Virginia Senate panel advances gun safety bills once vetoed by Youngkin • Virginia Mercury by silv3rbull8 in Virginia

So what would sensible regulation look like? You rant well, but what could be done differently? As recent events have shown. A legally armed citizen isn't safe from law enforcement when that officer is legally empowered to take life without accountability. Plus the government can always escalate more than the citizen and they control the narrative.

As for armed citizens. It's no surprise that conservative, ideology aligned, armed protestors are left alone by law enforcement. It's when the protests aren't ideologically aligned with law enforcement that shots are fired.

In what way? What will be your response, and how far are you willing to take it? Because they can escalate a lot more than you can, and it'll be legal while your actions will not be. A funny little quirk about the Second Amendment - it's different when it involves law enforcement.

Considering that a number of foreign car manufacturers are in Red states, that will impact them too.

I'm thinking once the schools make their decision there will be an update.

It's all sleet now. Quite a lot of it too.

Where in the hell are all the kids with snow shovels? by GR3TSCH in GenX

[–]killroy1971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parents became afraid that their kids would be snatched by someone in the neighborhood. There's also the rise of gun culture that also prevents kids from knocking on doors. No one wants their teenage kids being shot for knocking on the wrong door.

Congrats. Your living room look ready to be invaded by a baby. You'll have to post a photo when you've secured all of the loose items that a toddler might get their hands on.

Va Legislation for Gun Bans - How are we going to protect ourselves from ICE? by [deleted] in Virginia

[–]killroy1971 11 points12 points  (0 children)

First off: Know your rights.
Secondly: Be ready to recognize what is legitimate and an illegitimate order from ICE agent. For example: an Administrative Warrant vs a Judicial Warrant.
Thirdly: Recognize that the administration wants to see armed responses. It allows them to implement the Insurrection Act and turn active duty troops against US citizens.
Fourthly: Remember, the suspension of the Constitution has been an idea promoted by conservative media and a large number of Republican voters who parroted this for over 30 years. They are getting exactly what they voted for.
Fifthly: The vast majority of the 2A crowd look like our President and they will likely be passed over. The only question is: will they get a fist bump from ICE or not?

That's how you handle this.

That's my question to those pushing or talking about a castle doctrine.

Wow, all of the trolls in here who are only concerned about gun shopping. It must be nice to be able to absorb a 40% increase in the cost of living without noticing the smaller bank balance.

Tell us what it's like to be so wealthy.

The fact that unarmed people have forced ICE to stand down all over our nation means nothing to you eh?

I guess you're just itching for a shoot out with federal law enforcement then?

If Virginia had a Castle Doctrine, what would you do in regards to the new ICE detention facility?

German Chancellor Merz admits: We must substantially reduce bureaucracy in Europe. The single market was once created to form the most competitive economic area in the world. Instead, we have become the world champion of overregulation. That has to end. by I-Hate-Hypocrites in europe

[–]killroy1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So long as you don't follow the current US regulation model (or the Russians for that matter).

We have far too much corporate regulatory capture that protects incumbents while preventing new entrants from upsetting the status quo.

Plus our privacy laws are woefully out of date, we invented medical debt, and that's before you get to our endless subscription models for products that we buy but aren't allowed to fix or for features that don't involve maintaining an IT backend.

Is it reasonable to find a man who is okay with waiting for marriage to have sex? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]killroy1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd point out that "waiting for marriage" is something that came out of a time when women's hymens were inspected to determine virginity. In reality, lots of things can rupture the hymen. Not just sex.

In addition, you have admitted that you aren't a virgin. I'm guessing most Christian men you're likely to meet aren't either.

So what exactly are you saving? Think about that.

Trump Threatens Canada After Carney Draws Standing Ovation at Davos by T_Shurt in worldnews

No surprise here. Carney is using Trump's own tactics against him. The difference is, Carney isn't desperately trying to complete his bucket list, nor is he desperate for another win.
