Jordan had the best HIV and AIDS preventative treatment in the world. and even common people are living for decades without going into terminal immune states if they have the insurance to afford the hundreds of thousands of dollars in treatments. HIV is now something that one can be expected to live a long life with if they stick to a strict treatment plan. That is a terrible example.
What areas of scientific inquiry are simply forbidden as you say?
To say that the "atheists" were "anti-science" in the day because they were skeptical of untested hypothesis with little evidence is ludicrous. That is part of science. The static universe hypothesis came out of Einsteins general relativity equations in the 1910's. It was then tested in the only way possible, by attempting to measure the expansion / contraction of the universe. The hypothesis was found to be flawed when it appeared that the universe was expanding. Then came the big bang theory to explain that expansion in the 1920's along with several other hypotheses. Continued measurements demonstrated that the Big Bang theory was the closest, yet it was still flawed because the distant universe is expanding faster than the closer universe. So the big bang theory has been altered with "dark matter" and we are currently in the process of trying to figure out how in the hell we are going to test that.
Being wrong doesn't make you anti-science any more than being right makes you pro-science. It is the methods you use to arrive at your conclusions and your willingness to accept change in the face of contrary evidence that make on pro-science.
Not really, failure to bow before god will lose you an election in most of the country unless your opponent chooses to not publicly attack you on the topic for some reason.
And the 10th amendment has been held to not allow states to violate the rights granted to the people by bill of rights. The local and state police can not perform searches without warrant and probably cause any more than federal law enforcement can. So that argument stands.
There are some regulations that a state government can not apply to the right to bear arms under the US constitution through any means. And there are some regulations that the federal government can apply to the right to bear arms under the US constitution through a variety of means. The exact nature, limits and methods of those restrictions are up for debate, but those basic facts are not.
I do not place "states rights" above peoples rights. No state nor the federal government can ban guns under the 2nd amendment. But both are capable of making laws regulating guns, and in order to serve the public welfare some regulations are in order. I would prefer a national standard, so that that everyone has equal protection and so that I have equal protection wherever I go.
That is one of the hardest thing to prevent, and can't really be prevented if someone is dedicated enough. Though I would note that the waiting period that many states have for retail sales is aimed at giving people time to cool off. I don't particularly support waiting periods for that purpose, but I don't find them to be an unreasonable infringement either.
1: constitutionally, the bill of rights restricts the power that BOTH state and federal governments have to restrict the peoples rights. If the federal government can not place "any" restrictions on firearms, neither can the states. The 2nd amendment shouldn't be treated any different than the 1st, 4th, 5th, etc.
2: I've spent most of my life moving from state to state. I don't have any place to call home more than any other. And I would rather the entire country be free and reasonable. If one state has unreasonably restrictive laws (gun bans) an another has unreasonably loose restrictions (as an absurd example, everyone is required to carry a fully loaded ak-47 and rpg at all times) then my freedom to travel to or even through those states may be restricted.
3: The right to bear arms in the 2nd amendment is an individual right, independent of the membership in any kind of official militia. The meaning of militia at the time of the American Revolution was every draftable person residing in the state (able bodied adult white males), and considering the fortunate progress of liberties over the years bring recognized for include women, other races, etc the idea of the militia in the second amendment would now include people in general.
I am what a lot of people might call a gun nut. But I don't have any problem with things like registration, training requirements, background checks or (minor) delays.
People should be allowed to own and use rifles, shotguns and pistols with minimal requirements.
People should be allowed to conceal-carry pistols after demonstrating a sufficient knowledge of safe and responsible firearm usage and state self defense law.
People should be allowed to own and use (though not necessarily public carry) fully automatic weapons for entertainment and sporting purposes after they have demonstrated sufficient knowledge of safe and responsible use of potentially indiscriminate weapons.
But I don't want nutjobs running around with guns thinking they are in a bad comic book movie.
And I don't want idiots running around with guns with a video camera, thinking that saying "i'm gonna stand my ground" allows them to shoot someone for playing their stereo to loud.
And I don't want some asshole running out and buying a gun so he can go home and shoot his wife, kids and himself 15 minutes after getting fired.
I was considering something like this a few years ago. But instead I went with conventional air cooling inside an ornately carved wooden case instead.

Wrong. It has and is being researched.
Why would I want a downward moving "descent" user interface?
I actually prefer eclipse to visual studio. VS could be a lot better than they are if they did a few minor tweaks.
Its a mixed bag of nuts on that topic.

That is hilarious.
Being right doesn't mean you win.
Proving your opponent wrong doesn't mean you win if they don't accept it.
There are only 2 ways to win an argument:
You bring your opponent over to your point of view and they agree with your superior logic and evidence.
You are brought over to your opponents position and agree with their superior logic and evidence.
Are you suggesting that the earth is the center of the solar system?

Ugh. bad wording.
"rights granted" should have been "rights recognized", the constitution does not grant rights.
And the 10th amendment has been held to not allow states to violate the rights granted to the people by bill of rights. The local and state police can not perform searches without warrant and probably cause any more than federal law enforcement can. So that argument stands.

The guy with a 3d printed plastic gun is more of a danger to himself than anyone else. No need to worry.

Isn't Salvador Dali the one who did that painting of the chick with a uni-brow and mustache?

This is true, because they are too busy trying to track down the memory leaks they caused.
Memory footprint is Java's other issue.
It's not so bad now that desktops have multiple gigs of ram, but on mobile and embedded systems it can still pose problems.

And you have no evidence it is false either.
All I have to go on the "authority" of a guy calling himself Chuckster, vs a number of police officers and a judge.
If you want me to believe you, you have to back that up.
All I have to go on are the words of police officers and judges in Mississippi.
II don't know the magic words to google for it one way or the other.
If you expect to outweigh that first hand account, you are the one who needs to show some evidence.
