If overturned, the ruling could have a chilling effect on federal regulators. https://www.thetrace.org/2024/10/supreme-court-ghost-guns-kits-vanderstok/ {Alain Stephens | 07 October 2024} The U.S Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on October 8 to determine whether the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives overstepped in effectively outlawing certain kits used to make homemade, untraceable ghost guns.

ETA: Beat me to it. You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to acptulsa again.

The concept underlying the expression "1 + 1 = 2" is necessarily true for all people in all places at all times. The concept underlying the expression "Joe is a murderer" is not necessarily true for all people in all places at all times. All reasonable people, for all times and all places, must necessarily accept, accede to, and agree with the meaning expressed by the statement "1 + 1 = 2", regardless of whatever other particular set of symbols and system of nomenclature might be substituted at the "surface level" to denote the abstractions underlying the elements of the statement. IOW: It is always and everywhere unreasonable to reject the "ship" (i.e., the underlying meaning) of the expression "1 + 1 = 2", regardless of how the semantic deck chairs might be arranged. On the other hand, when it comes to normative and/or transcendental matters (such as those relating to the concepts of "law" and "crime"), reasonable people can and will disagree - on an essential level much more fundamental than the transient contingencies of mere symbols and nomenclature - about what "ought" to be, or about how such things "ought" to be understood. With regard to such matters, one can certainly adopt presuppositions and definitions such that - from within the context of those "axiomatic" elements - certain propositions must necessarily hold true. But other reasonable people who do not share those presuppositions and definitions will not necessarily be compelled to accept, accede to, or agree with those propositions (or the "axiomatic" elements from which they are derived). IOW: One cannot reasonably reject the concept presently denoted by the expression "1 + 1 = 2", but one might reasonably reject the concept presently denoted by the expression "Joe is a murderer". To put things in terms of Feynman's empirical/positive/non-normative discussion of magnetism, one cannot reasonably dispute that the opposite poles of magnets attract (regardless of what symbols, labels, and nomenclature one might arbitrarily adopt in order to describe or express the fact). The question of whether the opposite poles of magnets attract (and under what circumstances they might not) is an "objective" one, and is existentially bound up with the essential identity of "magnets" as distinct from other things - but the question of why they attract (in the sense in which Feynman means "why" in this particular instance) is not. To address the former question is to engage in "science" (specifically, "physics"). To address the latter question is to engage in "philosophy" (specifically, "metaphysics").

"Wouldn't it be crazy if one of the richest lithium deposits in the world was right outside of Asheville North Carolina?" Why would that be "crazy"? :confused: "Wouldn't it be crazy if the largest lithium mining company in the world 3 days before the flood began, submitted the permits for their mine right outside Asheville North Carolina?" Why would it be "crazy" for a company that mines stuff to submit permits to mine that stuff in a place where lots of that stuff is at? And how would it be any more "crazy" than if the permits had been applied for a week - or a month, or a year, or whatever - before the flood began? For that matter, how would it be any more "crazy" than if the the permits had been applied for a week - or a month, or a year, or whatever - after the flood began? If "3 days before" is "crazy", then at what point (before or after) would it not be "crazy"?

Hurricanes during hurricane season? ZOMG!1!! It's a plot! :eek: :rolleyes:

Is that even a real picture? It seems a bit uncanny. It looks like the helicopter is floating just above the water. And if it's not, why would they land in such a spot?

TYT Is Still LYING About Kyle Rittenhouse https://odysee.com/@actualjusticewarrior:2/tyt-is-still-lying-about-kyle-2:b {Actual Justice Warrior | 02 October 2024} In this video I discuss a recent insanely dumb smear against Kyle Rittenhouse by a TYT offshoot show called the Damage Report.

That reminds me of another example of "We're from the government, and we're here to help ...":

Please let this be true. A tar-and-feathering (optionally followed by a running-out-of-town-on-a-rail) is probably too much to hope for. But this would be a start ... "People should not be afraid of their governments; governments should be afraid of their people."

You are welcome, comrade! Voting hard is the most powerful tool in our arsenal, and the urge to deploy it in conjunction with other tried-and-true weapons (such as SWLODs) is a mighty (indeed, nigh irresistible) temptation - but for the sake of Our Democracy, which is fragile and likely cannot withstand such potent combinations, we must restrain ourselves, lest we destroy that which we hope to salvage. Let us instead endeavor to keep our minds upon our labors, and to leave matters of the State to the State.
