OPFOR doesn't always mean bad foreign terrorists. OPFOR means opposing force, it can be anyone, including members of the US military in alternative uniforms, civilians in civilian clothes, etc.
The US Supreme Court ruled on this in 2008 with DC v Heller.
Arms does not mean weapons. Weapons are what the military uses, arms are what US citizens have the right to keep and bear. It's spelled out in the majority opinion.
"The term was applied, then as now, to weapons that were not specifically designed for military use and were not employed in a military capacity. For instance, Cunningham’s legal dictionary gave as an example of usage: “Servants and labourers shall use bows and arrows on Sundays, &c. and not bear other arms.”'
If you and the rest of the world don't like how the Second Amendment is enacted in the United States at the Federal or state level, come over and make us stop it.
The US is just one vector for firearms into Mexico, M-16s with selective fire in Mexico will be coming from Mexican law enforcement, the military or other Latin American countries since you can't buy an M-16 in the United States for under 3500 dollars and a metric ton of paperwork.
There was alot of tape destruction and data loss in early TV, like pretty much the entire DuMont network, a ton of black and white stuff from the 40s, 50s and 60s.
Sure I create a ton of data during a day, but alot of those numbers are artificially high, I go out and google search and get hits back, all those google logo, ads on the side, those go millions of times a day, so is that "information" created each time it's uploaded and then downloaded?
So would information created in 1500 include the audio information of a town cryer? And how do we measure that bandwidth?
Saying things like "we create more information every hour than the Roman Empire did during the entire reign of Augustus" is kind of nonsense on a number of levels./. in 2300 More p0rn is created every nano-second than was ever downloaded from 2000-2010.
The bulk of information created before the advent of the Printing Press has been lost. We only have fragments of data from the Roman Republic and Western Empire. Same goes for a host of empires and states.
We create more bytes of data and more copies of data while we track things much closer, we really don't know what was created before. We don't know all the works of art, mundane information and data saved by the Romans, Greeks, Han, Aztecs, Maya, Egyptians or Celts, or any of the thousands of other civilizations.
The first SUV was the Suburban, in 1935, the Land Cruiser does not predate that.
Saying there were no SUVs until the term came out doesn't work.
I mean the P-51 is a fighter, even though the US called them pursuit, it doesn't mean the USAAF didn't have fighters until 1948 when the USAF came up with the F designation for fighter.
Tool box - thats like 100 pounds 5,000 pound jack (2) 30 foot log chain Full sized spare tire Enclosure and speakers Tire iron (2) 50 pound sand bag (4)
"That's silly. Have you ever worked with a small municipal Government? They aren't the Feds or State -- they can't print/borrow massive amounts of money. A large legal settlement would most definitely be felt by the police and all other municipal departments."
Speed traps, red light cameras and photo radar are money printing schemes for small governments, especially speed traps along 2 or 4 lane highways.
Umm, the Clinton administration escalated and carried out just as many acts of war as the Bush administration did, yet for pointing that out we are "hung up on Clinton"?
Somalia escalation in 1993 Branch Davidian assault in 1993 Haitian invasion and occupation Numerous strikes on Iraq Strikes on Afghanistan Bosnia Strikes on the Sudan Serbia Desert Fox
The casus belli for the 1999 was much weaker than the casus belli for Operation Iraqi Freedom, yet Bush has been getting hammered on it for 7 years now.

The war is alot less sanitized now, Desert Shield and Storm were very limited, but with the practice of embedding more information comes out now.
Nope, they are their own crappy company.

Or just legalize and decriminalize possession of those drugs. Much easier.
No, Monster Cable charges top dollar and everyone gripes.
Apple's products really don't cost that much more.
I'm in favor of legalizing and then taxing (at least the income from selling) weed, and hallucinogenics.
We'd have to legalize Meth production too. Not sure I'm ready to go that far
But everything you say, including the deleted border closing paragraph, I agree with.
Trying to ban firearms or a class of firearms always gets attention and instant opposition.
They are part of the nation's history and founding mythologies, plus rights of possession are in the Constitution.
Would you support the ending of free speech for one type of speech, say newspapers or the Internet?
This. I'm in Alaska and didn't go out into the Bush much this year because all my firearms were in storage in Washington.
Now that I've flown my guns up, will be much more comfortable going out hiking and fishing.
Take a shower, groom yourself and don't pass out in parks with a needle sticking out of your feet and you won't be looked down upon.

And the bulk of the people alive today create no digital or analog data.
One doesn't need to have writing to have information or culture.

And the F-117 is a bomber but has a fighter designation.
The Land Cruiser has been called an SUV since the term SUV came into widespread use.
The first SUV was the Suburban, in 1935, the Land Cruiser does not predate that.

Not every SUV is "weaksauce".

I know I have a bunch of crap in my truck.
Tool box - thats like 100 pounds
5,000 pound jack (2)
30 foot log chain

Enclosure and speakers
Tire iron (2)

How do they know it's passenger weight gain? Cars got heavier between 1960 and 1974, then the rise of SUVs and minivans from about 1985 on.

True. Even the Mitrokhin Archive was gone over and analyzed before it was published.
Fascinating books.

George Bush, but not Clinton for bombing Iraq, overthrowing the government of Haiti, war with Serbia? Not Vladimir Putin? Dig up Pol Pot?
