What I read between the lines is "too many people will protest if we seek full charges against black suspects".

Despite the letter of the Second Amendment, the declared intent of those who drafted and ratified it in their own words, and the long history supporting it as a fundamental right, the sad fact is that the twentieth century saw the Second Amendment incrementally being nearly interpreted out of existe...

The highlight of my month!

I'll be there.

Do federal agents have the authority to publicly stop and detain people on probable cause? If that guy in the lane next to you at the stop light is a fed, could he pull you over if he sees you smoking a joint?

Other than trafficking or possibly large growing operations, aren't the feds 100% dependent on state and local law enforcement to actually catch marijuana users and forward the cases to federal jurisdiction?

Suppressive fire does not work out well in a civilian setting.

If your customers can find you, the authorities can find you. Drug dealers have known that forever, which is why the bigger players employ lots of expendable intermediaries. Also, street scum have big mouths and no loyalty.

I keep thinking there must be few harder positions to be stuck in than being a woman who believes in the Second Amendment and also wants abortion to remain legal and available.

I know it's just a violent fantasy that for a hundred reasons couldn't work in real life, but I can't but think that if only we simply hanged all the people with gang tats, things would immediately improve substantially.
