Oh, come on. Do you expect anyone to take your point here seriously?
Okay, 14 years old was a little much, but two weeks ago restricting access based upon age was so important that people could not voluntarily wear masks even with the health concerns. Today, the health concerns are so important that people cannot choose NOT to wear masks even if it lets some (again, not 14) underaged people buy booze.
Where was the middle ground where the mask restriction was lifted?
First Amendment guarantees FREEDOM (its only occurrence in the Constitution) of speech and the press. Internet news sources emit “speech” so they’re covered. Yes, speech has repercussions and limits. Some don’t take kindly to insults. :eek:
Second Amendment, authorizing a well-regulated militia for national security, grants citizens the right to bear arms in that militia. Our standing military renders the 2nd obsolete. And it doesn’t say WHICH arms. Laws limit personal possession of much weaponry - spring switchblades and stilettos, Claymore mines, nukes, poison darts.
Are archery shops open? Bows & arrows are arms, too. So are squirtguns if loaded with gasoline. Is that legal? Anyway, sellers of knives, swords, clubs, tasers, mace, bear repellent, slingshots, and armed aerial drones are just as essential, right?
But of COURSE firearm sales are essential! Shoot them viroids! Shoot bacteria, too! It’s them or us! But when they kill us, they eat us. That should be a requirement for people, too. Kill what you eat. Eat what you kill. It’s only right.
I know you enjoy building up and attacking strawmen so much you had to break it up over two posts but the obvious answer you never even thought to consider is buying ammo. A lot of people only keep a few boxes of ammo at most, and in states like California where the only place you can legally buy ammo is a gun shop (selling or even giving ammo to a friend is actually illegal) if you shut down a gun shop you now no longer have access to ammo for your gun.

Leafblowers do nothing but damage peoples hearing and the environment. I think they shoudl be banned everywhere, at all times.

No, he did not. Read your own cite. He just told people what the law was.
The police will not protect you. That is not their job. If you have a abusive ex that has now found you and you fear for your life- the police will do nothing to protect you. They will arrest the guy afterwards.
So there are quite a few instances where you might think you are in danger- not RIGHT NOW but soon. Death threats for example.
Wife moves into sisters house after abusive spouse beats her. He is now out on bail.
You do have that right. But they can demand you get a permit for a demonstration. Or put in a “free speech zone” or other reasonable infringements.
No right is absolute. You cant own kiddy porn. You cant spread nude pictures of people on the internet without their permission. You cant violate copyright.
You cant own a atomic bomb or a machine gun or a howitzer. You can’t take your gun into a designated school zone. Etc.
Yeah, in Los Angeles that order to close gun stores was blatantly political.
Mind you, I worked in a sporting good store that sold fishing tackle and guns. The gun counter was never crowded. Easy to maintain social distancing. The customers had to stand on the other side of a counter, well away from the clerk and the guns.
Of course, I think people wanting to buy guns now, because of “the apocalypse” :eek: are stupid. But if you have a otherwise legit need for one, then you should be able to buy one. Keeping social distancing, etc. And if the PD said “No more than X number of people in the store at a time” that would be very reasonable.

No. Some do, but most require you buy your own.
For definitions of; ‘you’, ‘own’, and ‘machine gun’ that include the private ownership of machine guns.
YouTube gun Jesus isn’t lying about the transferable, fully automatic, guns being regularly sold at auction.
CMC fnord!
I do…since his point was that we live in crazy times and no one really seems to know what they are doing. Kind of like the DMV but nationwide.
Not that the stock of some of the most popular ammunition types is less cleaned out than that of toilet paper and sanitizer over the last three weeks… but yes, that is an issue if you already are not allowed to get it some other way.
It is possible, in some states- but not CA*- and only after a special federal registration.
And due to the Firearm Owners’ Protection Act of 1986, which basically OUTLAWED any sale, to any civilian, of new automatic weapons. No license, no tax stamp, no nothing. Just BANNED new automatic firearms to civilians.
- nor in Washington, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, New York, Rhode Island, and Delaware.
That’s awesome!! That’s the model around which science works as well. With new information we respond by modifying what we’re doing.
This novel Coronavirus is not something we have experience with. I expect to see even more changes each time our understanding improves.
Wait, what? He did no such thing. He simply engaged in his First Amendment right (we still have the free speech part of it in effect, right?) to question the officers’ actions. He didn’t pull a gun or throw a punch or try to run away. He was fully within his rights to remonstrate with the officers about what they were doing.
When he did that, they got all Barney Fifey and demanded his identification and threatened him with being arrested if he refused to provide it, something that they have no right to do under any circumstances.
Notice that others were in the park and they were allowed to leave. This guy got arrested for contempt of cop, and the police department apologized for what happened.
Actually it does appear a resident got hit with the $1000 fine, but ironically I’m on the governments side on this one. A Los Angeles area paddleboarder or surfer was asked to get out of the water by lifeguards because the beach was closed. He stayed out there and a half hour later the police came out by boat, got him out and fined him $1000.
Sorry not only did you not listen, but put the cops at risk. The $1000 fine is more than fair.
An Italian mayor was talking about residents who were breaking quarantine to get their hair done, and pointed out that it didn’t matter what your hair looked like, as your funeral was going to be closed casket anyway.
You don’t NEED a fucking hair cut, you WANT a fucking hair cut. Your desire to look pretty doesn’t entitle you to risk others’ health.
Why? Do you have a lice infestation?
