So apparently this guy was a bit of Column A and Column B. He seems to have had mental illness problems and he really loved the Nation of Islam and it’s charming leader Louis Farrakhan.

Mr. Nice! posted:SCOTUS has ruled in favor of Google versus Oracle. They assume the copyrightability of the API, and then held that google's theft of said API was fair use. I agree with the ultimate result but it leaves a very bad taste in my mouth that Google could be a deliberate bad actor and walk away with all their ill-gotten gains. If it helps just think of the time a company lied to get access to Nintendo’s patents to circumvent a lock out chip and eventually.

So Biden doing gun stuff that isn’t likely to lead anything except lost votes. But also braces are gross and you should SBR stuff...barring state law issues. The “ghost guns” will probably just make 80% frames FFL items, but I’m not sure that can even be done as an executive action and it probably is related a rules making process same with 80% stuff. That one is more, it sucks for people who like doing custom builds and project stuff, but they’ll still be able to do it, just probably have to serialize it, and a lot of makers even include it as an option now from what I understand. Also the ATF will get a anti-gun head, whose a long term field agent, and now worked for Giffords gun control group. He’ll continue the trend of never being formally confirmed and just be an acting one. Not sure how the legalities for stuff like that work. So all in all likely a big wet fart done to get gun control people off his back, that won’t accomplish anything, so I’ll beat Mlmp08 to the punch, in saying it’s probably nothing to worry about.

Best Friends posted:There was a point where middle class families stopped letting little Timmy go to the boxing gym, and that's when boxing went from second biggest sport in America to its current status of "rare occasional event people care about." I keep waiting for the same to happen to football but my coworkers remain happy to have their little Timmys on the gridiron Also MMA is still a big growing thing too, it’s never going away. Honestly football or hockey going away, are more likely to occur as a throw away line for something set in the future, then ever in reality.

RFC2324 posted:I mean, Americans too, so we will always have violent sports. But parents are getting less likely to let little Timmy play football until its clear that yeah, his destiny is hitting people. I remember Bob Arum once said, something to extent of, as long as there are still ghettos and barrios boxing will always exist (I think he was saying that in relation to MMA growth), which gives it a class distinction too (as others mentioned) as opposed to purely punch man talent. If there is ever a true indication of violent sports declining, it will be when the lowest end of the socio-economic scale start saying no you can’t play this.

CainFortea posted:I don't think I can even give a count. I’m not sure they can truly go down to 0, since it would make a block of aluminum a restricted item. I suspect they may try to dial it down more or use clearly looks like a gun, and then the gun industry will respond and it will be more cat and mouse stuff. Also I’m pretty sure it’s an EA and not an EO,

Iain posted:It's my understanding that the pistol brace for ARs was designed for a disabled person and I would have liked to have seen something where a person with a disability could be authorized use of one. Kind of like how people with disabilities can use a crossbow for hunting in some states. I really hate how it was co-opted by idiots wanting to turn their SBR into a legal rifle. It's not a pistol and I don't care what anyone says (I'm not gonna argue this so hopefully this doesn't start a derail). Yeah, from my understanding it was originally developed by a disabled veteran. Honestly I don’t think it will hurt anyone using it for it’s intended purpose, since it is literally the opposite of how the wink wink, totally not a stock works. Honestly I won’t miss it as if anything it causes less companies to focus on stocks for SBRs, instead of making only a brace or splitting the development and manufacturing.

mlmp08 posted:The voters who engage or disengage from politics over the president telling the DOJ to write up a report and recommendations about pistol braces are... I dunno, either were going to vote GOP or Libertarian anyway or are instead disappointed gun control advocates. Honestly the only ones sensitive are people who may vote Republican, Biden could do nothing and the people who are rabid for gun control would still vote for them. I’d love to find the one who votes something else....I mean some fringe DSA candidate or Non Dem candidate as opposed to someone in a primary. Truthfully I doubt Biden wants to spend any real time on this, even if it honestly supports all the measures. Also in terms of ATF...it’s the tech branch that honestly matters the most to a large extent in terms of providing the basis or non basis for a ruling.

Mr. Nice! posted:Most of wealthy people's riches are not in cash instruments. That's just how they're valued. Jeff Bezos, for example, probably only has a few million in cash and a line of credit with no limit backed by his shares. Which is be of the reasons when people say this persons wealth could give people X number of money and still have Y left or when people suggest that someone can just up something in their business via personal wealth they probably couldn’t. Converting their shares to cash would also probably crash the price of the stock...and heavily reduce the value and probably damage the company itself. This isn’t meant as a defense, but more just extrapolating on your point.

FrozenVent posted:Evergreen hasn’t made a statement either way and it’s unlikely they just say gently caress it and walk away. Also assuming the Egyptians don’t try and seize the cargo for “compensation”…although that might be a legit option, sadly I could never get into the maritime law class the one or two times it was offered in law school. I figured it would be a fun adventure into obscure rear end law.

CainFortea posted:Isn't there some euro country that bases all their traffic fines on a percentage of monthly wage or some such? Finland as mentioned above, but that system is just as bad, it assumes a person doesn’t have substantial expenses and just treats there income as all profit (and no I’m defending the super rich, just idea of pegging it to income), which I don’t like. I mean what if you lost your job, medical emergencies, kid related things, I just don’t like it. Also I was thinking points only, but that’s really ripe for abuse too, especially for people who need to drive to a job to support their family.

SchnorkIes posted:Any time you are saying you're ok with something being criminalized, realize you're saying it merits summary execution in the US. See I’ve always said gun control is…kidding kidding. Sorry sorry I couldn’t help it. Still I think for purely administrative things it’s not a problem and also I doubt anyone would object to murder or sex crimes, but what about things like tax fraud or assault, sorry I just have a huge problem with the statement, even if there is truth to it.

Also gun shops, but perhaps they just really didn’t want that slice of the customer base, which is kind of ironic. That or they figured most people didn’t like the guy. It’s weird and I’ve never found out the exact reasoning, but it seems like all the negative press blew over, cause conservatives can’t boycott poo poo correctly.
