True, but none of those is exclusively used for gambling. You can play cards without gambling or even being in competition with another person, you can use dice to play monopoly and you can use poker chips to play poker without any money changing hands.
FTFA: "...But Stuart, who has been charged along with his wife and brother-in-law with one felony count for promoting gambling in New York through their software firm, says that his company sells the software only to entities outside the U.S. and that he’s not aware of anyone using it in the U.S. or using it to take illegal bets in the U.S."
What, people who get all terrified of scary looking guns freaking out over nothing? How is that dissonant with "no known threats"? Let them produce some actual threats before we conclude that this is more than just a newspaper whose editorial policy is hostile to gun owners trying to make gun owners look bad.
Because forced labor destroys the market for people performing the same services voluntarily. They subsequently wind up being paid for forced labor for the government instead of voluntarily doing the same work for a larger wage.
If witchcraft can be used to manufacture probable cause, law enforcement officials will be dancing in circles skyclad faster than you can say "I really didn't need that image in my head thank you very much."
Because a corpse cares how its assailant murdered it. NRA and Cato ignore the gun homicide rate because it is vastly less important than the _overall_ homicide rate. Which you ignore because it's inconvenient to your argument.
yes. In fact, most studies into the phenomenon of defensive gun usage conclude that there are millions of defensive gun uses per year. The lowest result is over 8 tens of thousands. That result, however, varies from other results by a wide margin (if, by wide, we're talking grand canyon). Interestingly, "wounded or killed offender" makes up 8.3% of all defensive gun uses.
Maybe, but if police officers petition the government to pass unconstitutional laws, we, the people, ought to be asking ourselves if those police officers are fit and proper persons to be defending it.
A better analogy would be you want your neighbors to put a camera in their houses and provide the video feed to the police so that the thief can be apprehended. Camera and internet connection so the video files can be uploaded to the police are to be paid for by your neighbors. If you can't tell what's wrong with that scenario, we have nothing to talk about as we have exactly zero common ground from which to discuss it.
Because polygraphs are a useful interrogation tool. Not because they can detect lies, but because an interrogator can elicit confessions by playing head games with the person being polygraphed.

They got fined millions of dollars in campaign contributions to both parties :)

Damn, I'd go to that casino. I'd probably pass on the cocaine, but whatever floats someone elses boat is all good.

Unless he's putting these things down his pants, I don't see the Darwin connection.
It's in the emanations and penumbras.

right. Because nobody _ever_ has a negative emotional reaction to police officers or rednecks. moron.

Bacon and eggs, a delicious combination of tasty, tasty murder and tasty, delicious, creamy abortions. mmmmmmmmm [drool]
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just curious: The Port Arthur gun laws are federal law; how does NSW water them down?
We imagined that making schools gun free zones would keep this sort of thing from happening.
So why don't these madmen randomly attack police stations and monster truck rallies?
MMMMMMMmmmmm looooong politician. Deeeeelicious ;)
They'll just seize every car that tests positive to drug residue under civil forfeiture and sell the cars. Easy money.
or keep both.

You're forgetting the "plain sight" exception. Written in invisible ink, apparently.

that's a relief.
Because putting them in jail makes their lives less miserable.
