The sons and daughters of the elevated classes have given more than any other group in the UK, it is one of the things I respect them most for. Approximately 20-25% of the nobility was killed in WWI and WWII for the Brits, and it is what greatly weakened their power in the country. Our country...

Are they directly calling for the deaths of others? Or do they want one unified country in a specific location? That chant itself isn’t violence, the context it is used in can help clarify it, but you would have to add in the actual call to violence.

Words aren't violence, the people who believe that can be shown that it isn't pretty quickly. People with that mindset also tend to have never been punched in the face at one point in their life so their perspective tends to be lacking experience on the subject matter.

It is about control and money. Right now the US profits handsomely from social media companies as they own most the top dogs. Anything which undermines that monopoly is unacceptable to the oligarchs as it is low cost high return on said corporations. Neither side at the moment is serious about...

Britain also had strategic reasons to join in said conflicts. Britain, the US, and Russia guaranteed Ukraine in exchange for them getting rid of nukes. I don’t see Britain or the US honouring said agreement. Any agreement provided likely isn’t going to be worth the paper it is on. I predict...

My understanding is they have to have ‘exigent circumstances’ to search without a warrant. The defences argument is they lacked ‘exigent circumstances’ (no immediate risk of him getting it and no fear it contained a bomb or any such other device) and by not getting a warrant (which they had all...

Exactly. It puts power in the parties hands not the MPs. That allows power to be consolidated in very specific areas not repersenting the people of a region. If anything the rules should go you have to live in a area for two years before you can run for that regions MP. No more parachute...

They aren’t far off. The separation of powers is the only thing preventing it currently. They are doing the same thing my company does with my union. Have so many grievances filed (in this case court cases) that by time it’s heard the damages have long been done.

There will be a lot of people going to jail after his term is up. The question is whether he pardons them all first… Even then best to avoid international travel in the long term, the ICC might have something to say.

You need a manufacturers license to make firearms today so that’s another area which you can get nailed on. Thinking about it a bit this isn’t a replica firearm though, it is a stock for a firearm, just a non-conventionally shaped one. Still flirting close to the line on our unclear laws.

A significant part of Canadas economy is housing (it is in the 20-30% range). They are desperate to prevent the bubble from popping as it is what is keeping up our false economy. I couldn’t care less about peoples investments (and this is as a home owner who technically benefits from the...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_ARA_General_Belgrano Last Capital ship I know of being sunk. Didn’t go good for them then and that was with technology that is 40+ years old at this point. Condensing strength in a few capital ships is a mistake. WWII that was the big debate, aircraft...

If they want to separate thats fine. We should make things very clear to them on how it will go and make clear it won’t be better for them. 1) They wouldn’t get the entire province as the natives would get a large say. 2) Since them separating would be reopening the constitution I would...

Looks good. My only concern would be it floats very close to the replica firearm description which is a prohibited device.

True but there is also the benefit of being able to choose where and when you deploy as well. As a volunteer you can choose your poison. Regs loses that. If anything you can potentially have a much more interesting career in the Reserves as if your motivated and with the right CoC you could...

As much as we pretend to be the bastion of morals, we are morally bankrupt. Lots of works, lack of deeds.

Here is some stats from the States on mass shootings and casualties. The basic summary is most shootings kill about 5-6 people no matter what is used. There is a slight increase in average deaths with a ‘assault weapon’ (6 vs 5) but that really isn’t that much of a difference in the grand scheme...

So for the record I am not against some level of gun control. My laws would look something like this. Still 3 classes of firearms, Non-Restricted, Restricted, Prohibited. Non-Restricted would be any long gun, provided it isn’t full auto (this includes allowing converted autos to be...

My question to you is what does PWT1 prove? For the military it is to prove you can effectively use a firearm to a basic standard in combat. That isn’t what civilian shooting is about. Your PAL should cover the legalities of when and where you can shoot, but proving capability well doing so...

Ownership of private property shouldn’t be tied to marksmanship or recertification. Marksmanship means nothing, only knowing the law about where and when you can shoot matters. That should be covered in your PAL course. Recertification is the status of your always illegal property being given...
