  1. Re:4th amendment on Do You Have a Right To Use Electrical Weapons? · · Score: 1

    I did mean the 2nd. Why should I have to read The Federalist Papers to decipher the meaning of the amendment, the amendment should be self explanatory?

  6. 4th amendment on Do You Have a Right To Use Electrical Weapons? · · Score: 1

    The 4th amendment is not very clear and I interpret it two ways. The first is that it allows for a common community cache of weapons for community defensive use. Or, it allows an individual to own any type of weapon made. If the founding fathers meant for the amendment to allow for the people to defend themselves from a tyrannical government then the second interpretation is the one I would lean toward since the only way to defend against a nuclear state is to have nuclear weapons of your own.

    I'm not an Apple fanboy, I own both Android devices and Apple devices. Why don't you buy an Apple phone the problem you describe which I have seen on many Android devices does not happen on Apple devices, they rarely crash.

    Why did "mega-corporate bitch" Obama introduce new carbon emissions rules in June that will cost energy producers a fortune?

    Wouldn't it be better to just build the solar cell into the carport so it can charge a battery all day while the car is driving around, then plug the car into the carport to be charged by the battery at night?
