  1. Or maybe people will decide that since they are now responsible, they will start using voice control.
  2. Supreme Court rulings generally start with a syllabus which gives a relatively brief description of the decision. The syllabus might be 1 to 3 pages. Then it goes on into as many as 15 pages describing how they came to the official conclusion. In addition to the official ruling, some justices may issue a concurring opinion meaning that they agree with a ruling but for different reasons. Then the justices on the losing side may issue a dissent describing why they disagree. The syllabus in this case concludes with this paragraph: The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not “a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees.” McDonald, 561 U. S., at 780 (plurality opinion). The exercise of other constitutional rights does not require individuals to demonstrate to government officers some special need. The Second Amendment right to carry arms in public for self- defense is no different. New York’s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms in public. It clearly says that other constitutional rights do not require you to justify why you need them. Why should the second amendment?
  3. SCOTUS ruled that people have the right to carry handguns in self-defense and a state cannot set a restriction that the person has to prove a need. [Hidden Content] Reading the actual case was just released, it appears that states like New Jersey, New York and California will now have to an act of law that requires them to issue a license to people who wish to carry handguns in self-defense. They overturned a New York law that says they don’t have to issue a license unless you can prove a need. The ruling was that the Second Amendment does not require you to prove why you need self defense.
  4. At this moment in time the EV is a scam in my opinion …..
  5. In his mental state, Biden forgot that it was a secret.
  6. When the Easter Bunny has to distract you and take you away…. [Hidden Content]
  7. We have had police shootings at my agency (I was involved in one when an officer shot and killed a person about 10 feet from me). One is so clear cut and I have asked it to be released. It obviously shows that the officer was unquestionably correct but it still tends to flame some people. It is still not released years later. I could see nothing gained by releasing this video. If they do then we will see it but even with seeing something on video will offer not change in peoples’ opinions.
  8. Yes, if the door was not locked, that was stupid.
  9. I like the idea of armed teachers but that guy’s logic is terribly flawed.
  10. TGM is now Tom Cruise’s highest grossing movie worldwide of all time. In the short time it has been open, it earned $817 Million. Another $200M would put it the top 30 movies ever.
  11. I don’t know how the “I” got in there except predictive text. The Sugarland Express incident started in Port Arthur.
  12. Which started in Port Arthur…,
  13. There you go with “you guys”. 1. Declaring martial law is a stupid claim. 2. I don’t recall any time saying anything about martial law. I honestly can’t remember anyone in this forum claiming that Obama was going to declare martial law to seize guns. Maybe you read such an opinion somewhere else. If someone else here said that, again it is a stupid claim. 3. Quite to the contrary, I laughed when Obama came up with his many point executive order because I said his orders would have no enforcement under law. 4. The Democrats absolutely want to end most private ownership of our arms and the president today will gladly sign such a bill but the Senate does not have enough votesto overcome the filibuster. 5. if I said, you know how you people are, you would be having a fit.
  14. Haha…. I did not modify your post. I was correcting a typo in mine but reading it off of your post. When I looked back at it, it said I modified yours. I thought, when did I modify his post… Then… Oops
  15. It is a lot of resources and they might have had no clue if it was minor. In all chases, it isn’t necessarily the known crime but the ending which may end up in a shooting. Timothy McVeigh who blew up the federal building in Oklahoma City, was stopped on a license plate violation. I was reading an officer patrol tactics case called the “no look, look”. It is when a person goes out of his way not to look at the police. In the particular case they used as an example, a guy pulled up to a Farm Road at a stop sign. A State trooper was straight across from him also just waiting to cross the farm road. The civilian driver would never even look across the road at the trooper. He would not even look left to see if the highway was clear before. He looked continuously to the right but would never looked back to the left because he thought the trooper might be looking at him. The driver then crossed the farm roads highway have a never looked to the left to see if it was clear. The trooper stopped the guy and what did he find in the trunk? The guy‘s dead wife who he had just murdered. Two routine stops for traffic citations type offenses for ended up in a domestic violence murder case being solved and a mass murder being solved. Like those two cases, it’s not the reason for the stop, even for a chase that is the, it is what might happen when it comes to a conclusion.
