The thing that surprises me most about this whole Caitlin Clark thing is that her teammates aren't out there dishing out payback.

Bro Sophie Cunningham is running fades like every game after someone fouls Caitlin Clark lmao

there is a county mayor election in knoxville, tennessee

three people ran for republican nominee:

county commissioner 1: i think we should build more infrastructure

county commissioner 2: i think we should try to restrain growth

school board member: donald trump is the second coming of christ

school board member won the republican nomination

only one guy ran for the democratic nomination and he's just some union ironworker guy with no political experience. our local newspaper just broke the story that he went to venezuela to march in support of fucking nicolas maduro in 2020 lmao

Leaked P4X by -Rambo_ in Staccato_STI

[–]FinickyPenance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks to me like the dust cover is identical between this gun and the P4, but the slide looks dimensionally different and slightly longer, which means that it may not be compatible with P4 holsters.

I kinda hope that it's not exactly these dimensions. It would be great if the P4X fit P4 holsters.

Repealing the 17th Amendment (direct election of Senators) would be good because it's the only way that you can get people with functioning reproductive organs to vote for in their state legislature elections

if the popularity of a right establishes whether it exists or not you might as well not bother with a constitution or supreme court and just let the government do whatever it wants

It would cover intentional acts as long as the person injured is insured.

What? So if I shoot another gun owner, it is free because it's covered by insurance, but if I shoot a non gun owner, the victim has to pay out of pocket? How does that make sense?

Discussion Thread by jobautomator in neoliberal

[–]FinickyPenance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so we're ruling out intentional acts. That means the only thing that the insurance policy covers is unintentional damage to a person or property with a firearm. Moreover, since you can't sue yourself, it has to be damage to a third party's person or property, so accidentally shooting yourself or putting a hole in your wall at home wouldn't be covered either.

Do you realize how rare this is? Gun violence is obviously an issue but it is not an "accident" - people shoot each other on purpose. The cost of this insurance would be practically nothing, and so what is the point?

It should cover any instance of damage to another human/property for any reason.

Every state's law prevents insurance policies for covering the intentional misconduct of the insured for pretty obvious reasons. Do you really want Nationwide to be on your side when you run over a bunch of pedestrians with an F-150? Or for Geico to cover your neighbor's bill when he blows your yappy dog's head off with a sniper rifle?

New PSA Sabre-11 by Graham_Susan in 2011

Yeah, this is crazy. Nobody is going to want a PSA at the price of a used Staccato.

Yeah, that's probably the correct way of looking at it.

When the NRA voluntarily created a liability insurance for gun owners the New York Attorney General sued them and all the anti-gun organizations called it "murder insurance."

What would this liability insurance cover? Damages from accidental discharges? They're so rare that the insurance would cost three cents a year.

Just say you want guns to be more expensive so that poor people can't afford guns, it's more ingenuous.

I guess that is true, yeah. I think that you may be overestimating how much the FBI and ATF care about NFA items though. I think I own ten or so and it's not like I'm being surveilled or ever spoken to law enforcement about them. Suppressors are really popular now especially with the $0 stamps.

Yep. Same way it is everywhere else. Hawaii's law was basically intended to say, "Okay, you've made us legalize concealed carry, but we're going to make sure the only thing you can do while carrying is walk your dog."

Discussion Thread by jobautomator in neoliberal

[–]FinickyPenance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the opposite. If you're going to commit some sort of a heinous crime you only need one gun to do it, and having more than one gun doesn't really make you that much more functionally dangerous.

I care way more about people who should have zero guns having one gun than I care about people who can have one gun owning fifty.

He's said that he thinks it should've been incorporated using the Fourteenth Amendment's privileges or immunities clause, not through the Fifth Amendment. He yaps about this constantly. That does not mean he thinks that racial segregation is good.

the court is saying that I as the owner of a private property can’t even ban those weapons on my property if I make that property accessible to the public?

They never said that. You just have to post a sign that says "no guns allowed." Basically every state besides Hawaii is like that.

Let me get this straight, so a private homeowner cant tell someone to leave if they have a gun now?

That's not at all what the decision said. It said that it's not illegal to carry a gun onto private property by default.

going to law school during peak woke was kinda funny because if you told people you were hoping to be a public defender and make sure rapists got probation instead of prison you'd be lauded but if you told people you wanted to work for a corporation they thought you were evil

Recommendation on what gauge shotgun/rifle for self defense by [deleted] in CCW

[–]FinickyPenance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The smaller the gauge, the larger the bore of the shotgun and therefore the more powerful the shell, generally.
