^ Where's Albert Einstein?

He gets quoted a lot, I figured he had to be a President.

Well those lost ballots would be mostly blue from that area. Stolen mail or something else unrelated to voter fraud would be my take.

A misunderstanding by most people of how the laws are structured is what leads to most people thinking that fully automatic weapons are illegal when they are, in fact, perfectly legal so long as you follow all the laws.If you’ve got the time and the money and you want to own a fully automatic weapon, we’ll go over all of the qualifications, restrictions, and processes you need to complete in order to buy and possess one of these weapons.Here are the requirements for owning a machine gun, or an automatic weapon, in the United States:

Must not be classified as a “prohibited person.”
Be at least 21 years of age to purchase a machine gun from the current owner.
Be a legal resident of the United States.
Be legally eligible to purchase a firearm.
Pass a BATFE background check with a typical process time of 8 to 10 months.
Pay a one-time $200 transfer tax. (You’ll need a stamp for each machine gun.)
A “PROHIBITED PERSON” INCLUDES ANYONE WHO:
is a felon.
has been convicted of any crime punishable by more than a year in prison (whether or not they were ever sentenced to or served a day in prison).
is under indictment for any crime punishable by more than a year in prison.
is a fugitive.
is an unlawful user of any controlled substance.
has been adjudicated as a mental defective.
has been committed to a mental institution.
is an illegal alien.
has a dishonorable discharge from the military.
has renounced their U.S. citizenship.
is the subject of a restraining order restraining the person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner or the child of an intimate partner, or who has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.
It’s also important to note that a prohibited person cannot even be in possession of a firearm, let alone own one, so if someone is a prohibited person, then that’s the end of the story and the attempt at legal machine gun ownership for them.These weapons were initially regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934, then under the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968, and again under the Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA) of 1986.so let talk about the so call assault rifles and hunting in the state of Missouri Regular firearm deer season semi auto's are allowed you are allowed 10 in the mag one in the pipe no i don't need a 20 round mag that the fun thing like today when i walk out of the woods with the Springfield M1A loading up the 3 deer i killed all the other hunters gather around and checking it pass it around

The Democratic party retains control of the Senate by winning in Arizona and Nevada. The great red tsunami has proved to be a whirlpool down a drain.

Well it washed up enough to likely take the House. Unless of course the fix was in there too.

One thing that might indicate that it is, is that none of the remaining contests favoring the repubs have been updated in a couple of days now. Boberts race in Nevada for example has been at 98.95% counted since thursday. I wonder what happend. Did they take the long weekend off?

Whatever. It was really about what happened on January 6th and Ros vs. Wade more than anything else.

Don't know what either of those things have to do with a pause in vote counting but like you said, whatever.

Seriously, with all the focus on the integrity of the vote for the last two years, I doubt anything of serious consequence could have transpired, but that won't stop the spin machines and conspiracy echo chambers from trying to make hay.

Only until their court ordered sentence is complete (that includes any fines, probation, and/or parole). at which point they will have completed their punishment.

I can if I choose to. It is legal to own an automatic weapon in the U.S.

No it doesn't but where does the second amendment say that convicted felons CANNOT own firearms?
