Under the recent (and previous) law, interstate gambling on horse races is legal and Intrastate gambling on anything your state chooses to allow is also legal. So It's hard to argue that we permit no online gambling which is exactly what the US Government tried to tell the WTO.
No they don't have any right. This is simply the result of successful lobbying by the casinos. Since when does it matter if it is unconstitutional?
The American Gaming Assocation (MGM, Harrahs etc) is opposed to federal restrictions on online gambling... so who was lobbying for the casinos ? This was a leech/frist personal project.
I can't think of a single political call I've received recently that didn't have spoofed Caller ID... usually (000) 000-0000. It's easy to do if you're on a PRI circuit.
Did you just glance over the word not and pretend it wasn't there? Or did you just not read close enough?
No more than you just pretended the subsections requiring the organization to identify itself at the start of the call and provide a callback number weren't there. Did you even read the summary ?
"The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."
The point is that your body can only convert table sugar to fructose/glucose at a certain rate. Dumping fructose into your system directly bypasses this limiting factor.
If you want to argue semantics... immigration violations are not crimes, they're civil infractions. The reason for this is that the burden of proof on the government is lower. They don't have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that somebody broke the law.
I can see that you would be concerned if somebody's shed was likely to blow up on such a scale that shrapnel rains down over the area. However when we're talking about rocket propellents we're not talking about something that would do that. The stuff burns at around 5-15mm/s depending on composition. ATF seems to be attempting to peg the threshold for "explosion" somewhere lower than these numbers.
I want the guy with the fireworks factory in his garage to choose between going to prison for felony bombmaking activities, or putting a legitimate bond up front for whatever his neighbors think is appropriate. And that amount will be up to them, not him.
Why ?
Homeowners insurance covers most of the likely problems under the liability sections for damage you do to others. Why do my neighbors need to have a say in everything I do on my own property ?
Exactly... if they want rocket propellent regulations have congress pass a law (unlikely to happen) rather than trying to bend some existing law to cover it.
The FAA does an excellent job of regulating unmanned rockets. Check out FAR 101 for the rules. Any deviation from FAR101 requires a written waiver of the regulation from the FAA and issuance of a NOTAM so that air traffic is aware of the rocket launch. There's never been an incident involving a hobby rocket and an aircraft.
Oddly enough the FAA regulates what we're launching into the air and also sets limits on the rocket motors (specifically a burn time of 15 seconds or less, weight of rocket, materials etc. check out FAR 101) to minimize the risks. Any deviation from FAA limits requires a pre-approved awaiver of the restriction. So why do we need another government agency regulating us on top of that.
That asshat could find far cheaper and easier ways of doing it, than buying a material thats plainly not suited to make a bomb and then grinding it to a powder and adding other ingredients. Of course somebody intent on doing this could buy thousands of smaller unregulated motors.
NFPA codes don't require it because it's not a significant hazard... as a firefighter you should be able to find out information on the 'dangers' of APCP.
According to ATF's own figures APCP burns slower than bond paper. According to experts I've talked to it also burns a lot slower than the ATF says it does. Rcoket motors are gas generators you don't need rapidly burning propellent to generate gasses.
If most rocketeers don't oppose it, then why on earth are rocketeers funding the costs of a lawsuit to overturn the permit requirements. ATF has been stretching out this case for more than 6 years.
Oh and buy my T-shirts from the link below.... help support the cause.
And some fire marshals won't permit any explosives storage in their area at all so those rocketeers are hosed.
You can legally posess 50lbs of gunpowder without any permit or inspections according to ATF regulations. 50lbs of gunpowder is a heck of a lot more dangerous than a few rocket motors.

I thought that the character 'ß' is roughly equivalent to 'ss'
Hm. I live in Nice, and if your idea of a beautiful woman is one that chain-smokes and has more piercings than fingers, come on over.
Have you been back to the USA lately ?

I was talking about legal immigrants ... I'm sure the government makes even less available to illegal ones.
If you want to argue semantics ... immigration violations are not crimes, they're civil infractions. The reason for this is that the burden of proof on the government is lower. They don't have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that somebody broke the law.
Welfare generally isn't available to immigrants anyway unless they've worked here for 10 years or more.

Wow !! That must be quite a grill !!
APCP != AP. That explosion was not finished propellent.

Not really ... I can't personally see a need for 50lbs but then I don't use an antique cannon in historical re-enactments and such.
The premise of the explosives act is that it should not be unduly burdonsome to law abiding citizens.

I'm not sure that smokeless is limited at all. Black powder has a 50lb limit before you require an ATF permit.
