Seconded, this is the best explanation here. The browning action, on which most semi automatic pistol operate on, does not function well when a suppressor is added w/ out a Nielson device or 'booster'.

The design is made assuming the barrel weighs ____ oz, if suddenly it weighs more then the reliability is impaired.

Well it was Madison if you want to know who held the quill, but upon the consent and order of the Confederation Congress which our current Congress acts in the continuity of. See Art. XI Clause I (proclaiming the debts of the Confederation's Congress maybe held just as valid under the Constitution's Congress).

Your question is vague and it would be hard to give you an apt response, if you rephrase it with more clarity I'll get back to you.

I was not talking about case law. I was talking about text. But if you want my thoughts on prior precedents let me know which ones.

Who do you think called for and commissioned the Constitutional Convention? Who do you think proposes amendments under Article V? Pick up a book.

In this thread people who haven't read one CJ Roberts opinion in its entirety. That fault lies square only Congress and ourselves. The role of the judiciary is not the draft bill or pen amendments to the Constitution. It is to decide cases based on the law Congress made.

That kind of regulation wouldn't even survive a 9th Circuit en banc. Existing law governing industry is not "supporting precedent" to force private citizens to waive one right just to enjoy another in their own home.

mandatory storage safety with inspections

Here in the U.S. our Constitution prohibits the government from performing searches of people's homes with first having probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed and a warrant to search their home that has been signed by a judge. Const. Amend. IV.

An Imperial boat ride into Black Marsh prob second era the coincidence w/ the Crimson plague.

It could drastically expand and clarify the Black Marsh lore without removing all of the mystique like setting a game there would because TV unlike an open world RPG limits what is shown to the viewer.

That time frame + setting would also give the show a lot of creative license because it has a bunch of races that got wiped out by the plague and have very little established lore.

Congress is the combination of the House of Representatives and the Senate. America has a bicameral legislature. (Congress=House of Reps + Senate)

Because this passed the Senate in Feb and the House recently it is correct to say that this bill has passed Congress.

Michael Troy has the uncreatively name American Revolution Podcast which is basically a full episode per event/battle between the French Indian War beyond the signing of the Constitution. Leans more history than entertainment but there's some deadpan humor in there.

9.42(2)(B)'s last word "and" makes it clear to satisfy the statue one must:

-Satisfy 9.41(1);

-Satisfy either 9.41(2)(A) OR 9.41(2)(B); AND

-Satisfy either 9.41(3)(A) OR 9.41(3)(B).

That reading effectively reads the final requirement out of the text or presumes some extreme fact pattern that was not mentioned.

No problem. To add on being able to identify the way others view matters and the rational they employed to justify their actions allows us to identify logical reasons from their perspective for them to change their opinions.

On point A, I suspect he self-radicalized at first and then entered his own bubble where he further leaned more into radicalization.

On point B, I believe it does. It doesn't matter what the negative label is; viewing individuals as the caricatures that float in our minds when we hear words like "tankie" or other words that serve only, for us, to brand individuals as part of a incorrect collective encourages us to make these same un-empathic mistakes.

We shouldn't like many of these people we brand as things like "Tankie"; but we should understand why they feel the ways they do.

 

TLDW: Canadian bagged milk is an Ontario thing but the rest of Canada doesn't do that. (Also the video's maker doesn't like Ontario (also also the more you look at the word 'Ontario' the more the word looks like it was made up)).

 

Haven't seen much coverage on this so I figured I should share the word. The Explore Act has passed the House and the Senate with massive bipartisan support.

The bill will benefit bikers, rock climbers, shooters, OHRV operators, & more. It has special provisions to encourage access to the outdoors among people with disabilities, veterans, and the youth.

It seeks to establish new range access on federal lands, like national forests (see sec. 123). Ranges would have facilities for rifle and handgun shooting, and may include accommodations for archery and trap shooting.

 

This powder horn was property of John Calfe a Captain in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Calfe was from New Hampshire but this horn was from his time serving in what today is Vermont. He was stationed at Mt Independence across the lake from Fort Ticonderoga until July of 1777.

It reads: "What I Contain Shall Freely Go: To Bring a Haughty Tyrant Low."

The rifle resembled a typical spring-air rifle, but the 2000° hot, high-pressure air served not only to propel the projectile but also to ignite the propellant on the back of the V/L cartridge. The rifle uses a small, unique, and well designed part called an Obturator (obturator/ignitor) to compress the air as it is pushed through a tiny hole. This air is heated as it is pushed through the small hole enough to ignite the powder of the caseless round.

The V/L guns and ammunition were discontinued in 1969 after the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ruled that they constituted a firearm, and Daisy, which was not licensed to manufacture firearms, decided to discontinue manufacture rather than become a firearms manufacturer. About 23,000 of the rifles were made before production ceased.

 

American law outlines a series of protections for those accused of crimes but not yet convicted. (Like the 4th-6th amendments)

Does your country have any unique/novel protections of the rights of potentially innocent people accused but yet to be convicted?

If not are there any protections you think should be in place?

 

To honor the timeless principles enshrined in our Constitution, the Congress has, by joint resolution of February 29, 1952 (36 U.S.C. 106), designated September 17 as “Constitution Day and Citizenship Day” and authorized the President to issue a proclamation calling on United States officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on that day. By joint resolution of August 2, 1956 (36 U.S.C. 108), the Congress further requested that the President proclaim the week beginning September 17 and ending September 23 of each year as “Constitution Week.” NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim September 17, 2024, as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day, and September 17 through September 23 as Constitution Week. On this day and during this week, we celebrate our Constitution and the rights of citizenship that we enjoy together as the proud people of this Nation.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court held, opens new tab that a 1957 law barring people from possessing spring-release pocketknives commonly known as "switchblades" violated the right to keep and bear arms enshrined in the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment.

The court reached that conclusion while dismissing a charge filed against David Canjura for unlawfully possessing a switchblade, which Boston police found when responding to a report of an altercation between Canjura and his girlfriend.
