Anybody seeing second long camera position swaps?

As long as you and yours never leave the holler, you're fine.

Well then, in comparison to other, recent presidents, Biden's looking pretty good on the whole prisoner exchange thing from my perspective.

That's mean Mr Mustache talking. The operative part is where Trump didn't even try to get Whelan released ... ever ... during his term in office.

Well, well, well, look who fell down the well... https://nypost.com/2022/12/08/trump-turned-down-viktor-bout-for-paul-whelan-prisoner-swap-john-bolton/

If it's a spy for a spy that Russia wants to make a deal to free Whelan, the US could always send them Trump...

Well...

Clearly a chest wrap for 4.

That's not how Section 230 works.

That seems more mercenary and less civic minded than I would have given you credit for.

Yeah and a lot of the gun control laws are written by people who don't shoot. Is an AR15 more or less dangerous than a Mini14? That kind of thing. Going to the range. Gun found in a car. Purchasing a firearm at a gun store. Arrested carrying a firearm. Nothing is perfect and police don't pull over drivers simply to check their insurance, but more chances to take firearms from people who shouldn't have them is a good thing. One solution is that if you get caught with a firearm without a serial number, manufacturer's mark, made from 3D printed material, you get 20 years. ATF can manage another category along with fully automatic weapons, suppressors, etc.

Content moderation on a website? Zip and nada.

I'm not a big fan of the Tacticool/LARPerator industries that glamorize the stupidity around 'stand your ground' bullshit. Hordes of BLM protestors coming to your house to kill you is vastly less likely than random gun death, but whole industries support themselves through fear and hate mongering.

What happens if someone drives without auto insurance? What happens to a person who gives legal advice without being a lawyer? When they get stopped, penalties are worse. This isn't some new form of regulation? I agree. I don't think this will work in the short term. The tech isn't widespread and stable yet. Battery issues... But some sort of 'node-locked license' where only the registered owner can use the firearm would be a welcome addition. 3D printing of firearms is already getting regulated. I think it will be get even more scrutiny in the near future.

Interesting side note from electoral-vote.com:

Like auto insurance. If you have risk factors, your premiums are higher. https://sanjosespotlight.com/san-jose-gun-owners-need-liability-insurance-in-2023-firearms/ It's a baby step. What I would hope for is that the vast bulk of law abiding firearm owners would have a long term, nearly negligible insurance cost, but people with criminal convictions, stolen weapons that were improperly secured, small children who got access to unsecured/no triggerlock/no action lock firearms, kids who take guns to schools, straw purchases, and other bad behavior would result in premiums that have some serious bite. Homeowners should be keeping a tight rein on access to firearms. I treat my firearms as dangerous tools (like a unshielded portable bandsaw) and have trained my kids the same way when I taught them to shoot.

I'm a rural data guy too. I'm also a gun owner and pretty avid shooter. I'm waiting to see if San Jose's firearm owner insurance program works.
