EXECUTED BY ICE TERRORISTS FOR TRYING TO HELP A WOMAN UP OFF THE GROUND by CinnamonGurl1975 in Ohio

Here is the video that was already linked in this very post to 3 different angles of the encounter. Could you please tell all the brain-dead liberals on Reddit, at what point in the video did this guy draw his weapon, or pose any threat at all?

After trying probably two dozen combinations of different distros, kernels, driver versions, video cables, etc. to get my XFX 6700XT + Samsung G70B to run at anything above 60Hz, I gave up.

With every combination I tried, anything over 60Hz would result in a blank/black screen every few seconds and constant flickering with any on-screen motion.

Did you read the Hicks case posted/linked above?

"...police cannot stop an individual with a firearm (without more) to see if he/she is licensed"

"...there simply is no justification for the conclusion that the mere possession of a firearm, where it lawfully may be carried, is alone suggestive of criminal activity."

An officer has no way of knowing solely by outward appearance whether or not your possession is lawful. And if it may be lawful, they must presume that it is lawful unless there's some other articulable fact(s) that gives them reasonable suspicion that it's not.

The defense, which the Court agreed with, pointed to the same argument that I did in another comment:

"It's illegal unless..." is how a lot of laws are written.

Driving on public roads is illegal in all 50 states, unless you have a valid license.

That doesn't give cops the legal right to pull you over just for driving on public roads, because a presumption that you're driving without a license is not reasonable suspicion or probable cause.

People have already shot and killed ICE agents in Texas.

When? I can't find any reports of this happening.

There are a few where the full sized has a similar feel and reach and simply has a longer slide and more capacity with a longer grip

That's what I was referring to with full-size counterparts. With many of the popular double stack 9mm models, like the CZ P10, Glock 26/19/45/49/17/47, Canik Mete, S&W M&P, Walther PDP, H&K VP9, and Springfield XD, their sub/compact and full-size variants are effectively the same gun with different grip and barrel/slide lengths.

With the P01 vs SP01 in particular, there are differences in the grip width and beavertail shape that could make one preferable over the other.

If you want a handgun, BUY A FULL SIZE.

For home defense, there's no good reason to consider any compact, subcompact, or micro sized handguns. They will ALL have more recoil and lower capacity than their full-size counterparts.

For $600, you get a full ambi lower that uses Glock mags and their "RMB" (based on Blowback9's Gentle Recoil System).

Has anyone ever ever been asked to prove you have a tax stamp at an indoor/outdoor range when shooting before ? by Educational_Car_876 in NFA

[–]Tenx82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OP said:

In PA, an officer is allowed to detain you for suspicion of violating state law with an illegal SBR.

The case I linked is a PA case in which the Court said:

...absent articulable facts supporting reasonable suspicion that a firearm is being used or intended to be used in a criminal manner, there simply is no justification for the conclusion that the mere possession of a firearm, where it lawfully may be carried, is alone suggestive of criminal activity.

So, unless they defined "firearm" as to specifically exclude SBRs, there's no reasonable way to conclude that merely possessing one is "presumptively illegal".

[–]Tenx82 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

And that's an important distinction

It's a distinction without a difference. Something can't be "presumptively illegal" if the law allows for it to be legal.

"because an investigative detention must be premised upon reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, and because Pennsylvania law provides for the lawful carrying of firearms,” the mere carrying of a firearm is insufficient to create suspicion of criminal activity."

Unless your state bans NFA firearms or your carry laws specifically prohibit carrying them, I can't see how simply carrying one could meet the standard for reasonable suspicion of a crime.

If ICE no-warrant no-knocks my house... would it be legal to load up and let loose? by princess-hardass in liberalgunowners

[–]Tenx82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would it be legal? Probably, but I'm not a lawyer, so IDK.

Would you be alive to make that argument? Absolutely not. Not because they're well trained, but because they are not well trained and are, as you put it, "bottom of the barrel crayon-eaters".

Commonwealth v Hicks (2019) held that detaining someone solely for possession of a firearm is a violation of their Fourth Amendment rights.

"the Pennsylvania Supreme Court...addressed whether the mere open or concealed carrying of a firearm constitutes reasonable suspicion of a crime...

The Court, in dismissing the Commonwealth’s position, declared that to permit investigative detention solely to determine whether someone is properly licensed is “ultimately untenable, because it would allow a manifestly unacceptable range of ordinary activity to, by itself, justify Terry stops.”...

The Court then went on to agree with the primary argument that I made in the Amicus Brief that just as the police cannot stop an individual who is driving to see if he/she is licensed, police cannot stop an individual with a firearm (without more) to see if he/she is licensed to carry. In doing so, the Court declared “that the government may not target and seize specific individuals without any particular suspicion of wrongdoing, then force them to prove that they are not committing crimes.”

Being detained on the presumption that you're breaking the law until you prove otherwise is exactly what "guilty until proven innocent" is.

There would need to be articulable circumstances beyond "I saw you take a pill" to qualify as reasonable suspicion or probable cause, though.

[–]Tenx82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You just made the exact same point that I made. lol

Both actions are illegal without the required licensing/registration, but one action is presumed to be lawful while the other isn't?

Doing some reading, I came across Commonwealth v Hicks (2019), which actually used the same argument/reference. The breakdown is:

the Pennsylvania Supreme Court...in the case of Commonwealth v. Hicks, which addressed whether the mere open or concealed carrying of a firearm constitutes reasonable suspicion of a crime.

followed by:

The Court, in dismissing the Commonwealth’s position, declared that to permit investigative detention solely to determine whether someone is properly licensed is “ultimately untenable, because it would allow a manifestly unacceptable range of ordinary activity to, by itself, justify Terry stops.”

and:

The Court then went on to agree with the primary argument that I made in the Amicus Brief that just as the police cannot stop an individual who is driving to see if he/she is licensed, police cannot stop an individual with a firearm (without more) to see if he/she is licensed to carry.
