The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

sano: I believe that already exists.

And is being struck down in the appeals courts since the Supreme Court ruled that a gun law passes legal muster only if it is "rooted in history and tradition." Felons were not prohibited from owning guns by the Founding Fathers (nor by the Second and Fourteenth Amendments), so forgetaboutit.

In addition, the venerable 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals invalidated a federal law that bars an individual who is subject to a domestic violence restraining order from possessing a firearm. That law, the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled, "is an outlier that our ancestors would never have accepted." The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear that case this year so you can probably kiss that law goodbye too. You wouldn't want to take guns out of the hands of wife beaters, now would ya'?

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
