A ban on even semi-automatic weapons doesn't really help. Mass murders (4+ murders as a single event) have been around for awhile and 1900 to 1999 saw 909 instances including the 1966 Whitman tower sniper incident. That incident would have still been a mass murder without access to the semi-automatic Garand he used in the tower. He had bludgeoned and knife killed two people and used a shotgun to kill at least two other prior to getting up in the tower. However, without the Garand he would have still had the bolt action rifles accessible to him to commit the act with and the casualty count probably would not have deviated very much. In fact it might have been even higher since armed civilian Texans firing back at him forced him to seek cover and significantly reduce his angle of fire and with a ban they likely would not have had guns to perform such response early on.
It is quite possible that Amazon tossed wikileaks off their server in response to Ms. Clinton's announcement so they wouldn't have to deal with the hassle of the US government coming in and seizing their equipment.
You know.... proactively protecting their other paying customers from losing their hosted services and/or data by getting rid of a customer that creates a risk.
I don't imagine that a bilateral declaration of war requires that both participants declare war at the same time, simply that they have declared war on each other.
Shooting her while she slept probably indicates that her death was also premeditated. It doesn't appear to be that she caught him taking her guns and he shot her in reaction.
Well. Since the summary states this is an interplanetary probe and since I didn't RTFA to verify that is the statement that China issued. I must assume that China is lying since asteroids are not planets and thus this is not a valid interplanetary target.
I was under the impression that money-laundering requires the initial funds be illegally obtained.
Since the funds are legal, this should not run afoul of money laundering. Of course it doesn't do anything to keep Visa and Mastercard from just blocking transactions to this umbrella corporations.
The armor, from the front, does still provide additional protection since it's unlikely to take a bullet head on. Bullets hitting that portion are going to be hitting closer 6/10-7/10" of steel and the angle itself may make a deflection more likely. That said, it's still a death trap.
So your flight attendants ask passengers to not read books, magazines, or take naps so the passengers can be alert and attentive during takeoff/landing, right?
Japan has been employing the solution covertly for about 26 years now and openly for a few centuries before that.
Evidence suggests that a time traveler from the future arrived in Japan around 1547 and told the Japanese that they needs to construct boats to go out to the open waters to catch whale instead of being content with beached whales. The man was executed for impugning the local governor's honor but the idea implanted and it spread. In the 1570's the Japanese began going out to sea to catch whale and thus was born the whaling industry of Japan.
For the past 26 years Japan has been covertly continuing whale killing expeditions, knowing the dire future we face, under the guise of research expeditions.
Cars have had them for awhile now. I don't recall what year they've started showing up in a majority of models but suffice it to say the manufacturers never disclosed it and only recently were required to do so in car manuals.
That's a fairly loose definition of "any other rocket". A reasonable one would be any other rocket that could have been used. Saturns and N1s haven't launched in over 30 years.
Even early in the war the assassinations were a very real threat. The Imperial Japanese Army was the problem in most cases. Yamamoto was asked to move to a more secure location because of the potential that he would be assassinated over opposing the aggression of the IJA.
The Doolittle raid was a psychological attack. It was not something that we could replicate en masse, it required massive stripped of the bombers, and the bomb loads for the bombers did negligible damage to the Japanese.
Midway was weird. The US won predominantly because of better intelligence and some luck with the flight groups. The attack that sunk 3 of the Japanese flatops was an uncoordinated simultaneous attack which kind of overwhelmed anti-aircraft defenses for the flat tops. Had the uncoordinated attacks arrived separately the outcome very well could have been much different.
If CoH was bringing in profit, however small it was, then there was no good reason to shut it down, no matter what "strategy" they're trying to go for. You can't push players from one game to another - MMOs don't work like that. They'll play both or none at all, and neither game has little bearing on which one that is.
This is not an entirely true statement, unfortunately other events make it more muddy.
CoH cost $X and was bringing in $Y revenue for a profit $Z. If by applying those same $X dollars to Project K and generating $A revenue and $B profit, if $B > $Z it makes sense to close down CoH and invest in Project K.
Your logic only works in an environment where you have infinite resources and time. The real world has neither.

Enforcing that would infringe the 4th Amendment.
We can conjecture all day long but IMHO, safes should be required "accessories" for responsible gun owners.
That an unenforceable edict. Attempting to do so would run hard against the 4th Amendment.

At 377,944km2 Japan exceeds all but Alaska, Texas, California, and Montana in land mass and Japan is only about 4000km2 smaller than Montana.

He didn't purchase any of the guns he used so a background check wouldn't matter. The purchaser and owner of all the weapons was his mother.

I would expect that it would provide a false sense of security.

Or into a busy airport where your gate is fucking occupied by another plane and you're sitting there waiting on the plane for 25 minutes.
It would be better than the inevitable baby that screams and cries for the entire 3-4 hour flight.

That pen is above that intern's security clearance. It must be a traitor.
