why doesn't congress ban bump stocks?
If they are actually interested, they should just change the definition of automatic, so it means more precisely that you pull the trigger one time, and a mechanism pushes the trigger into the actuating position for a burst of fire.

There's really no need to ban accessories at all, but from a socialist/prohibitionist standpoint they probably prefer it that way as a means of manipulating the market accessible to the deplorables.  I think another thing to consider is that protectionism will not as easily corrupt the legislative process post Obama because of the establishment in the market for modularity.

Great, that's an interesting take for the art forum.  Maybe it will take off if you start some threads over there.

Not exactly.  Bump stock legislation would not necessarily warrant constitutional protection, but law just needs to be taken with a high level of scrutiny when it comes to the Bill of Rights in general or you could end up with an unconstitutional precedent.

1.  There's too many jackasses who want to treat America as a mental illness, both at home and abroad.  
2.  It's a political gambit to them, and they often propose bills in a way that would never pass.  
3.  Our legislature has cumbersome rules and is burdened with other stuff.

I think you are making an assumption on the basis of materialism. I'd wager that physical evidence is probably preferred on an epistemological basis.

@Mopac
  I dont know what liberalism is supposed to me, fundamentalism is in a broad sense, a reality of being a protestant, being detached from the Roman Catholic Church yet maintaining the fundamentals.  That is not to do with the material sciences, or literalism.  I do have some really strict adherence in my blood if you are curious, but we have always valued the American idea as long as we've been around to enjoy it, (actually somewhat detatched from politics and national identity), hard working, God-fearing people in most every aspect of life.

Apples are sweet.
-No you are insane

Yes they are, especially honey crisp.
 -Dude, there's no such thing as a honey crisp apple

This is what people who run apple orchards call apples.  See, look.  This is what I mean by Apple as well.  Here, have an apple.
-Your dictionary proves nothing.  Apples taste like wet fur.


Something to think about

The church doesn't hold that December 25th is the birthday of Jesus though, at least not to my knowledge.  How was that decided?

Obviously not all Christians have Christmas.  Most draw association with the Nativity, and of course it is a time of coming togather and giving.  It was abused in 17th century Massechusets as it is today.

They probably banned it because it wasn't something the theocrats could control and it represented a general disturbance to their order.

Cut the cable a little longer than you need so it doesn't weigh as much and we'll size it afterwords.  That way, we don't even have to worry about measuring it wrong.

Humans aren't computers that just take an input and spit out something that can be considered as information.  They aren't approaching a problem as a person.  There's no will from which to establish a goal, no practical consideration.

If time is not always operative than something needs to be, independant of time, for anything to be.  Either time is always operative or its must be possible to be independent of time.

If your faith is strong, you will probably think: "Mmm goat", and praise God
If you have your doubts, then don't partake.
There's no sense in quarreling over such matters.

Something does not come from nothing.  That's not fallacious in the way you say it is because the two are mutually exclusive.  One might even ponder that "thing" can be a limited way of thinking but Nothing has no way of resulting in anything.  I bet when I look into this it's going to be indicative of not being able to know certain things at the same time at the quantum level or something along those lines.

Are you contending that it's possible to get something from the absence of anything?  No energy, no wavy things, no basis for 'reality' of any sort whatsoever...nothing.  That would be the only way to rule out any cause.

I will probably not be able to devote sufficient time necessary for processing theory at the quantum level, but in the interest of the conversation what are you contending is not an effect, not requiring a 'cause', or otherwise consistant with uncaused cause.

If a cause does not "precede" an effect by normative relativity in time, that does not negate the necessity of cause for effect.
