ReconRat

Ok, I just read (PDF) US Army Field Manual FM 3-19.15, Civil Disturbance Operations, and I don't see the hysteria. Official US Army web based copy here. This is the same basic training regular troops had to take if they were on call for riot control. Or not, I did riot control and never got the training. It probably didn't exist back then. Most of it is for operations off shore at the direction of the United Nations. (Or the protection of US territory or property.) In part, it is for operations in the continental United States, in federal actions to protect Civil Rights. Also at the request of a State, like in a natural disaster. About the only thing I see, is how the federal troops should respond if fired upon. So, moving on to DA Civil Disturbance Plan 55-2. Not finding an authorized copy, but it appears to be a DA supporting document for the mil-spec above. It outlines US Air Force support. It didn't help that it was limited distribution. Let's try Department of Defense DIRECTIVE NUMBER 3025.12 - Military Assistance for Civil Disturbances (MACDIS) A matching DoD document that authorizes the aspects of the mil-spec. Control of forces remain under direction and control of State authorities. Primary responsibilities are with the State's National Guard units. Action requires organized or unorganized violence that the State would need help with. Not much to see. Trying Department of Defense DIRECTIVE NUMBER 5525.5 - DoD Cooperation with Civilian Law Enforcement Officials. Definitions and outlines penalties for violation of "Posse Comitatus". Notably includes the following: There is also a separate directive for the District of Columbia.It didn't help that some of the documents were limited distribution, and had the code name "Operation Garden Plot". Just not seeing it. Only usable in WTF SHTF conditions. And requires organized or unorganized violence uncontrollable by the State. BUT: There was the Whiskey Rebellion, and that war with Utah that the US pretty much lost. Plus other little actions, like intervention on Federal land at Wounded Knee.

It also does not apply to the active or inactive organized militia of a state. It also does not apply to the unorganized militia of a state should the state call upon them. Both can be used as powers of the state for affairs of the state at the discretion of the state. edit: And I see this is on Jim Garrow's facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/jim.garrow.1/posts/10151209214442015

I had no idea. I hadn't read the text of that one yet. But I'm not surprised at something like that. edit: I found at least one other one like that introduced. I'll make sure it's added.

Dude, I'm not arguing anything. You are. I posted an interesting law. Add to that, I have no idea what you are talking about.

*shakes head*.... there were a variety of types of muskets. Your typical quality civilian musket was rifled, extremely accurate, and reloaded rather slowly. Your typical military musket had a bayonet/mount (very important), reloaded quickly, and wasn't too accurate but didn't need to be. Combat was done in a skirmish line firing fusillades. The fledgling American Army preferred the citizen militia to have the military musket. but they were rare and hard to come by, unless purchased by the government and loaned out to militia units. The experienced British Army preferred the American militias to have military muskets also. Part of that was the civilian muskets were too darn accurate. Huge amounts of American militia actually fought for the British against American independence. They lost. The British thought American militia on both sides were worthless. They lost the battle also. edit: The majority of the US states passed or introduced the bill that Georgia is presenting, back in 2010-11. Georgia was a little late. Most stayed in committee, but this year many were brought back and passed. Federal government already officially responded with a "nuhuh no way", but outcomes remain to be seen. legal/medical marijuana being one of the examples. opinion: the civilian musket probably won the American Revolution at the battle of Kings Mountain, NC. It was all downhill for the British after that. American "Mountain Men" approached and fired from cover using experienced and accurate muskets. They won. The Americans had a right to be angry, the British were marching and destroying/looting/burning everything they encountered.

The United States Department of Justice says about this statute: Section 241 of Title 18 is the civil rights conspiracy statute. Section 241 makes it unlawful for two or more persons to agree together to injure, threaten, or intimidate a person in any state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or the laws of the Unites States, (or because of his/her having exercised the same). Unlike most conspiracy statutes, Section 241 does not require that one of the conspirators commit an overt act prior to the conspiracy becoming a crime. The offense is punishable by a range of imprisonment up to a life term or the death penalty, depending upon the circumstances of the crime, and the resulting injury, if any. http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/crm/241fin.php Jury Instructions for 18 U.S.C. Section 242. Title 18, United States Code, Section 242 makes it a crime to deprive any person of his civil rights under color of law. For you to find the defendant guilty, the government must prove each of the following beyond a reasonable doubt: First, that [name of victim] was present in [name of state]; Second, that the defendant deprived [name of victim] of a right secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States [the right infringed must be identified], or to different punishments, pains, or penalties on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color or race; Third, that the defendant acted under color of law; and Fourth, that the defendant acted willfully.

