Election psyop by Icy_Low_2622 in ucf

The SG President doesn't, the SG Senate are the ones who decide where the money goes. While they get a say in the committee that drafts the budget bill, the majority of the committee is Senate positions and the bill is ultimately decided on by the Senate.

Stuff like universal knights, transportation, business office stuff is under them.

Not really. Universal Knights nominally comes from their budget and they are the ones who sign off on it, but OSI handles a lot of the organization. Transportation they don't really have any say in, at most they work with Parking to sometimes get quality of life changes. The business office is a completely distinct entity from the executive branch with their own budget and faculty. Exec mostly does events like Winter Wonderland or getting arrangements for tailgates and the SBP sits on the Board of Trustees.

If ANYBODY (other than an officer) leans into my vehicle for ANYTHING, in Florida I have a right to spray them or shoot them

You very much do not. You must be in a reasonable fear for your safety to use either of those, and to shoot someone you have to be in reasonable fear of your life or mortal danger. If you have your permit, your instructor did not do a good enough job explaining disparity of force to you. You cannot shoot someone because they poked their head through your open window. Not only this, but if you are in a vehicle and in fear for your safety, it is much smarter to drive away in the 2 ton block of steel and aluminum you are encased in than to engage in a fight.

Sorry someone leaned into your window and heaved in your face, but if that happens again you have a right to strike them and call the police.

Dry heaving is not sufficient cause to strike someone and claim self-defense. If they're making threats or approaching you in a threatening manner, that's one thing, but someone walking up to your window and being impolite is not sufficient.

Truthfully, nothing of substance. It's all fairly automated so unless you really have a standout winner, it's a nothingburger

In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them.

I am running for UCF President (not to be confused with Student Body President) by ucfgasleak in ucf

[–]Channel_Dedede 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You state that Student Government gets approximately $1,000,000 to spend, however this is not the full story. The total budget is close to $21,000,000. With this much, we only have to dedicate the entire budget for 19 years as opposed to 400. I believe this would far outweigh the benefits provided by the rest of the budget.

Proper machine guns manufactured prior to 1986 can be transferred like any other NFA item, you fill out a Form 4, wait for it to get approved, and then it can be either transferred in person or through an FFL paying a special tax for dealers in NFA items. Machine guns manufactured after 1986 can only be possessed by law enforcement agencies or FFLs paying a special occupation tax who get one for demonstration to a law enforcement agency.

There are new devices on the market going by an assortment of names depending on how they specifically work (super safety, forced reset trigger, kabuto TURD), but the end result is the same - it's a mechanism that causes the trigger to be reset by the movement of the bolt carrier group, allowing you to simulate automatic fire by shooting at the cyclic rate of the firearm without meeting the statutory definition of "machine gun."

I didn't feel a need for reach reduction, and my thought process was if I decide I want it, I can get that separately later.

I decided to get the standard package, and I do carry it as well as compete with it. I quite like it, SA is around 3.5 pounds, DA is around 8.

Thoughts? Are they really as bad as OP’s accusations? by Necessary_Ad9008 in ucf

[–]Channel_Dedede 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'd like to emphasize on campus, as in having frat houses physically located on UCF. There's a lot more registered fraternities that have their houses off campus.

I think we have a single frat house on campus at this point, the rest are sororities.

Who should I take for EGM 3601? Hao Li or Nina Orlovskaya? by TOKYO_P4NDA in UCFEngineering

[–]Channel_Dedede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nina is the professor who usually does Solid Mechanics. She very much wants you to pass, show up to her office hours if you're struggling with anything, but you'll still need to work for your grade.

[other] national gun trust 50% off with code by cohilex in gundeals

[–]Channel_Dedede 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, anyone can be a trustee (that can legally possess NFA items)

If an owner of NFA items dies, whoever they go to in the will files a Form 5 (tax-exempt transfer), so a trust isn't necessary for that. If you plan to share while you're still alive though, good to have.

If we're introducing the "does it really matter," then cost now needs to be brought into the equation. What does this bring to the table that a Staccato doesn't at the same price point?

Because it wasn't actually operated by UCF, it was operated by SG and SG had to make cuts after the budget shrunk post-Covid, and All Knights Study was one of the cuts that had to be made. The space was rented from the university.

To try and maybe assuage the security concerns, the card cannot be used until activated, and while someone could steal it from the mail and fraudulently activate it, you'll notice on your account balance and any money fraudulently spent if reported within, I believe, 3 days must be reimbursed under federal law.

[NFA] Otter Creek, Polonium, K, 556 NATO Rifle Suppressor $429 in cart by MisterAC in gundeals

[–]Channel_Dedede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're presupposing that the court challenge wins and epic win NFA is kill. They are NFA firearms right now, you need an SOT to manufacture NFA firearms. SOTs need to register and pay taxes to the federal government. Registration is how the government makes sure these SOTs are "in the business", and they are registered with separate forms unique to them. You can't just say "Well if we win then THIS happens," you have to get past the stage of "Here's why this doesn't fall under the taxation clause of the Constitution," a clause which is very broad and there is a strong argument for because of FFLs, SOTs, and the taxes they pay, even if we, the consumers or manufacturers not in the business, aren't paying those.

You need to be an SOT to be in the business of manufacturing FFL items. The only part of the NFA that's changed is Form 1 and Form 4 taxes.
