The second amendment of the U.S. constitution guarantees the rights of citizens to bear arms. Many liberals support stricter gun laws so that there are stronger background checks, limits, etc in order to try and reduce mass shootings, etc. The right wing folks are generally the opposite, trying to remove limits and make them accessible.

So no, you cannot evoke the second amendment as a defense for shooting anyone. It would only be a potential legal defense against laws limiting gun ownership. The second amendment says you can own a gun, not that you can shoot people with them.

As for the state’s monopoly on violence, that pretty much stands except in clear cut cases of self defense. So if someone were to shoot an ICE agent (and survive the situation to make it to trial), it would have to be some pretty extraordinary circumstances that would allow the person to avoid conviction of a crime.

Finally. THIS is the content I’m here for.

OP was in another post trolling about “Darth Vader did nothing wrong” despite many people pointing out that he did in fact murder children and that is pretty wrong. I think they are just a downvote troll.

Same for me. I really really dug the atmosphere, art, all of it. But I got to mid game and it just felt like a slog all of a sudden. Kept putting it off and then never came back to it.

Same for me, I must love everything I see.

Ok fair point.

So two thoughts:

1. Get more comfortable with making these people wait. You want an email to give me a better price? That’s fine it will take me a minute to lookup my email address. It’s actually not that bad once you get used to doing this. I do it religiously now when I’m traveling and it’s never been an issue.

2. Consider using DuckDuckGo’s email feature. They will quickly generate human-friendly throwaway addresses like “geek-rhino-spoon” at duck dot com. I have the ddg browser on my phone and once you have it set up, it takes just a second to search “ddg email” and first link goes to the page that generates a new address for you. So it’s super quick to do on the fly. When they forward emails to you, there is a banner at the top with a link to deactivate that throwaway address you used should you start getting spam. It’s pretty slick in my experience.

Edit: fixed a typo

Excellent examples, thanks. Your last line nails on the head where my thoughts are at these days.

Excellent history lesson, cheers.

There are plenty of Christians out there capable of impartiality

Just want to point out that going to Suriname is going the wrong direction if you are trying to reach the USA. Also even IF the boat had drugs and IF it was destined for the USA, it seems like this would be a job for a coast guard vessel to intercept and arrest the smugglers. Just executing random people in the ocean because they might be smugglers is murder.

This might be obvious to you dear reader but I feel like we need to say these things loudly and often.

I mean it’s not nescessarily bullshit. FaceTime is end to end encrypted if I recall correctly so it could be used for anything. But this is completely ludicrous for other reasons. If the terrorists start passing notes do you ban pencil and paper?

You reminded me of this wisdom from Gandalf:

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Just something someone with a worm brain would do.

Steve from Gamers Nexus has a solid video where he met with people about Valve and goes into a lot of details on the announced hardware. He reported that they told him that the Steam Machine is not aiming for a console price. This made sense to him as he pointed out it’s basically an ITX computer and you can do computer things with it. Anyway I don’t know what it will cost but I’m guessing north of $500 easily.

I charge Amelia Vanderhorst with being a legend.

I’m just noticing that the media doesn’t have to use the passive voice about criminal allegations when it decides not to.

Spokane international is on the list as well which is a little surprising as that is an area that favors Republicans in elections.
