While deserving, this would require violating our own laws.
We cannot cut down all the trees to find the devil Mr. roper.

The overlap of people who have the conviction and experience of fighting from the tree line at 3AM and the people that share this sentiment contains very little overlap.
I wouldn’t be so confident in inevitable.
It can pass phase 2 easier but not phase 3 trails.
Yeah. The article is clickbait.
Most armor penetrating munitions use depleted uranium for its ability to self sharpen as it plows through metal armor and because it is flammable on impact. We refer to these as, “behind the target effects”.
The splintering and incendiary effects inside vehicles and as additional anti-material destruction on soft targets are why it’s used.
It makes for a poor radiation dirty bomb, and is only a mild radiation risk.
There is a mountain of evidence that shows 13 different cancers are directly caused by obesity. 8 more are suspected to be caused through excess weight.
When something is 500% more likely when a biological factor is introduced, it’s 100% correlation with strong possibility to be causation. So strong that there is no point asking that question unless you are asking it in bad faith.
Free speech is rooted in the founding idea that you can speak or print your opinion about a government without a government’s reprisal.
Like most rights, these are codified and then matured or refined over time in the form of amendments.
I would very much like to change the name of the 14th amendment for all that it matters, since it now protects corporate personhood over individuals, but I digress.
Free speech is, again like other rights, not to be enshrined where it would allow you to do harm to others. You have the right to preach in an airport or say the government is hiding aliens or that the president is a shit bird. You do not have the right to cause a panic by screaming fire or bomb, as this had the very real harm to other’s safety in crowded public places. You can’t scream fire in a theater, for the same reason.
The most simple way to put this is that your rights end at your nose, not other people’s noses.
You can’t harm other’s freedom to operate unmolested, and where we draw that line is the foundation of English law.
No, it wouldn’t.
Jesus Christ has no one taken a civics class or studied how your government works?
Free speech limitations are clearly set with multiple case precedent. You would be arrested, convicted, and banned from ever flying. Full stop.
Phenotype vs biological normative.
Deaf people will decry “fixing” a person hearing impaired in the womb. Yet, it’s a correction to biological normative.
Adjusting a gender to a different one in the womb would not be.
Adjusting physical traits for looks wouldn’t be.
Adjusting a physical trait like spinal deformity would be.
Adjusting for general height would not be.
If there is something diagnosable in the ICD-10 codes we have, and it’s preventable in a population, it would not be eugenetics. Remove gene editing as the tool, but just say “magic” a cure. Cures apply to diseases, not traits.
You don’t cure being black. You CAN cure sickle cell.
I think the line is pretty clear.
You simply use existing diagnostic criteria of deviation from biological normative function.
Unappreciated vine reference.
Gold standard:
Be able to draw from concealment and hit a 6” steel circle at 10 yards in under 1.5 seconds. Every time, 10 draws in a row.
Ensure you can perform an elpresidente stage run in 6.5 seconds with all hits in the alpha scoring zone.
You can perform a fast drill in under 7 seconds, 3 times in a row back to back.
Your splits at 7 yards are under 2 tenths.
Your draw, shoot, reload, shoot on a 7 yard 6” steel plate is under 2.5 seconds. 10 times in a row.
Amateurs train until they get it right. Professionals train until they can’t get it wrong.
You always fall in the moment to the level of your training, so absolutely train if you decide to arm yourself. Otherwise you have given someone in power the ability to take lethal force from you and use it against you, or worse, you have misapplied it and harmed someone you did not intend to.
You should train how to use a gun

It’s from A Man for All Seasons, a play that illustrates the importance of the rule of law.
William Roper: “So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!”
Sir Thomas More: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”
William Roper: “Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!”
Sir Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
