I loving hope someday I'm popular enough that major news outlets are going to sifting through my spam folder pondering whether or not I really did buy that Cialis and Viagra. This entire scandal really amuses me though because it's always fun watching a rich person laugh off a raft of felonies that would send me to jail for the rest of my life.

duz posted:Nope, so far all the releases have had the addendum that none of the emails now marked classified/whatever were such at the time they were sent. As someone who has been subject to that level of government retardation this entire thing makes me very sad. Having the Secretary of State conducting any kind of government business from unsecured machines is sloppy as poo poo, and if it was Joe Q. Nobody who did it instead of Hillary Clinton he'd be getting a good 'ol fashioned IG reaming.

MaxxBot posted:You don't have to know how to use a gun or have in depth knowledge of how they work, but it helps to at least have basic knowledge of different types of guns you want to ban. Otherwise you have things like "assault weapons" bans which literally means nothing, it's seriously based on cosmetic features rather then the functionality of the gun. I'd think people passionate about gun control would want to know that their legislation is essentially meaningless. Shoulder thing that goes up.

Trabisnikof posted:Its not just that CHL ownership doesn't impact if the owner commits a crime, but also that CHL ownership doesn't prevent other people from committing crimes. For CHL to be effective at reducing crime it'd have to be prevalent in areas where crime happens, which it isn't because nobody in those areas can afford it or pass the background check due to racism.
