ChaoticEntropy

Hawaii state Senator Joy Buenaventura, who is typically a supporter of gun control measures, said the bill would criminalize existing owners of assault rifles, per Hawaii News Now.

She said: "Now, by their mere possession, because we decide to pass this bill, we decide to label them as criminals and that to me, it's unethical and should not be tolerated by this body."

However, Senate Judiciary chair Karl Rhoads disagreed with this take on the bill saying it allowed for "grandfathering."

Sooo... which is it?

But yeah. Obviously America should do this.

The point being that you can't be tried for the same crime by different courts at the same time, one court has to take precedence and run the full process to its conclusion. Also the "Not Guilty" plea isn't to say he didn't commit a crime but that they won't admit "Guilty" to what has been proposed as the crime(s) and then be instantly hit with whatever the prosecution wants, i.e. death penalty. The process needs to play out legitimately, and will likely lead to conviction but of crime(s) and with a sentence that is more acceptable to the defence.

If you shoplifted and then are charged with a laundry list of crimes in addition to and more severe than theft, that would result in vastly more severe consequences, you're probably not going to put in a "Guilty" plea for that list.

Everyone's getting new South American wives who are here on day passes that can revoked at any time. They have no legal status or rights whilst here, and their piece of shit masters can do what they please. We'll call it chattel slav... wifery.

So... he wants more greencard marriages...? Is that what he's saying?

And straight driving anyone who can't weather the storm out of business. Especially once the "exceptions" start rolling in.

The privileged are blessed/cursed with the breathing space for foresight, anticipating and trying to avoid all the pitfalls and problems that they can foresee... which are endless. People in survival mode are living day-to-day, hand-to-mouth, and have no time to consider their long game.

The US government really is just being vandalised.

It's such a wonderful coincidence that they managed to pick up and deport, what is reportedly, the most dangerous man in America by accident. These guys are really batting for a thousand here.

Because he is happy to licence his face and brand to any Tom, Dick or Harry. He certainly got his payment, so oh well.

An insane man surrounded by amoral, self-serving handlers and white supremacists.

Indifferently.

The result of any form of armed coup will always be decided by the military. You'll have to see how deep the administration can sink its claws there before something happens.
