TN Legislature has more than 2,000 bills filed.

David notes some legal complications in using them for self defense.

Because they’re easy to make. More here.

Hit them in the funding:

The U.S. House has voted for an amendment to H.R. 1 offered by Reps. Denny Rehberg and Dan Boren that prohibits the use of federal funds for a new and unauthorized multiple sales reporting scheme proposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE). The measure passed the chamber (277-149) with broad bipartisan support.

And they’re worth more than $0.05. Excluding the cost to get to the components. it is an investment that only has an upside.

Daley supports gun laws that focus on actions and not inanimate objects.

Not applicable at a public court house:

Library takes out restraining order against OC activists. And intends to sue.

Vows revenge:

“I’ve been on the fence for years about the legalization of drugs … and now I’m a victim of this crazy war on drugs,” says Freshman, who pledged to sue until “I see [the agents’] houses sold at auction and their kids’ college tuitions taken away from them. There will not be a better litigated case this century.”

So says David Rittgers.

Money is inherently worthless. Sure, some can be melted into components or made into fuel. But, by and large, it has no value. You can’t eat it or build stuff out of it. Heck, mostly it’s just digital 1s and 0s on a computer somewhere. Most of mine is. It’s only value is that we’ve basically decided it has value. Similarly, gold is equally useless other than some specialized applications and things. Gold is not used that often in those applications and is usually just made into shiny things or stored in vaults.

This is why I don’t understand calls to return to the gold standard. Does it matter that the means of communication we all agree to trade under is based on bits of data or shiny rocks? Probably not.

That and there’s more money than gold.
