This is a very difficult thing to do since the state has been actively in the process of controlling the media for more than 100 years in the United States. The entire point of the FCC was not to enforce the first amendment rights to freed

A $1500 disposable gun. I'm not sure most gun buyers are going to go for this except as a novelty to add to a collection hoping it goes up in value as a failed idea. Yes, I say this is disposable because the electronics will wear out

Of course by this same token most people thinking about suicide don't do it. I do find it a bit interesting they choose the 15-29 age range for their shocker sentence. While it being the 4th leading cause of death for that range soun

The police are like any agency when you make enough noise they will do it. Maybe that noise means you need to get the local media involved and other places but that's just it you got to make noise to get heard. That's what this

Actually that's not quite true certain states don't have inspection requirements so they never check but any car that was built from the factory with the catalytic converter is required to have a catalytic converter to be a road.

If they live in the United States of America there is no state where straight pipes are legal for road use. Nearly all aftermarket exhaust parts will have a disclaimer that they are off road only. I like fast cars and fast motorcycle, but

Of course they don't want to consider time off the road. Historically they've never had a way to monitor it but now they can they for sure don't want too. It will cut in to their profits. Like my car has been in my garage fo

Doing away with the sim card has almost no benefit for the end user and is taking people back to the dark days of CDMA phones. The idea that your service is not tied to your physical phone is critical to the core ideas of freedom. People ha

Depending on the law, yes. Passing a law to silence your critics or your competition is absolutely Orwellian. It's no different than burning/banning books because they contradict the ideology of those in power. It's the estab
