It's hardly science fiction. 4th Amendment issues aside, it's a matter of scaling this up and paying for it.
NYS, CA, and other places are showing their cards. Don't think that if there is a way for them to "unmask" those who defy their rules and carry guns, they won't try it.
I voted that loaded = chambered. In reading responses, I have changed my mind.
Loaded means a mag inserted with a live round in the mag; or for revolvers, a live round in at least one cylinder.
This video is from a decade ago.
I fully expect that NYS and other places bent on disarming the populace will bathe the streets in radar which can identify passersby who are armed.
Now that everywhere is a "sensitive" location, simple navigation will become very treacherous for those...
It appears to be a moronic poll question. Who exactly was included in the poll? Do you have faith in what the pollsters are representing, or do you suspect they perhaps had troublemaking in mind from the start?
Adams finally had an opportunity to get a lot off his chest, and he did so. Good...
The fool also said he previously had opted to identify as Black in order to "help them out."
I sure hope we can survive without his comic wit, self-inclusion in our ranks and general goodwill. Fingers crossed!
Santos is not the person we want championing 2A, in any way, shape or form. Don't be short-sighted and fall for his desperate ploy. He's demonstrating contempt for every self-respecting gun owner by hitching himself to this cause.
These are treacherous times for concealed carriers.
Did TMO provide good info regarding your phone? Mine has been on the fritz lately...constant network problems.
I expressed amazement that he was elected in the first place. I consider him unfit for office based on his documented challenges. I'm not even aware of whatever the latest development in his saga is, but I doubt it would render him suddenly fit for office in my view.
Santos is mentally ill, a complete pathological liar, or both.
He seems to lie simply because he enjoys lying.
He flagrantly lied about important details that were incredibly easy to disprove. He lied about totally irrelevant and absurd aspects of his "life" that served no purpose in the...
I agree that politics drives media coverage. There is always an agenda. That said, Santos is an extraordinary case. I consider this obvious and undeniable.
Since there is indeed a razor thin GOP majority in the house, the fate of Santos looms large. Whether the general public "should" know his...
I'm incredulous at your whataboutism, and not at all making the case that Democrats don't lie.
Santos is a stupendous embarrassment to any group he is a part of, including liars.
To argue against him losing his post is to signal total surrender to cynicism, and is a shameless endorsement of...
Agreed.
The government cannot meet our needs. The hopeless trap that the USA has fallen into is outsourcing the role that each individual must play in getting one's needs met -- as well as "paying it forward" and contributing to general conditions which foster others' needs being met -- to the...
We all have the need for purpose, safety and dignity. These are universal needs which supersede any attempt at sociopolitical organization, such as the Constitution.
You say that these things "must be done by the individual," yet great effort since the beginning of time has been made to create...
Overall and in the broadest sense, I believe violent crime will diminish when the needs of the people committing the violent crimes are met.
Here is what I base that contention on:
I subscribe to the school of thought that all humans have certain basic needs. We are universally the same in...
Why do you think crime is concentrated in the cities? What do you see as the reasons why ghettoes exist? What conditions characterize ghettoes?
I see your solution as focusing on symptoms instead of addressing the disease(s). The US already is a world leader in incarceration rates. We can't jail...
"Nearly all of the killings can be found in the larger cities across the lands.
Within these larger cities, the majority of shootings/killings come out of small pockets within the larger cities.
Here in the Buffalo area for example. Nearly all of the shootings and killings in our County occur...
Still significant in what the press is choosing to write about, and the information they are disseminating. Not all details were incorrect, but the inaccuracies were slanted in favor of the grabbers.
Poorly written article, conflates ban with forced registration, among other inaccuracies and misrepresentations.

Revolvers don't get pushed out of battery when the struggle gets up close and personal. Keeps track of the casings as well.
I would not buy a Python simply because I'm not looking to add any guns to my stable. I have every likely use case covered.
I need absolute reliability more than capacity. I'll carry extra rounds and reload my revolver as quickly as I can. We're talking ONE gun. Need to get as close to ruling out mechanical failure as possible.
The question then becomes, what is our North Star? How to rectify breaking of the contract? Both sides continually pervert the "spirit of the law" and look for extralegal ways to advance their agendas. Trump, however, is essentially calling for anarchy, in service of his presidential ambitions.
Like I said:
Give him a pass now, tomorrow and on election day and then keep your mouth shut when he pulls some "unthinkable" stunt like trying to suspend 2A outright. (The democrats are rapidly implementing this via death by 1,000 cuts).
I'm not one of Trump's apologists looking past the words...
Until and unless Trump is installed in the presidency, he wants all bets off, up to and including the Constitution. If you take no issue with that, then there's little to talk about.
I have no love for "if you don't vote for me, you ain't Black" Joe Biden. The Democratic establishment is tyrannical. Trump is tyrannical, sitting at the other end of the political spectrum.

Using my perceived "dislike" of Trump as a deflection from my focus on the words coming out his mouth (fingers?) is a cop-out.
It is pretty wild how people who identify with Trump seem inclined to do a lot of "translating" and straight up looking the other way when Trump makes statements which...
