That is already a thing. The prohibited persons restriction of the Lautenberg Amendment applies to any possession, not just ownership. Even the military is required to continually verify that servicemembers are still legally allowed to be issues weapons for duty.

Last I saw I thought he was also criminally charged since this was well outside the scope of castle doctrine or no duty to retreat. Both of them require a reasonable threat which was not present.

When it changed from “Social Media” to “Social Media” it really went to shit. That and when Google’s new board decided “don’t be evil” was no longer compatible with their goals. Yeah, the internet used to be great…

I mean, California bans this as well and they aren’t exempt despite being where Reddit is located. Spez doesn’t seem to care what is legal.

Bigger and heavier vehicles (more specifically “trucks” which aren’t legally defined by their beds and encompass virtually anything larger than a simple sedan) are exempt from the majority of fuel economy standards. As a result many auto makers have just straight up stopped making “cars” and shifted entirely to larger vehicles because they can get away with more emissions. Yes, a 2023 SUV is slightly more efficient than a 2013 SUV, but so many more of them are being sold instead of cars that the overall emissions are way higher. I love my Ford Focus from 2017 but Ford literally cancelled every single sedan, coupe and hatchback other than the Mustang and now exclusively makes SUVs, trucks and a single sports car.

The Chinese are absolutely allowed to fly planes there. What is against international law is unsafe intercepts and flying within 10 feet of another aircraft.

Edit It has been pointed out that I latched onto the color and shape of the grill that is generally on the sportier Ford Foci and forgot about the 2012 base model. I hate when people delete comments and leave a graveyard of broken context so I’m leaving it up but I was wrong on what the blue car is.

Interesting, the blue car is clearly a ‘09 Ford Focus RS but it appears to be in Nitrous Blue, a color only available on the ‘16-‘18 Focus RS. Seems very specific.

In what world does the Barbie movie have a plot that requires a map showing territorial waters of the South China Sea? Even if she was traveling the world this specific part of a map seems like it’s zero value added.

“The right to discuss is a privilege“

That word, I don’t think it means what you think it mean.

You mean in international airspace over international waters?
