>It's kinda funny 2a people are even upset because of how insignificant it is.

In that sense it's a bit like pat-downs in the airport: it's kind of infuriating to know that not only is this chungus feeling me up, but also that it's doing absolutely nothing to make anyone even a little bit safer.

Oh shit now do we make pizza a offical food or cheese. Man tough year for the law makers

Let’s not forget the cheese cutters.

At the height of our powerlifting/strongman training, a bunch of us would sit in a circle after the workout, each with a whole Costco chicken on our laps, and rip into them caveman style.

Do you need help paying for the airfare?

From OP

You must live by the coast, then. We don’t have that issue in central CT.

Left Lane is for Passing.

Can wait for gonekyo drift

More manageable but still tough to conceptualize as a routine inventory theft case

Not half as bad as Mass. I hate driving through Westfield, their traffic engineers had to have been on drugs.

It’s really inconvenient trying to decide which pizza joint to order from. When my family gets together we end up having to order from multiple places cause everyone has their favorite.

It's obviously not an infringement of the 2A. Folks who get outraged about this are reacting not so much to the tax itself as to what they perceive as the legislators' motives. If hypothetically they'd set the tax at $5 per round, I think it would be easy to see their viewpoint.

For comparison, machine guns are still legal to own in most of the US. The National Firearms Act of 1934 decided to tax them instead of banning them. The tax, $400, is negligible today, but at the time it was the equivalent of over $4K in present-day dollars. It was ample to keep poor and minorities from owning these guns, while it was barely an inconvenience to the wealthy.

* And they went the taxation route because they believed at the time that a ban would have been struck down as unconstitutional. They were explicitly trying to reduce ownership of machine guns without ever resorting to a ban.

** What really cut down their availability was the 1986 ban on manufacture or importation of machine guns for civilian use. All machine guns in circulation today were manufactured pre-1986.

Cool argument. 🥱

Salt isn’t for snow, it’s for ice. You don’t need snow for ice, we have had rain and freezing rain.

Possible insurance fraud could be a factor.

Not necessarily. I worked for a dealership several years ago. Our dumbass lot boy left keys inside several vehicles over a holiday weekend. I only found out about it when a customer came in told me what car she wanted to test drive and said she already sat in it on Easter Sunday.

If this was not an inside job it was a well planned out and knew wtf they were doing job.

Cheese is awesome

Some fucking idiot on the Southington talks Facebook page blamed it on the trees being cut down so it’s too windy. Hahaha
