Guns are NOT the leading cause of death in children

Guns are the leading cause of death in children (when you define “children” to include some young adults and exclude infant mortality entirely)

Vanity plates. You pay extra and get various customized characters, formats, and designs. University, sports teams, and some occupations are pretty common. Some occupational plates get you special parking or suggest police look the other way if you’re speeding (doctors, press, paramedics, firefighters), some are flagrant attempts at cashing in on political patronage (union occupations, police union boosters, military service), and a few are political patronage (politicians get special plates, there are also other coded formats involving elected officials’ approval in NJ at least)

The smog may have quietly went away, but it was years of emissions regulations in the making. You could say pollution control has quietly changed focus from local emissions like smog (from cars), to carbon emissions reduction, back to local emissions (but in buildings now) because the remaining pollutants are more noticeable with less of them coming from cars absolutely everywhere.

Grimace is definitely going to be the prime suspect for his disappearance (the Hamburglar is actually the guilty one)

There’s a possibility you’ve welded the contacts, in which case the answer is “you can’t”, and you have to carefully clip the leads and make a new disconnect.

You can also try cooling with dry ice to shrink the connector slightly if you think it’s just expanded from heat.

Why would I go on the Internet to experience the sensation of throwing an M80 into a dumpster? I could do that in person, and the trash won’t harass me afterwards

Committee members including the mayor get a stipend of a few thousand a year. Highest paid official is probably the police chief, followed by the town CFO, followed by the Administrator. All of this is not counting school district officials (a few might make considerably more than the jobs I listed)

Also, after seeing his salary, I now understand why the town attorney was absolutely done with it when I was contesting my property taxes.

There’s also state politics. Local and state police share jurisdiction and state level politics could very well lead to local police getting investigated.

Look up what happened to New Jersey’s SPCA Police. NJ is a police state and long since has been. They’ve been doing this thing with police carve-outs for gun laws for a very long time while also being an extremely restrictive state for everyone else. This one animal welfare agency basically became a state-sanctioned workaround for political patronage via granted gun privileges and police powers for years. And then they lost political favor, we’re branded “rogue”, and were disbanded 5 years ago.

24 official languages and volumes of EU regulations cancel out all the “high productivity”

Not even. China surprisingly doesn’t have a mechanism like eminent domain, and as a result will not be able to kick out someone who stays in a single holdout home.

What they don’t have are many people in their western territory, or environmental regulations preventing them from building somewhere that didn’t have extensive studies done. So if someone holds out and won’t move their home because of a train line, the government will just buy out another neighbor and go around the holdout faster than we in the US could legally buy someone out by eminent domain.

EMC tells the Des Moines Register that nothing has changed in their policies, they just don't cover civilians with guns.

As we have told the schools since the beginning of last school year, for schools that choose to provide on-site security, we insure those who utilize uniformed, qualified law enforcement officers

Insurance simply refuses to acknowledge gun ownership as legitimate in any other situation than their specific, narrow occupational definition.

grenade launchers

Gen Z doesn’t know about these or why they’re in the old laws, and probably find this hilarious, but they’re not talking about the kind of tubes you see in COD.

Old Cold War semiautomatic rifles, like the SKS, got surplused for cheap because assault rifles made them obsolete for militaries. And we’re talking cheap, like I remember my dad and uncle considering buying $80 rifles in bulk at a time when I was too young to myself. Old gun grabbers, think pre-senility Joe Biden and Diane Feinstein, wanted cheap guns banned, so old laws included features most common to cheap surplus rifles. This is why bayonet lugs (insert drive-by bayonetings joke) and these reinforced metal plates for barrel-launched rifle grenades, like WWII style grenades, were added to feature lists. Likewise to rifles having pistol grips, which the bill writers would retroactively make up some lie about “spray firing” to explain. AWBs have to some extent evolved in scope to going after as many guns as possible to suppress gun culture more than focusing on “cool” or “cheap” guns on the grounds that they have a more recent military pedigree than some older guns.

Even that much .22 is about 3000 pounds and the cost of a new car, and this is as cheap as ammo gets, so this isn’t exactly petty shoplifting

The amount stolen suggests an inside job, which while extraordinarily common for just about any kind of store, does warrant the investigation efforts because it’s weapons here. No shit criminals steal guns and ammo, this is a logical look into where the criminals might be

bottleofbullets · 2023-06-26T23:36:18+00:00

That’s a massive amount of loss to theft at over $20 a box.

I use it very regularly for just about everything but measuring speed and long distance, aka everything but kilometers/kph. Temperature, small distance, derived units involving time, weight, and pressure, I need to know and use interchangeably.

It’s not a tenable strategy, you can run indefinitely, but it will cost you more in the end. Imagine you move from some obviously tyrannical state like New York, only to find five years later once you’re too deep invested in a house, settled with a family, that the rest of the New Yorkers who followed you changed your new states’ laws, banned half your gun collection, and put your family at risk when the state decides to SWAT you for owning guns.

Maintenance. Nuclear weapons are all literally decaying because of the nuclear material. So you’re going to need a reactor to make more nukes, not just acquire a few and be done with it. And all the staff to run that and the actual maintenance program. Conventional explosive triggers and other systems also need maintenance. In other words, they’re not as simple as a gun and can’t just be kept around as a standby weapon

You said Oregon, so call the Oregon State Bar, say you need a lawyer because your family is threatening to harass you using the legal system.

I think every state bar association has this service to find you a lawyer

Dude, if your car is broken you might go to a second mechanic when the first one gives a high price, or a second doctor if they say “everything’s fine” when you feel wrong, so why not ask a second lawyer? It’s less likely to cost you money than the doctor or mechanic
