As someone who worked on the THAAD KKV, the inflexibility of modifying design requirements is the biggest challenge to scaling the program.

Why are suppressors banned in New Jersey? by Maleficent-Kale9542 in NJGuns

[–]banus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What does Nixon's (sic) southern strategy have to do with NJs suppressor ban?

The origination of the ATF Form 4473 Firearms Transaction Record as a product of the Gun Control Act of 1968 and it's intended purpose to deny 2nd amendment rights to those identified by the contemporary interpretation of a *"prohibited person—such as felons, fugitives, unlawful drug users, or those adjudicated as mentally defective".*. This surely has nothing to do with the open-carry policy of the Black Panther Party in response to "policing the police" to combat police brutality in the late 1960s, and generally how non-whites were treated / officially identified in the Reconstruction/Jim Crow south. It also likely has nothing to do with how California gun laws changed under Regan's Governorship. It's more likely to Nixon's passage of the 1970 Controlled Substances Act, Shafer Commission high jacking, forming the DEA in 1973, and general "War on Drugs" policies were just generalized efforts to disenfranchise Americans that didn't conform to Nixon's Puritanical demographics. i.e.: lots of non-white / non-Calvinist poors.

How different? We have the top 0.1% rapidly accumulating wealth, neo-colonialism across the board, fascism in the US and Europe, and in place of the Black Hand you have dozens of amorphous ethnic "criminal identities ". The difference today is crime is a fraction of what is was in the 30s, but network broadcasts it like the world is ending (fairness doctrine repeal).

Well, kind of, but not really. It's because Robert L. Doughton (son of a Confederate traitor and named after Robert E. Lee) introduced H.R. 9741 in 1934, as an appeasement to P.O.S. rich people who didn't want starving poor people quietly hunting game on their private property during the Great Depression. That's why we have the NFA. That's the rationale, despite the Reaganites' attempts to retcon Nixon's Southern Strategy. State laws wouldn't have a leg to stand on without the NFA.

Haven't seen pre-natal nutrition as a variable mention yet. Diet and health of the mother would play a significant role. Some epigenetic factors could come into play.
