That is an civil issue over licensing rules not an criminal case.
The two are not mutually exclusive. If you steal my wallet, that's a criminal case because the government has an interest in preventing theft, and it's a civil case because I want you to pay back the money you took. If you get drunk and rear end my car, it's a criminal case because the government has an interest in preventing drunk driving, and it's a civil case because I want you to pay for the damage and my injuries.
Licencing issues cross over into criminal territory when they involve fraud, or when you do it "willfully and for purposes of commercial advantage" (see Copyright Act, section 506). In practice, this means it becomes criminal when you cross over a loose threshold and make a business out of infringing copyrights. Which numbnuts here certainly did.
Some overdoses are suicides, some are accidental deaths. The accidental overdose deaths are usually lumped in with poisoning deaths, while the intentional ones are lumped in with suicides.
Accidental deaths overall make up about 150,000 per year, with some 40,000 of those being poisoning. Overdoses overall contribute 50,000 deaths.
The breakdown of the overdose deaths are hard to quantify but it seems likely that around 15-20,000 are suicides, and the remaining 30-35,000 are unintentional. Which would put unintentical OD on the same level as falling and car accidents, at 30,000 each.
Yes, drug deaths might be a problem, but apparently they're roughly as big a problem as accidentally falling down.
Clearly the US are well above the minimum level of guns, given that it has the most guns per capita of any country.
How exactly do more guns per capita affect anything? If I own 10,000 guns does that somehow make me more dangerous than if I only own one? How many guns do you imagine I can fire simultaneously?
It's a silly metric. The relevant number isn't guns per capita, it's gun OWNERS per capita. I have no clue why anti-gun people obsess about how many guns there are and completely ignore how many gun owners there are. It's like they're determined to be wrong about everything.
Strange, that foreigners know that and US citizens don't. Don't you think so?
No, I don't think there's anything strange about hubristic, condescending foreigners thinking they understand the second amendment better than US citizens.
Hell, in the 50s/60s they used to have gun clubs at most schools. And go look at a magazine from the era; they're chock full of rifle advertisements aimed at kids.
"Gee, pop, a Winchester!" - that ring a bell?
The OP is nuts if he thinks that regulations were tighter in the past, or that people were more opposed to private gun ownership.
I would much prefer to take the anti-gun side to it's logical conclusion; take away anything even remotely sharp or heavy from the general public, wrap everyone in a 2 foot thick layer of bubble wrap and kevlar, and require a licence for anyone who wants to leave their house. Think how safe we would all be!
So the definition isn't the definition? Nice. You sound like one of those "sovereign citizen" idiots who insist that the law isn't the law unless it agrees with their personal definitions.
Pasteurization is nothing more than heating to a specific temperature for a specific amount of time, something that kills both harmful and beneficial bacteria.
Yeah, you might want to look up the meaning of "processed". Yes, in includes pasteurisation. It includes pretty much anything you do to food, other than moving it around.
Spoilage alert: Celery powder contains MANY MANY nitrates. The correct solution is, unfortunately, "Don't eat any processed meat. Ever. Even though it's absolutely delicious. If they say it doesn't have nitrates, they're trying to trick you."
Sounds more like the correct solution is "don't eat celery". The vegans are gonna shit a brick.
Years ago we bought cheese and made pizza but whatever brand it was was absolutely terrible. The was a plastic film covering the melted "cheese". Needless to say, we didn't eat it and got a refund.
They're called "cheese slices", and you're supposed to take them out of the plastic wrappers before you put them on the pizza.
Must be working with one of them "progressive" dictionaries then. As soon as you succeed in reeducating the rest of humanity, we will all have no choice but to agree with you.
I do not think you would find resistance from the military if you organized a million man march hell bent on tearing the white house apart with torches rifles and grenades.
You would be wrong, then. The armies of first world nations generally do not operate like they do in whatever shithole you're from. We're not big on military coups.
Economic rules are not the same as physical laws. Physical laws exist regardless you believe in them. Economic rules are human rules. They can be changed. For example you can lower taxes for the rich or deprive people of healthcare.
This is the economics equivalent of "look, I can make a snowball, so global warming isn't real". The fact that you were moded +5 "insightful" is truly frightening.
Then you're an idiot. I'm not talking about individuals. This is government debt, and the government itself defines the meaning of those bits arbitrarily.
Never met an economics textook you couldn't eat, eh?
Because arable regions may shift faster than the plants can evolve to grow in them.
Right... that's why there aren't any European plants growing in the Americas. Because we can't just go ahead and plant them; no, they have to evolve first.
Because mass migration will cause significant upheaval and displacement of human society....and so on... and finally:
Because when the human race is confronted with a lack of something, it goes to war over it.
I deleted my account for similar reasons. Facebook these days seems to just be an outrage platform with different sides all screaming at each other and nobody listening. There are rarelyany useful discussions or exchanges of information going on, and when an interesting discussion does start up half the time it results in one side getting banned from whatever page you're on. Add to that the fact that Facebook has insanely inconsistent standards for what is and isn't acceptable, and the whole thing just becomes completely useless unless you're looking to just hang out in your own little ideological echo chamber.

That works just fine for them. If there is no contract then you are violating their copyright and they win by default.

Yeah, you're right. It's crazy how guns manage to keep shooting people all on their own. Serves you right for giving them artificial intelligence.

The EU has 60,000 suicides out of 551 million people.
The US has 43,000 suicides out of 323 million people.
Which perspective are we supposed to get?
I would much prefer to take the anti-gun side to it's logical conclusion; take away anything even remotely sharp or heavy from the general public, wrap everyone in a 2 foot thick layer of bubble wrap and kevlar, and require a licence for anyone who wants to leave their house.

Only if you don't read past the first two words I wrote.
So everyone agrees, then; it's already been done.

Oh. So if the police department purchased it using "free WiFi" funds, that would be cool then?

Quelle horreur.
The key difference between the two is that the national debt is little more than a pattern of bits on some spinning disks
Cool story bro. Tell the tax man you don't care about his spinning bits, and see what happens.
I'll take sea level rise any day.
Sorry, Donald, not all of us have tiny hands. My 5.7 inch LG phone fits just fine in one hand.
