You are rationalizing an outcome you want while ignoring any counter points. You justify curtailing due process and habeas corpus, hand way away actual examples of government screw ups all around you. Bananas!

RIP Evil Him Him

In one sentence you go from shifting the goalpost to rationalizing eliminating all checks and balances on individual rights. You also keep talking about proving your citizenship, while defending eliminating the very forum where you would do that. On a board where there is an entire thread about cops being malicious screwups, in a world where the most technically advanced intelligence apparatus in history bombed a school, and you're ok with no built in check/balance? Bananas

A 4 second Google search produces multiple claims of detained/deported citizens and legal immigrants. Some of this is obviously dubious, but due process is how that is sorted out. Trusting "the most unfathomably complex surveillance tools ever imagined by man" without any oversight is an insane violation of basic civil liberties.

You're making a strawman argument and you know it. Bad Ratner. Prove this person is an illegal alien, before imprisoning them and deporting them. Cause the government never makes mistakes, this should be easy.

Fellas/sock-puppets, there are no tin pot dictators that trusted the US prior to this. Smoking Ghaddafi ironed that out for them all. Everyone gets kid gloves after getting nukes, and death by unga bunga before that. Iran knew what it could do with the straight. That was true before the advent of drones or this most recent boondoggle. We argued about this same topic on this board 20 years ago, and that was one side of that argument then. Freedom of international water ways isn't a natural state of things, it is put in place by a global police state under the threat of war. Everyone had a good idea that said threat wasn't real anymore, and was just letting it ride for mutual benefit and caution.

37 flavors of Christian and everything else is an umbrella category. Pretty easy case to be made that it's a violation of the first amendment.

If continued military action is desired, the logical thing is to continue the blockade while striking as required to self defend. And sink or seize the entire shadow fleet that was involved in running Iranian oil. Otherwise, min engagement. Take the IRGC's money. Let them break themselves trying to stretch this out. Turn this into Northern/Southern watch.

Hopefully the institutional myopia doesn't set in before that actually happens.

So the exec mafia can get around the WIC.

You clearly don't know what it takes to fly precision loops to Van Halen, while taking all the 60 series.

CH, a suggestion: put a sharpie mark on that enbloc clip. Include an up direction. That way if it happens again, you can see about isolating it to gun vs clip. The up arrow is to check it against which set of feed lips (I think those can go in either way, right?) Good luck, I know how frustrating feeding issues are.

What would Jonathan Taylor Thomas do? That's what I asked before going into combat.

Ah, the Maryland politics angle.

This is true. I have three SA 1911/2011s, one is a TRP from 2015 timeframe. The fit is good, so is the accuracy. I shot it a lot. I also have a stainless range officer that is very loose (from day one), and was terrible accuracy wise and a Prodigy that was also terrible (after the Cerakote wore off). Mileage may vary.
