Shame really great game
All liberty is guarded by four boxes. The soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box. They are in order.
Political violence is largely a terrible idea that results in continued suffering or retribution. People online flock to it as a remedy and often aren't fully aware of the structure of their local government. The best means of change are by convincing locals of a better alternative that is amiable to all parties. Online activism has a broader net but ultimately reaches less people in positions likely to be able to remedy local matters. Carrot beats stick.
Dude touch grass if someone wants to post cringe that's on them but responding to every one of their comments is just harassment.
Yeah that's how it works.
Other comments in this thread reflect a lack of appreciation for the prior system. Once upon a time the king's men could arrest legislators unfavorable to him to bar unfavorable legislation. Today we have legislation barring the arrest of representatives while the house is in session.
Nope just skimmed the complaint.
I have another comment on this post which may be helpful for you. TLDR Biden's Admin had tried to protect trans people under the ADA via executive agency. Likely outcome is that will be reversed but the ADA (and similar or related protections) & IMO will not see broader impacts. This is because the law that passed Congress and was sign by the president specifically didn't include trans people when it was signed (along with a number of other peoples most trans people would be offended to be grouped with).
Tldr tldr: this likely stops trans people from being in the ADA's protection.
Full complaint is case 5:24-cv-00225-C filed in the US District Court Northern District of Texas.
It seems that the heart of the lawsuit is that the Biden Admin tried to get gender dysphoria to be a disability under the Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and ADA by means of administrative rule making. The text of both of those laws as written *by Congress and signed by the Executive have clauses stating they do not encompass trans people. (Cites are in line 2 of complaint)
I'd wager the constitutional argument on the spending power is to preserve another option for appeal. Realistically I think they'll probably win and get the Final Rule held to be a violation of the APA and struck down without the rest of Section 504 being touched. Their constitutional argument boils down to if the Final Rule isn't violating the law the law is too vague to be enforceable.
*Edit
One day the mountains will crumble to the sea. Just as one day we will all be forgotten to history, and in that it is inalienable. The only question is if that's something you would want or not.
Re-read my comment above. They only have power which we vest in them.
This powder horn was property of John Calfe a Captain in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Calfe was from New Hampshire but this horn was from his time serving in what today is Vermont. He was stationed at Mt Independence across the lake from Fort Ticonderoga until July of 1777.
It reads: "What I Contain Shall Freely Go: To Bring a Haughty Tyrant Low."
The rifle resembled a typical spring-air rifle, but the 2000° hot, high-pressure air served not only to propel the projectile but also to ignite the propellant on the back of the V/L cartridge. The rifle uses a small, unique, and well designed part called an Obturator (obturator/ignitor) to compress the air as it is pushed through a tiny hole. This air is heated as it is pushed through the small hole enough to ignite the powder of the caseless round.
The V/L guns and ammunition were discontinued in 1969 after the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ruled that they constituted a firearm, and Daisy, which was not licensed to manufacture firearms, decided to discontinue manufacture rather than become a firearms manufacturer. About 23,000 of the rifles were made before production ceased.
This 5 shot 7.62 caliber double action revolver is actually suppressed by its unique cartridge design.
When fired expanding gases from the gunpowder pushed a plug forward which inturn pushed the liquid solution (60% alcohol 40% glycerol). This incompressible solution pushed on the bullet to launch it out of the revolver's barrel. The gases were contained in the cartridge preventing the typical sound report of a gunshot. And the liquid would follow the subsonic bullet out of the barrel as well.
This Chinese production C96 Broomhandle pistol is found in the collection of the UK's Royal Armouries. Curator Jonathan Ferguson showed it off recently in this video briefly.
It notably the word pistol engraved on the side where it should say Mauser. Just in case you couldn't tell I suppose.
