They don't need to go that far, they just need to make it clear that they know who's really donating the money to them, and thank 3taps, rather than Craigslist for the money.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Legitimate gun owners do more to stop mass shooters
Anyone who wants to take a couple of tons of steel and plastic out on the highway at 65 mph has to prove they can even drive.
Asking the same of gun owners shouldn't be that prohibitive. There's nothing inherently wrong with expecting people to have actually learned how to safely use the things they take out in public. Innocent bystanders should be allowed to assume they have.
It'd sure be nice if the FBI would look into conspiracies to defraud like this. It'd also be nice if those writing the laws would wake up to see what they've created and what is continuing to be enabled by their damage.
whereas the US is saddled with over fifty when you add in things like Guam and Puerto Rico).
I don't think they would get a vote.
Maybe you should ask the other states for their opinion. In this situation, DC (fed) rules don't apply.
Hell, Texas might want to realign with Central America, and Wash. State and Oregon with BC, Canada for all we know. The future's wierd. Stranger things have happened.
I had this very long, well written response to your paranoid rant (you're always entertaining :-), but then it occured to me a drone might be targetting your location at that moment, so what would be the point?

You have to assume that the enemy will discern your methods in short time, especially if they have any success.
I believe the OPM hack was done with old tech, then an IDS vendor gave them a demo of their latest work. Good for the IDS vendor, but it could have been stopped years ago if the machines were up to date, and many weren't.
Cheaping out on support costs is all the rage this century. We try to bake in infallibilty at manufacture, then ignore complaints and pray to "planned obsolescence."
Instead, the spooks are way to interested in snooping on everybody instead of slowing down or stopping the terrorists by making it too hard for the plots to develop.
Ya know, the controversy in the 80's looking back over the Vietnam War sort of fingered the efficiency experts who'd recently gained control of the Pentagon and White House for having been among the prime factors in failure to win. "Body count" is irrelevant when your commanders are padding it with innocent water buffalos or women and children running from gunships.
We're back to them taking the easy (and stupid) way out, yet again. History repeats, if we refuse to learn from it. This's been a lousy century so far.

It took the form of a full-blown DOJ investigation, involving 25 FBI agents and five prosecutors. This too, resulted in a whole lot of nothing.
I wonder what that cost. It sounds very expensive. Yet Snowden had to flee his country for telling his fellows about it. This regime (gov't the world over ca. 1800 onward, end of The Enlightenment) has a lot to answer for. I hope for the best (but expect the worst). I wonder if anyone in Vegas tracks the odds on when it'll happen.

They're into outright spitting on the citizenry these days. They can't be bothered with trying to hide the truth with lies anymore. We're all such a tedious bore to them now, more than ever, or that's how it looks to me.
The sad thing is once you get to about your sixth decade, you've seen them pull this before over and over again so it's no surprise. Twenty-somethings are too young to have even noticed it happening (they're too busy growing up).
I can guarantee the pattern will repeat. The only rosy spot in this is old people tend to care about voting. The young, not so much. On the other hand, the youngsters aren't the ones staring Alzheimers in the face.

You'd think the Brits ought to know how to do this by now. They don't like the existing law, so they send it to a committee, they do some research, propose a replacement, pull the old law and stick its replacement in its place, lather, rinse, repeat.
Or, they're just being tyrants and treating their constituents like one enormously annoying bother which isn't worth their time once the election is over. What a racket.
Hey, no need to tar the whole species all for a few knuckle draggers. In fact, I very much doubt any of the perps are female which leaves you owing an entire gender an apology.
The US certainly is exceptional in many ways. Go big or don't go (no, I won't quote Yoda). So, we've got a Race War boiling over (again!) south of the 49th parallel. I thought we fixed that when the Woodstock Generation got loud, or maybe when Rodney King wound up in the news. You even made MLK's birthday a national holiday. Didn't the South get the memo?
