@erikfromalaska One would think this would be an easy win for both sides, but the companies that make the nickel blanks strongly lobby against it. They argue that charities would have to shut down if people couldn't donate their pennies.
@erikfromalaska Interesting. I would think that there is no way to measure a back hole as anything other than 0K, since no infrared light can escape. I'm not sure if the matter inside the back hole would cease all vibration, though.
@Chewb3rt@dlnoch @FowldsBarb @TheGoodLiars We do, but they're very easy to circumvent. A person who would not be able to pass a background check simply needs to buy a firearm from another person and not a federally licensed dealer.
@Chewb3rt @FowldsBarb @TheGoodLiars Smart criminals follow most laws and only break a select few. The ones who don't respect any laws get caught very quickly.
@Chewb3rt @FowldsBarb @TheGoodLiars True. One of the proposed gun laws would require all personal transactions to have a 4473 form and background check. This wouldn't stop straw purchases, though.
@Chewb3rt@TheGoodLiars No, I will vote to elect officials who will change laws that I disagree with. That is, ideally, how politics work.
I'm simply pointing out inaccuracies. My personal beliefs are not part of this.
@Chewb3rt@TheGoodLiars Personal sales don't require a form 4473 or background check. Many states don't require residents to get a license to carry concealed or open.
