Yes, I'm referring to poison gas being banned in international law (treaty) and that the preamble was to make it clear that the 2nd was as much about the militia as the usual reasons to bear arms (Bill of Rights of 1689 only gave the right to bear arms for self defence), which leads to the idea that the arms allowed are similar to the standing armies arms. A wide category but not unlimited.
Yes, but those are harder to dig up, especially from back in the '60's. I doubt that they're used in evaluating petition signers. I'm not going to get involved as I don't live there but legally I could and it's interesting how I'd be verified.
As an experienced politician, Cameron should have understood that votes often go in unexpected directions with many an election decided by who bothered to vote and who stayed home. Not sure of the turnout but it is quite possible that 70% wanted to remain and figured it was a shoe-in so 21% decided to stay home.
Yea, it's weird that Cameron went along with the 50%+1 to win in both cases. I could see Scotland arguing that 50%+1 was enough. We had similar here in Canada when Quebec held referendums except it was Quebec claiming that 50%+1 was enough. Eventually the Federal government got a ruling from the Supreme Court that Quebec could not unilaterally secede according to both the Canadian Constitution and international law and the Federal then passed the clarity law which amongst other things,says it has to be a clear majority and a clear question, without actually stating what a clear majority is. IIRC, it was also decided that for a Province to secede, would require all the other Provinces to agree. Under that idea, Brexit may have failed due to only 2 of the 4 members of the UK not agreeing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
In that case, just a rumour unless you have a UK postal address? Still wonder about myself as the only proof I have of UK citizenship is my birth certificate.
For a major constitution level change, that is not a very clear majority. Most countries (well western ones) need more then that to change their constitutions or multiple votes.
The UK passport requirement must be for people out of the country as I'd guess a sizeable chunk of the population in the UK don't have a passport. Even passport isn't that good as a person can have a UK passport without the right of abode in the UK.
Sadly, for some, it isn't sarcasm. Big business really does like to be able to buy politicians and some do think that any regulations enforcing a free market is taking away their freedoms.
Actually socialism may be the answer. Small communities installing their own fiber. Co-ops are another socialist idea that can work well. Small businesses should also be a solution except they usually get bought out.. Unluckily the capitalists hate socialism and will use their capital to buy laws to prevent competition, including competition from small towns or co-ops.
No, it is the opposite of communism. This is freedom, the freedom of the rich to buy politicians with their capital and produce more capital from that investment in buying government. Next you'll be calling for big government to force free markets with actual competition, something that sounds like socialism or worse, restricting peoples right to give money away to who they choose, which would be tyranny.
Actually, it is capitalism at its purest. Capitalism rewards the most efficient, and it is more efficient to buy laws, regulations and subsidies then to actually produce product.
Are you saying it would be better to have tyranny of the minority? So a minority of people, lets say farmers, could vote that everyone in IT should give 30% of their income to everyone else even if most people disagreed? Never could understand those who think that a tyranny of the minority is a better form of tyranny. I guess they just think they'll be the tyrants.
Funny enough, the undesirables used to be forced to live on the floodplains here. No government help back then so rich people stuck to the higher ground.
A new thing in Vancouver, where many gas stations have shut down as the land is so valuable, is gas delivery. Small tanker trucks driving around in the night, filling up peoples cars. Price is comparable to the gas station as well. Industries adjust.
Most metals can be recycled for a profit. Take a car battery in to the recyclers and see what they'll pay. Copper is another one that gets recycled straight off the pole along with manhole covers that are also recycled straight from the ground.
That's true for the original IBM PC as well. The processor could only address 1MB and drivers, video memory etc needed some of that address space. These limits all seemed fine at the time as maxing out memory was expensive. Perhaps in a decade we'll be bitching about the 16PB limit or whatever it is.
The point I was making was that clear rights are being infringed with the support of your Supreme Court. The 2nd is pretty clear, with a justification to be clear they were talking about arms in the military sense where really the only argument might be what are arms. Poison gas for example might no longer be considered an arm as it is internationally banned, whereas machine guns and cannon are obviously arms that would be needed by a militia.

Would poison gas pass as an arm as it is illegal in a militia setting unlike most weapons.

OK, fair enough.

Yes, it'll awkward for them. Get large quantities of diesel delivered if wealthy enough or burn something they can make themselves such as wood.

You also have to consider the cost of operating land fills. The one down the road is getting full and that's why they're pushing recycling.
