Massachusetts Assault Weapon Ban Ruled Constitutional by Judge

Jump

  • to oblige the great body of the yeomantry, and of the other classes of citizens, to be under arms for the purposes of going through military exercises and evolutions,

    Weird you highlighted right after the states purpose.

    would be a real grievance to the people, and serious public inconvenience and loss.

    And stopped before the fun parts. Literally the rest of that sentence, lol.

    Also you left out the commitments by the same methodology.

    and in order to see that this be not neglected, it will be necessary to assemble them once or twice in the course of a year.

    When you do this, it seems like haven't read the Federalist Papers, just found parts in them that align with your view. I'm sure that's not true, but it's what it seems like.

    This paragraph just straight up does not mean what you're implying it means

  • When I'm in online conversations it's responsibility and gun safes and trigger discipline.

    When my friends get drunk it's "let's go shoot rocks from my deck"

    • People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song?

    Jump

  • Father Christmas by The Kinks is my all-time favorite Christmas song.

    I have a very weird history with and a love/hate relationship with Christmas, but this song is always atop every Christmas playlist I've ever made.

    • Does the rest of the English speaking world generally understand what an American means when they say "soccer", or does it help to clarify by adding "football"?

  • I am amazing at geography, so that's not an issue.

    The real problem is getting around once you land, and I can say with absolute confidence that is universal.

  • Right? So many unique challenges lol

  • it’s very ingrained in gun culture to be smart about what direction you fire.

    This is one of those things where 99% of people I see online say it, but like 10% of people I know in real life actually practice it.

    Like wearing protective gear on a motorcycle

  • This is arguing in favor of the national government having the ability to mobilize forces. At the time, there was no standing army

    Again, I mentioned it being relevant today. The US government neither wants nor needs your help

    • Blinken calls out other countries for not demanding Hamas surrender and ‘stop hiding behind civilians’

    Jump

  • You clearly don't know how terrorist organizations use the term "martyr" but I assure you Hamas considers every Gazan a martyr already. It's in their charter

    • Young voters right now overwhelmingly prefer Biden: The Economist/YouGov poll

  • No in 2016 I still had a lot of (now-delusional) hope that evangelicals wouldn't possibly vote for an insane boor of a man.

    You didn't vote for Clinton in 16 lol

  • Not all of them, but enough of them to ruin it for everyone else.

    This is where we disagree

    • TikTok’s content on some political subjects aligns with the Chinese government, study says

    Jump

  • The ability to spread soft power diplomacy through infrastructure building and not just bombing brown people into oblivion

    The US is vastly better at this, and has been doing this for considerably longer, than China.

    One easy example : https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fcontributions-to-world-food-program-in-2022-by-country-v0-84ffrmt8e8za1.png%3Fs%3D127bffdefa8e2ef6727fd7116a5c1af6eb0eaacb

    How about something safe like food can have more spices than just black pepper.

    That's laughable given the two countries being discussed

  • This seems like a policy problem and not a tech problem.

  • I think a lot of us immediately think of the science fiction book and movie, “Minority Report” wherein law enforcement has access to the private thoughts of citizens and arrests and convicts those who have contemplated crime but have not yet perpetrated the crime.

    This is a matter of public policy, not tech. As are your privacy concerns.

  • What Foucalt gets wrong here is that historically, civilians just enjoy it. They don't find it barbaric or inhumane.

    Like there wouldn't be some national conversation about "what have we become" - it'll just be a fun thing people do.

  • I'm sure at some point in the future someone will do bad things with every piece of technology, as they have with every piece of technology so far.

    That's no reason to be upset about advances in new technology

  • One reason it's dangerous for me to drink in the UK is that everyone from the UK sounds like a small child to an American.

    So yeah, big language differences. Some soccer hooligan would get all mad at the telly about his footy and I'd end up being stabbed for laughing.

    • Russia Plans to Mobilize Ukrainian Children in Occupied Territories

    Jump

  • I support Ukraine so very strongly here because the Russian-Ukrainian ex-girlfriend I have walked me through the history, takes from civilians on the Russian and Ukrainian side, and the reality that this war only exists to serve Putin, personally.

    Which of those takes are propaganda exactly?

    • Blinken calls out other countries for not demanding Hamas surrender and ‘stop hiding behind civilians’

    Jump

  • I understand quite well how terrorist organizations work

    How do you think Hamas wins this war, or survives it with any degree of their operating infrastructure intact? If Hamas is non-viable going forward, Iran will just send the money elsewhere, meaning Hamas ceases to exist even if they survive.

    In what universe are dead martyrs better than living ones, assuming you're trying to galvanize people into supporting your organization?

    Perhaps you just meant "no sane human being joins a terror org so of course they won't surrender" in which case yeah that does describe the reality.
