At the very least include the title in the post. Sometimes the vid is flagged so it can only be viewed by opening it in YouTube. I skip right past those without a further thought.

Loving, Obergafell, and Bostock are pretty much the SC saying "rules as written have unintended consequences" and "if you don't like them take it up with Congress" ... as did Dobbs in it's own way.

There are, however class divisions. A DIII or NAIA starter probably isn't as good as a DI walk-on with bad grades who got their roster spot because daddy's an allumni booster who wrote a large cheque.

The only sports where men and women regularly compete side-by-side as teammates or against each other as opponents are the ones where the gender differences in athletic ability are irrelevant.

Which was exactly my point. They were designed for close range close quarters. Using something for what it wasn't designed for just makes it look bad.

Tommy guns use .45ACP. That's the pistol round meant to be used by the semi-automatic M1911 with "spray-and-pray" at close quarters while someone with a Tommy gun is reloading as quickly as possible. It is not a rifle round. EDIT: M1911s are 7+1 sidearms. Tommy guns are "in you go" for things...

If you're a firearms manufacturer you are not limited to obsolete full-auto. Heck, with enoungh money Thompson's submachine guns with 100rd drum magazines - which the US didn't issue to soldiers during WWII* - are available. That's the gangster gun from the 1920s and not obsolete by any stretch...

A convicted felon prohibited from firearms with more money than sense could - in theory - legally buy a Gatling gun while out on parole.

That's basically what American politicans already get. Heck, the Swiss Mercenaries who protect the Pope aren't armed with things J. Random American can't legally buy and walk around with. It'll take a bit of rules-lawyering loophole abuse for a civvie to get permission to concealed carry...

You could surround each of them with a plattoon of highly-trained expert bodyguards and an assassin would still be able to get through. In 1984 Indira Ghandi was shot by two of her bodyguards. In 2016 Andrei Karlov was shot in the back by an off-duty cop while giving a speech. In 1932 Inukai...

"This is art" is often used as a defense by people who got caught with their hand in the cookie jar, so to speak. If it actually is art a prosecutor probably isn't going to waste everyone's time.

On Jan 6th some of the people involved were clearly out to get Congresscritters. Right or wrong that pretty much makes "this is art" a laughably paper thin excuse.

Never said it was a good attempt. BTW: "this is art" is a bullshit CYOA most juries will just laugh at and ignore.

You're forgetting about the gallows which was built in plain sight that day. Several someones wanted to murder Congresscritters.

It wasn't a public display but I was exposed to pictures when I was younger (Jr. High sex-ed most likely).

Obergefell is an interesting case. Every circuit except for the 6th ruled that same-sex marriage bans were unconstitutional. When SCOTUS weighed in on the issue same sex marriage was legal in 46 states and they'd already ruled that if a state says "that's a valid marriage" the federal...
