label them "fresh meat" ? Pigs and rabbits straddle the pet/livestock line. Pigs are like 95% food 5% pet, and rabbits are rhe other way.

Apparently you want to get shot a little, because the paycheck is bigger.

Now *Syria*, that's what a collapse looks like...

Need to go after their insurance such that doctors who do that are uninsurable. And go after the hospitals that they did the surgeries in such that nobody can afford to offer them admitting privileges either. Go so hard that the next time something like this comes up, the insurance companies...

So, the length of time it will run it would be the kWh rating of the UPS / the time average power usage of the system. Time average would be the power when it's running (i.e. ~1kW as you said above) times the duty cycle (i.e. if it runs 15mins per hour, that would be 0.25). You would really...

1W only equals 1VA if the power factor is also 1. If the power factor is anything else, then the VA will be higher than the W by the difference. A space heater would have a power factor of one. An electric motor would not. Power factor is essential a coefficient to describe how "well...

There's at least a dozen works of literature warning why you absolutely do not want a "pre-crime" department. Bunch of history books too. That's probably second only to putting an AI in charge of your nuclear weapons for dystopian bad ideas.

If a couple shots COM don't work, I'm not going to dump more there hoping to bruise him enough to stop him. I'm switching to head shots. May have more misses, but a miss isn't much worse than an ineffective hit anyway, and if you do land a hit, even it it's not in the lights out "T" zone, it's...

I keep spares in the glove box of the car. I don't need to get all the way home to resupply, but I also don't need to carry that much ammo on me. If the world deteriorates to where I think I really need to carry more than one spare mag, then I'm carrying the PS90 and a couple mags. I'm also...

Remember this ?

Why would they change. He is doing exactly what the residents of m Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver want. The rest of the country doesn't matter at all. Just like NY, sucks to be anyone else.

Gonna need a big safe for that... *not* photoshop. But, I do highly recommend the suppressor.

They have the same problem as NY. Rural folks who live in the real world held hostage by citidiots who think the world ends at the city limit. "If I don't need it inside my apartment building, then nobody should have one".

Wonder how many new leases were going to be signed over the holiday anyway. This is all about the the announcement in Jan that "Trump opened up federal lands for coal mining that Biden had closed".

The price of R12 was getting so high for a while I was wondering how long before the meth cooks decide to branch out...

"Collapses" seems to be a bit sensational to me. Typical clickbaity bullshit. If this is a "collapse" then the US government is scheduled to collapse on Jan 20th too.

He was always dying eventually. Just happened a bit sooner than most people expected.

Well, the CEO was unlikely to wander into a back alley or be found in the sorts of areas that drug deals go down in the street. You know, where most shootings happen. I'm just saying that the all the places the CEO would be probably have pretty heavy camera coverage.
