Shortly after the suspensions, Musk said on Twitter that the moves were not in retaliation for critical coverage. "Criticizing me all day long is totally fine, but doxxing my real-time location and endangering my family is not," Musk tweeted. Musk also claimed that one account that operated under the handle @ElonJet, run by a 20-year-old University of Florida student, was used by a "crazy stalker" in Los Angeles to follow a car carrying one of Musk's children. https://www.npr.org/2022/12/15/1143291081/twitter-suspends-journalists-elon-musk-jet

It's called the "Caring Killing Paradox"

You have no idea the toll it takes on the veterinary providers. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4266064/ A doctor usually has a deep commitment to their oath. What toll would it take on them? What can of worms are we opening here.

Hence, the Prisoner of War Medal/Ribbon

Citizenship by Descent

It means we figured out a way around the the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA) definition of a short-barreled rifle and can avoid registration and tax stamp. A short-barreled rifle (SBR) is any rifle with a shoulder stock and barrel less than 16 inches in length and 26 inches in overall length. It requires a citizen to fill out ATF Form 4, wait 4 months for a background and formalized transfer, and pay a $200 NFA Tax Stamp. Make an AR short with no stock and a barrel of less than 16 inches - call it a pistol. No NFA. Ta daaa!!!

Lovely Day?

Truth. https://globalnews.ca/news/3552281/snipers-canadian-military/ We do. Just as Canada sends theirs down to Benning for training also. Our two countries probably train together more than most. Most American Airborne cherish their Canadian Jump wings and vice versa. When Canada comes down to Bragg to train - there's gonna be some inter-rivalry shenanigans. Digging the history lesson of both your ancestors. Wonder if Kallend fought along side of them. Course, he mighta been busy on the Manhattan Project. :)

More guns in public make us less safe. I just don't even know what to say anymore. Even NJ is now the wild wild west.

What part of "you DON'T fuck with those you may be going into battle with" are you just not getting? Do you sit around in your mum's basement jacking off to porn every time you think you've scored some debate point on here? You're in each thread and got nothing to add but some snarky bullshit to everyone. You can piss off and consider yourself blocked. I don't deal with stupid shit.

Then you'd think you'd know I was talking about "fucking" with people in a negative way that causes anger. Not "fucking" around with people as in bantering. Maybe if you read the whole thread - you wouldn't have got lost on that one, it was pretty fucking simple. Shame on you.

Laughably naive and demonstrably false. It’s attitudes like yours that enable ongoing racist and sexist abuse of decent people serving their country. You should be ashamed. What in the goony goo goo fuck are you talking about?

It has begun. I have formalized in writing my position on gun responsibility and out state's position on abortion. I did not vote for our State Governor or US Congressman and voted independent. I meant what I said, if I see Trump on the ballot; I'm done and will go Independent party. Angel's Envy or Maker's 46 will be my choice.

He's a musician, Bill. It's not about being the smartest person in the room; it's about being the loudest.

So, now you echo the infamous Jefferson quote. One problem. He never said that. (you're free to contact the Thomas Jefferson Foundation to confirm - they have nothing that states he said that). It was written by John Barnhill in 1914. The way the Constitution protects against tyranny is Separation of Powers. “Liberty requires that the three great departments of power should be separate and distinct.” ~James Madison. You've really got to stop using YouTube, Rumbl, Breitbart and other supposed media outlets to make your arguments and try picking up a book. Or two, or three.

Penn & Teller are from this time period. If you're trying to use the "Well Regulated" meant "Well Organized" argument - I'm not even sure where that originated. The colonialists (the people) were the militia and not any part of a standing army (which caused Hamilton great concern for the US to have one - but we do). In his Federalist Papers No. 29, he outlines all "three sides" of the coin. The militia, a standing army and the people. "Well Regulated" meant training to a military standard. It was proposed, that the people from each state would gather once or twice a year and train to military standards, but make no mistake they were "the people" of each state - not a paid military. In fact, they could be made to support another state in the event that other state were invaded by a standing army. There is an ongoing myth about what the forefathers "meant" about a "well regulated" militia and "the people" being separate by a single comma. "The people" were "the militia." The right to bear arms was to allow the people to support the militia UNTIL a more formalized militia could be developed at a later date to protect these US from a standing (foreign) army. If you don't believe the government can regulate weapons and ammo, then how has the NFA stood as a law for so long. Did you know that the Supreme Court didn't acknowledge individual gun ownership as a right until 2008. 219 years after the US Constitution was adopted. If you don't think the US can ban certain weapons, then why is there still a ban on gravity knives. Why is there still a law on who can or can't own machine guns and a rather lengthy "well-regulated" process to own one. Having said all that, I personally, don't like the "left's" attack on the 2nd Amendment, but I also don't like the "right's" belief that gun ownership comes without some form of responsibility or accountability, or regulation. The "left" needs to agree to leave the 2nd Amendment alone and the "right" needs to agree that children getting killed in school warrants regulation of firearms to prevent it from happening again. We claim to be morally superior to other countries - let's start with protecting children from even having to have "active shooter" programs by regulating ownership - not banning guns, but banning nut jobs from owning guns AND ensuring everyone who owns a weapon gets the proper training as Hamilton outlined as "the People" being "Well Regulated."

That's above your pay grade.

Well, that's structural racism - and CRT is the study of structural racism. Tracking. I failed to use CRT. Thanks.

But, it is. Look at the number of people released by organizations like the Innocence Project. A permanent solution demands a perfect process. We don't have that.

Thank you. Please don't confuse conservative with MAGA right.

We've had this discussion and both of us have tried to school Winsor on the subject. Woke is an aristocracy devoted to means that prevent minorities from advancement by using the legal system. BLM on the other hand is/was supposed to be a decentralized social movement to enlighten the American public, which went south after even the minorities saw where the money was going. Intent was good following the murders of several African-Americans which we all witnessed, but unfortunately, too much money too soon . . .

For me, kinda. Woke is being alert to racial prejudice and discrimination in high-level legal constructs that prohibit equality. BLM is being alert to prejudice and discrimination in social constructs that promote racism. Am I splitting hairs here?

Let's not commingle Woke and BLM. Different.

Truth. Bright lights (fog halo lights, crash bar lights, etc.) towards the front do more for your visibility than loud pipes. Loud pipes point backwards. Motorcycle wrecks rarely occur to your rear.

Thank you
