Illegal search and seizure. How about a no-knock warrant served on the wrong address where they come in shooting? Just the knowledge that the population is armed so the government has to be wary of the population proves that civilian firearm ownership is a deterrent to overstepping.
Up where I live, firearms are good for keeping the wildlife at bay.
Permit to purchase rifles and shotguns? No. Registration of rifles and shotguns? No. Licensing of owners of rifles and shotguns? No. Permit to carry rifles and shotguns? No. Handguns Permit to purchase handgun? No. Registration of handguns? No. Licensing of owners of handguns? No. Permit to carry handguns? Yes.
I don't jail time is needed, it'll just cost tax payers and do what, punish the people when they've got to deal with the guilt and stigma of what happened?
Thats like being surprised that a race car driver doesn't know all the models and changes from the big automotive companies.
Do F1 drivers know what changes are being made to 2011 BMW, Toyota, GM, Hyundai/Kia and Fords? Do NASCAR drivers know what is coming out from Mercedes, BMW, Ferrari, Ford?
Can most race car drivers assemble a car motor or can fighter pilots put together a jet engine?
The mainstream Republicans are not "lunatic right-wingers". Mainstream Republicans are the folks who engaged the People's Republic of China, believe trade is good, don't like abortions but don't call people names over it.
The National Review crowd generally are "main stream Republicans".
Tea Bag Party is a spin to the right of the "main stream Republicans".
"Lunatic Right Wingers" are your Ron Paul types, you can find them over at Lewrockwell.com and past them to the right killing Abortion Doctors.
Saying all Republicans are "lunatic right-wingers" is like saying all Democrats are "lefty moonbats who commit eco-terror and are vegan".
The fringy folks who spin more paleo-conservative call moderate Republicans like Scott Brown, or back in the day, Mark Hatfield or Teddy Roosevelt RINOs.
"In 1912, former President Theodore Roosevelt, then-President William Howard Taft and Senator Robert LaFollette fought for ideological control of the Republican Party and each denounced the other two as "not really Republican." The Taft faction went on to control the national ticket until 1936."
And if people don't produce enough, well they can just be denied food. Especially the people in rural areas, how dare they keep food from the working masses in the Blue States. We will send folks that are anti-socialist to Montana or Alaska.
Look how well socialist progress worked for Northern Ireland with the brilliant DeLorean Motors project, or how the kibbutz and moshav systems are spreading like wildfire in Israel. Look at how changing gears has bridged the divide between the rural and urban classes in China.
Exactly, everything is so polarized now that people like Reagan or TR would either be called a "lefty" or a "fascist", theres no more "in the middle" in US politics.
There'll be more of a connection between social standing and life experiences to liberalism and atheism than IQ. I have a pretty high IQ to be honest, so here are my experiences.
I grew up in a home where religion was never ever talked about even though my grandmother was treasurer of the church. I was atheist from a young age, 4 or 5 is when I recall a conversation coming up with my uncle's new wife. Cancers and other experiences kept me on that path, but I'm not anti-religous, I understand its role in society.
Politically I'm a moderate, which for most people on/. means I'm either a right-wing nutjob or a RINO lefty. Whatever. Politics are framed from my life's history.
Take it to an urban renewal conversation. This is about a flaw in an automobile, this is effecting people today, campaigning for mass transit, while a good idea, isn't going to help with the immediate problem, it'll help with problems 10-20 years down the road.
Cars are the leading cause of death from 1-34, but after that its cardio and cancers. And the firearms stats aren't all murders and suicides - Firearms Statistics Include Gang Warfare, Self Defense Shootings and Criminals Killed by Police.

If its an illegal gun, or one reported stolen then the police will tell the DA about it and charges will be filed.
Explain how the Second Amendment is misguided and how the USSC misinterpreted it in Heller v District of Columbia.
One doesn't need a license to have a firearm in Tennessee.

Savory is umami.
No cause a jet engine is more simple.
No, the idea that someone who uses an advanced tool should know how to build one or put one together is foolish.

Similar to Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia then. Interesting.
Bah.
I work for the Government. Well a state government here in the US, Alaska, and we are pretty darned effective.
Less overhead than other public service I've worked, still a bit more than private sector though.

I've worked Union and non-Union heck I'm working Union now.
I'll keep throwing FUD around.
I don't like labor unions.
From the bit above, it looks like the first uses for this are going to be skin and muscle, so for reconstructive surgery it'll be a boon.
Then I reckon it'll do tendons, so maybe shoulders and knee repairs
Poster said Germany exports 300% of what China does. Not that German workers produce 300%.
As far as per capita GDP goes, the US still leads Germany.

300% of China?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_exports
People's Republic of China $1,194,000,000,000
Germany $1,187,000,000,000

I liked the idea of doping prescription narcotics with pepper so that the abusers couldn't abuse it.
My buddy just switched out the battery and screen for $60 US, sure thats close to 1/3rd the price, but its almost two years old.
My iPhone went up the Alaska Highway. It survived the crazy truckers at near Watson Lake.
Then I support Google leaving China.

Why not? It's come in waves and left in waves over the last 200+ years.
Evangelicalism is just another wave washing up on shore.
5:1 - 3:1 is still a net profit.
"By now, it has become evident that we are facing an energy problem — while our primary sources of energy are running out,"
No, a primary easy source is running out, rock oil, we have like 40-80 years of that left.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum#Future_of_petroleum_production
Shale oil, well theres a ton of that out there, if the world wanted to, they'd be able to access that. The US has about 1,750,000,000,000 barrels
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum#Consumption_statistics
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_shale_reserves#Definition_of_reserves
And there is a ton of natural gas, and shale gas and coal, not to mention fission, solar, and/or wind.
So, no we are not running out of our primary sources of energy.