  16. Facebook probably giving them some grief.
  17. I believe you’re talking about the wrong rednecks. For all I know during the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia might have called people rednecks but that ain’t what they are talking about in the southern United States.
  18. I and likely many other people have been saying that for years. There is a push to make illegal aliens citizens and even to have aliens vote. That is because I believe about 75% of Hispanics vote Democrat. The opening of the border is nothing but the importation of votes trying to lock up all future national elections. If however if we found that 70% of Hispanics entering the country wanted to vote for a Republican candidate, you would see that border slammed shut immediately.
  19. Next up, what happens when a middle school football team plays a junior league/Pop Warner football team?
  20. Misuse is correct but away from the topic. Your definition is wrong to say the least. It is not religion based.
  21. Freedom of choice….. unless I disagree.
  22. The article that I read (maybe Beaumont Enterprise?) said it had a concession stand, restrooms and a dressing room. I’m assuming the dressing room has some type of locker room and maybe even showers but the article did not exactly say. But yes, it was not like a typical small stand-alone building to serve chips and drinks.
  23. An average of 350 people are killed with rifles of any type each year. That is not bad shooting, it is all rifle homicides. There are about 9,000 gun murders each year. If you could remove every single rifle from every single person‘s hand in the United States, you were at the most take away 4% of the murders. That is only assuming that the person simply won’t go to a shotgun or handgun. You know that is BS because if a person can’t get his hand on a rifle, he would just go to another firearm. I can only think of one school shooting with a rifle had anything to do with it what really made a difference. That was an 11-year-old and a 13-year-old in Arkansas about 30 years ago where they stayed away from the school and pulled the fire alarm and shot people as they came out from long range. Just like the Luby‘s in Killeen, Texas and the Virginia Tech shooter, it was all handguns. They are actually easier to conceal, much easier to carry large quantities of ammo and up close where most of the shootings happen, just as deadly and usually faster. To put it in a nutshell, this is an attempt to band raffles when rifles are not the problem. Had this shooter going into the same classroom in Uvalde with a 9 mm handgun, he could have killed just as many children, just as fast. What will restricting AR15‘s due to that? Absolutely nothing. Klebold and Harris went into Columbine HS in the first well known HS mass shooting and they were under age to buy handguns yet they had handguns. How could that be, it wasn’t legal??? Anyone that cannot see this as getting a foot in the door to try to get guns away from private citizens, is not paying much attention. I guess this is the reality or logic in some people’s minds. I kid has severe mental problems and says I’m going to go shoot up a school. He finds out that he cannot get his hands on a rifle but he can get his hands on a pistol. He then gives up on his plans because he does not want to kill 30 children with a handgun.
  24. I will throw this out there, I haven’t looked into juvenile law in maybe 6 years or so. Those are the laws as I believe they still exist. If somebody can say that yes they changed the law on what should be reported, I am not aware of it. I used to have the office number and personal cell phone number for the head of the Juvenile Division for the DA. Anytime I had a question I would contact that person direct. Like I said, it has been a few years since I have made inquiries into the current Texas law but I believe they are still the same.
  25. Like all state laws, it varies state by state. In Texas juvenile records are sealed and not considered a crime. They are charged with Delinquent Conduct and a criminal act justifies the DC charges. If a child is certified as an adult for example at 15 years old, it is then part of his official adult record. However, once certified, not always certified. If certified by a judge, a juvenile is only an adult for that crime. So a 15 is taken into custody for felony Aggravated Assault. A judge certifies him an adult and he gets a trial date just like any other adult. So the trial is set for 8 months later. The day after he is certified, be gets out and is arrested for another crime. Yep, he is a juvenile again. It is not like being emancipated. So when talking about school records and juvenile laws, it goes state by state. For a federal background check to show such a school or juvenile records, you would need a new law. You would need some kind of mandatory school records, juvenile records national database law for it to show up. Good luck with that. A state could enact such a law that only applies to that state. I don’t envision that happening in Texas.
