it is in no way a felony for someone to make(Including print) their own firearm. the problem comes if you try to sell that firearm.
from the atf website:
For your information, per provisions of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, an unlicensed individual may make a “firearm” as defined in the GCA for his own personal use, but not for sale or distribution.
Individuals manufacturing sporting-type firearms for their own use need not hold Federal Firearms Licenses (FFLs). However, we suggest that the manufacturer at least identify the firearm with a serial number as a safeguard in the event that the firearm is lost or stolen. Also, the firearm should be identified as required in 27 CFR 478.92 if it is sold or otherwise lawfully transferred in the future.
looking at it from a programming standpoint, we have laws prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment. to me the most important word in there is AND. Both conditions would have to be true for it to be excluded. If we catch a mass murderer who uses a chain saw as his weapon of choice, and take his victims as a sample set, it may be extremely cruel to use a chainsaw to execute him, but it is certainly usual, so it would pass the test as a valid method of punishment
i had always heard the red was the first color that humans would be unable to distinguish at night(shortest wavelength of visible light) so more likely to have nighttime accidents. one of the reasons they repainted the firetrucks around here baby-poop green

the way I look at it for the first time in a LONG time, there is someone I see as worth voting FOR(Ron Paul) as opposed to the normal "Well I guess this guy might possibly be as bad as the other guy...I hope". Even if he doesn't win I'm not sure I could live with myself knowing that I had the chance to vote for someone like him, and didn't take it
as one of my friends says...
"Vote like you have a pair"
right, because all the cigarette users are out their mugging people for their next fix... if the drugs were legalized it would increase the supply(and quality) of what was available. even with the taxes they would pile on them, you don't have to worry about paying back you supplier before he sends guido to do some convincing, and he doesn't have to increase his price do to high business costs(jail time putting him out of business for a while)...see the solution?
ATMs dispense what their programming tells them they have(i.e. slot 0 has 20's, slot 1 has 10's, etc) a large portion of banks load their ATMs with all 20's, so they do not need to be maintained as much. it looks like someone used an unchanged master code to login to the administrative menu of the ATM and set it up with a different denomination in the stacks(lets say $5) that way when someone said I want 20 dollars, the machine would say ok i need to give them 4 $5 bills and would dispense 4 bills from slot 0, which actually contains 20's, so whoever uses it gets $80 instead of $20

The Wall Street Journal did some of their own calculations, which challenge the energy-saving claims of Blackle. In a blog post from May, they point out that the "savings are most likely to accrue from older CRT (cathode-ray tube) monitors, rather than the more modern, energy-efficient LCD (liquid crystal display) screens that dominate the market (representing three quarters of all monitors world-wide as of last year, by some estimates)." They did some tests using Blackle, Google and the New York Times on a CTD and LCD monitor and found the difference "so slight as to be within the margin of error for the power meter"
given that:
1. the majority of monitors in the market today are LCDs
2. that their backlight is always on when there is anything to display
3. the default state of the screen is transparent(so you can see the white reflector behind the glass)
4. in order to change the pixels to opaque you have to pass current through them
isn't it possible that the savings you get from the 1/4 of the CRTs in the entire market viewing google would be at least offset by the additional power required by the 3/4 lcds (which I would guess are more likely to have internet access than the CRT monitors)?
