Agreed. The two hyperlinks provided right above are worthy reading.

But it can and has happened. https://mises.org/wire/brief-history-repressive-regimes-and-their-gun-laws EDIT: And, that's just a short list.

Well said, Ken. After posting that; I thought, "Why do we keep talking about the past instead of planning for the future?"
-
OK. I'm a little lost. Sometimes I think I'm being concise, but do miss the mark on occasion. Help me understand which part or why you think I'm contradicting myself.
-
True. And, we can disagree. But, if you keep making me address the same thing, I'll buy your beer as promised, but you're on thin ice with my world-renowned fajitas.

Maybe you need to re-read your history. Cartwright, Somerset, etc. all led to England having to formalize the abolition of slavery in 1833. In other words, England talked about it and "hoped" it would cease, but it didn't.

Canada has, "No Right to Bear Arms." We do. You have a privilege - which can be taken away. We've had this discussion and you keep arguing with me about something I've already addressed. I don't think you're ever going to be happy until you think you can get me to say - "Alright, let's abolish the 2nd Amendment," which is never going to happen.

I'm all for universal healthcare. An ACA expansion of Medicaid that was written by the four primary health insurers that only benefits them - is not universal healthcare. Obama had a great opportunity to get it right and fumbled the ball.

Absolutely. Other than they have to exist - Otherwise, you wind up with a "China or Russia" type BoR
-
If that's true; then why did England need the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833
-
Russia. China. + BoR. C'mon Phil.
-
Not true. Slander. Libel, Obscenities, Fighting words, Blackmail, Graffiti, Certain forms of speech that elicit expressive conduct (as in this case) etc., etc.
-
And yet, the English Bill of Rights was written in 1689, about 90 years before the Declaration, yet slavery in England didn't end till 35 years before the US for a net capital gain of enjoying slavery 65 years longer than the US. Here. Let me help you down off that soap box.
-
Can't tell you that. You don't have the secret decoder ring or even know the secret handshake.
-
True and there were RUD's submitted upon ratification. Guess I'm not following your point or direction. If every country had a BoR; the ICCPR wouldn't have been developed or exist. Or, the Naa Neee Naaa nee we had it first defense. :)

Evening, Jerry. " . . . students can’t “materially disrupt” the functioning of their school, though what’s considered disruptive can depend on the situation." https://www.aclu.org/other/tinker-v-des-moines-landmark-supreme-court-ruling-behalf-student-expression And, that's why we have a SCOTUS and I will be watching this (mostly, cause I find BoR cases interesting).

Works in movies, not in real life.

This question might get better served if it were in Gear & Rigging. This is more like the DB Cooper thread and many don't even look in here anymore. Perhaps PM a moderator to see of they can move it or delete it and place it in G&R.

IMO: The officer was too far away to do anything other than shoot. There's no way he could have got to her in time from that distance before the knife was thrust into the other girl. If I had a criticism about the officers actions; it would be his failure to "look past the shot." When I first saw it; it puckered my ass because you can see people in the background. I "don't think" he had to shoot to kill and was waiting for other video viewpoints before addressing this issue. Of concern is - on more than one occasion it's been reported that police had been on-site for several minutes. How come this wasn't de-escalated before it escalated to this point.
-
It's been going on for longer; it's just with the advent of media the signal is louder and wider than ever before.
-
That's all in the proposed plan. w/r/t this stabbing matter (or the other shootings going on) . . . you know the role of the military - civilian police are required to have 100x more restraint, training and interaction with civilians/citizens. From what I've seen; the military has more discipline for their environment, than the police for theirs.
-
Afternoon, Jerry Not totally incorrect - but not totally accurate either. Keith
-
Another. " . . . what some call the Camden Miracle, and it’s responsible for Camden suddenly being seen as a model for “defunding the police.” But what happened in Camden was not a defunding at all; instead, it was a transfer of authority to what residents call the Metro—and, though Camden saw a drop in crime rates, so did other major urban communities in the state." If there's a successful model out there; use it.
-
Amen.
-
Tim, you have really got to go back and read the proposed plan.
