Maybe it's time for legislatures to consider passing laws that have jurisdiction based on population density?

AR-15s should be illegal to possess anywhere there is a population density > n / 550m, where n is the number of individuals with control over use of the weapon...
iow, if a group is out hunting or target shooting, members of that group willingly place themselves within range of the weapon.

IOW, weapons possession should be a consent-based arrangement, and no one should be in range of a weapon without consent.
that would mean you can possess weapons for self-defense in urban areas, but not weapons designed for mass casualties.

that would mean individual municipalities could define their own consent structures, but not foist them upon other municipalities.
transport of weapons through jurisdictions should require pre-permitting of said weapon with local law enforcement for transport purposes... else, possession of any weapon that is illegal to possess in any given jurisdiction should be fully prosecuted
and individuals violating those laws should be permanently prohibited from possessing weapons in the future.
There you go.

Let the citizenry decide what laws should exist to protect themselves, and enforce compliance with those coming in from outside.
You want an AK? Get yourself 400 acres somewhere in the country and bring your buddies to go crazy.

But don't think you can bring it into to a populated area where there are 16,000 people within your 1km shooting range who don't consent to you having that weapon.

Oh boy! First Hastert, now Barry.....

Yorkvile is about to go through some.... things.
Again.
I'm guessing "Smoking Butts" and "Porkville" will have a new meaning for little Barry now.

Kind of interesting how so many 33 year old members of the GOP are being busted by the feds this year.

So, this one is gonna take a while to get my head around... but I've found something that contradicts the reporting below already, though I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not... washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
Global Resource Systems has been associated with the Plantation, FL address since 2006, @craigtimberg & @PaulSonne

It seems they were active from 2006 - 2013.search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/Corpor…
Originally listed as an "online marketing service."

Interestingly, seems to be a Florida-based entity linked to an operation at 676 N Michigan Ave, Chicago. (suite 3900).

It's been known for a while that he's a child sexual predator, but I'd gotten tips that he was gonna... go through some things, so I waited for a mainstream outlet to drop the news.

I'm a democrat & a Democrat, and I think that we SHOULD do anything for power - for power to be returned to the PEOPLE.

I think that the Supreme Court needs more justices.

I think that citizens should be able to secure a meeting with their representative once per term.
I think that every citizen should be able to book a 15 minute conversation directly with their congressional representative at least once a term.

Reps shouldn't have more constituents than they can meet with personally.
15 min appointments over 2 years ~16,000 constituents.
10 min appointments over 2 years ~ 24,000 constituents.

Originally, the number was set 1:30,000.

Currently, it's 1 rep to ~750,000 constituents.

THAT is the root of much of today's discontent, why $ buys access.

In no way am I trying to justify the shooting of Daunte Wright.
However, this document (case 27-CR-19-29850 via publicaccess.courts.state.mn.us/DocumentSearch), should be noted as it suggests a reason that the shooting officer was moved to draw any weapon at all.*
Again, the shooting can not be justified... but neither can the media reporting his outstanding warrant as simply 'marijuana-related' and failing to report for two full days on the more serious prosecution wherein he attempted to strangle a woman at gunpoint.
This delay in reporting gives those who intend to use fear as a weapon and exacerbate racial tensions - they relish the opportunity to to decry those justifiably outraged at LE treatment of black men...

I wonder...

Can the media - as corps or indivs- be sued for refusing to report on a matter of extreme significance national security and feigning ignorance- regardless of their actual intent - that facilitates a racketeering operation to conceal said national security threats?
Does refusing to report on a story that's, say, uncomfortable & likely to result in decreased ratings because some people will find the story morally intolerable make them, in effect, part of a protection racket by suppressing the story to ensure continued profits?
And, if the media's refusal to cover said story, yet willingness to address a fabricated, projected version that spins up a conspiracy movement, placing the blame for extremely similar acts on someone else ....

Would that ensure the media legally responsible for their choices?
