The consequence of which is that the woman's body becomes in service of the fetus, removing her autonomy to make decisions.

"Sorry honey; I could have avoided the physical and mental health issues that will plague you for the entirety of your life as a result of your fetal alcohol syndrome, but living in the moment was, like, way more important."

I don't know that anyone who continues to frequent this forum will ever have the opportunity to do so.

Now we get into the fun realm of whether or not the constitution or more recent federal law apply. That said, if we're at the point that a President is even considering trying to mobilize state forces, they've either probably already been mobilized by their respective states, or their ranks have been so decimated by conscription that they'd be a shell of what they once were.

That being said, he won't federalize any state militias because, once again, they're basically useless for anything but support, so it would be much easier just to form new federal units.

I don't get the European disdain for militias, personally. (Militias in this case referring to SDFs, or proper organizations that have actual entry requirements; not Bob and his buddies running around backwoods Tennessee pretending to be operators and calling themselves a militia)

It's legally impossible to create a state armed forces that cannot be called up by the federal government in certain circumstances. Even the State Defence Forces are state militias which the president can technically 'federalize'. Not that he will, because they're useless.

My argument isn’t that all firearms should be banned. It would be impossible in the US. But I’m saying that maybe she had a handgun because the assault rifles were banned, lessening the potential damage she could cause.

When one has complete domination over the lives of others, handguns are no less deadly than a rifle. The third most deadly shooting in American history was, in fact, committed with a pair of handguns. The only thing that saved lives in that building was the absurd incompetence of the shooter.

what happened to those that owned ars before the ban?

From what I'm reading, if they're already registered, or are registered by the new deadline, then they are grandfathered in (For now). If not, then congratulations on becoming a felon. I guess good on California for 'compromising' and not turning a shitload of people into criminals overnight.

If by that you mean it wasn't banned, then no, there were no restrictions. California, however, had an absurdly lengthy process for purchasing firearms in general, and handguns in particular.

You wouldn't happen to be suggesting that the state should have banned all firearms, are you?

It’s just very dismissive for Gordo to try and take pot shots at a state with gun restrictions when there’s no real evidence that she got around them.

That's the point, though. Even with all of California's firearm regulations, she had a weapon and thus had the lives of every person in that building in the palm of her hand for however long she was up and shooting. The only reason people didn't die is because she was clearly astoundingly incompetent with a firearm.

Insofar as I know, she didn't break any laws acquiring the handgun, and it was just a standard run of the mill 9MM S&W.

Dev blogs 5, 17, and 18 are about NW. It's not as if this section has been something exclusively reserved for news on the development of BCoF, but rather as a place for all development news for all FSE projects.

I mean, when your enemy can level your cities while suffering zero casualties, fighting to the death to delay them really loses its meaning.

Not that I agree with his bait, but that's really not fair of you.

Don't worry. They won't cut anything, they never do. Democrats will do everything they can to block cuts to [insert these programs] and the Republicans will refuse to cut [Insert Other Programs]; the Federal Government hasn't known how to become fiscally responsible for a while now because constituents would rather keep spending other people's money for their own comfort, even if we're out of other people's money to spend; combined with certain people's unwillingness to leave the world be.

But surely leaders in our democratic system would do something more than just look out for their own (Or their party's) reelection? Someone must look to the future, beyond the lining of their own pockets with public money, right?
