Funny story, no idea if true. When the IDF was in the early days they hired top tier competition shooters from the USA to teach basic handgun skills.
The Americans were under the impression that they were teaching a small team of cadre that would go on to teach the larger force. Turns out they were teaching a near battalion compliment. They panicked and came up with what is now known as "Isreali Carry" to ensure safety in lieu of having enough instructors/RSO's.
They came back later and tried to fix it. By the time they gathered resources and regrouped, it was too late. The method had already proliferated the entire IDF. Again no idea if true.
@CynicalPublius@SenRandPaul Does he even have the power to subpeona a Governor of a different state from which he serves? I don't think that's how that works.
If that were the only tax maybe. Correct me if I am wrong, but weren't voting rights originally tied to property ownership? They had a stake in the game, and since it was a smaller base it seems in theory it would server to keep the government small and ensure only stake holders got a say in how their tax dollars were spent.
@TheSCIF Sam Brown lost the senate race by 24,059. He was up most of the race then a flood of votes came in all in rapid succession. Another hockey stick chart.
