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.

Bottom line: The Second Amendment is so vague it's an obsolete menace.

If the 'well-regulated militia' preface has no effect on the rest of the paragraph, rewrite the entire amendment. Regulation is desperately needed.

Today's news: "A man who shot and killed 18 people in Lewiston, Maine last October may have been suffering from traumatic brain injuries, doctors have said.

The shooting was executed by 40-year-old Robert Card, a US Army reservist and certified firearms instructor.

Card was found dead days after the incident from a self-inflicted gunshot.

Army records showed Card had no combat deployments, but doctors said on Wednesday that he may have suffered brain injuries during military drills.

Card was a "long-time" instructor at an Army hand grenade training range, according to a statement released by the Concussion Legacy Foundation on Wednesday."

During that time he was exposed to "thousands of low-level blasts", the organisation said.

Dr Ann McKee from Boston University's CTE Center, who conducted the study, said in the statement that nerve fibres in Card's brain showed "significant degeneration... inflammation" and "small blood vessel injury"."


Clearly there must be conditions and restraints added to a firearms amendment.