You know, the mag prices on the Magpul website haven't gone up. They might have better access to a steady supply. I haven't tried this. http://store.magpul.com/prod_detail_list/PMAG nevermind, it all says "please order from distributor"

I know this. You were supposed to be laughing at the image of throwing a rifle.

To make it worse, every furnace and thermostat I've looked at, would have random hookups for the various colored wires. Definitely take a picture or notes. Extra worse, those schematics on the furnace can often be wrong, or look nothing like what the installer actually did. Other than that, they are fairly simple, and it's not too hard to figure it out. Even if you have to go see what those wires are connected to on the furnace.

haha, not reading anything wrong. Might want to read the other USCs that were written at the same time as this one.

"...allows the weapon to be used as a spear." I don't think my drill Sargent would have been very happy with me if I had fixed bayonet, stood up and launched my rifle like a spear.

It's the short stretch where 71 jogs to the East before going North again. Past the German Village area. East bound 70 slowing down also. Accident was just around the corner on the North bound stretch.

From above: 04+ 1000RR uses the same shock with same compression and rebound. One inch longer. I don't think it fits. One of the wrist twisters links shows pics of how a guy did it. It required cutting a hole for the reservoir clearance, and heat shielding near the exhaust. Seems like too much work to me.

Google map with traffic shows dead stop at the Westerville curve south bound NE. Dead stop backed up east bound at intersection 71 and 270. Traffic slow to very slow at most intersections on Morse, 161, route 3, Hamilton Rd, and Cleveland Avenue. Basically North East side trying to enter gridlock. Dead stop south bound 71 at Middletown. Very slow or stopped at two places in Cincinnati, on East bound 275 at Northgate (Rt 27/126) and West bound 275 at Forest Park (Winston Rd). Roads in adjacent areas slow. Freeway cameras show empty freeway approaching and departing Southbound 270 at Westerville, but can't see the accident. Roads look clear of snow.

Here, try this. This is a civil rights law against groups targeting people trying to exercise legal and constitutional rights. But I wouldn't be surprised if it could be applied against any group that got out of control in targeting others. Conspiracy Against Rights (18 USC 241) If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured — They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death. Good luck trying to arrest hysterical congressmen and senators. I rather think they would vanish and be very hard to find. Somebody needs to build a case against them for "conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate". I rather imagine they already know the fine line they walk.

There's a link on the webpage that describes how the percentages are calculated. Basically, hardly anything ever gets out of committee or becomes law. So those basic attributes are applied to all. And for the most part, reasonably reliable. If that changes, the percentage will change also. Here's the webpage that details the methodology: http://www.govtrack.us/about/analysis#prognosis

Or the lack of Common Sense. "sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts." "Often ideas that may be considered to be true by common sense are in fact false." cum hoc ergo propter hoc - a faulty assumption that correlation between two variables implies that one causes the other.

Like with everything that they shouldn't have if they are criminal or violent or mentally unstable or simply incapable. It's not really the artifact, it's some of the people that are not trustworthy. In rural communities and small cities it just isn't a problem. Everyone would probably know and deal with it as best they could. Not true in the larger urban environments. And that's where we find the large concentrations of everything generally unacceptable to society and mass quantities of violent behavior.

More laws trying to regulate, ban, register, etc motor vehicles probably wouldn't work anyway. People would just pay cash, borrow or steal one when they needed it. oh wait...

lol, more like car races. I see people get hurt at car races all the time. Obviously that should require all cars of a certain type to be registered and banned.

Per those CDC numbers, it makes gun shows an incredibly safe place to be. Regardless of a nationwide maximum case of 5 wounded in 3 incidents on one day. one in 5,281,218 per capita per day one in 14469 per capita per year At those rates, you'd see something happen in every gun show at least once a year. It appears to me that the political hysteria has brought people who don't normally handle weapons, out to try and sell their stuff. Hoping to cash in on the upswing. Except the guy that shot himself through the hand. That was just plain stupid.

Front forks aren't that bad to work on, but sometimes not fun the first time. How about, get Tpoppa's F3 shock, pull the front forks, and drop it all off at a shop the guys recommend for a rebuild? Updating the front forks to 2007 status as an option. I dunno about all that bad stock for a UJM. My front forks were fine till this last year. They were good for 10 years with no maintenance. And like I said, I can live with the stiff spring on the rear shock. Of course, I only have known 1960s, and 1970s bikes to compare it to. I have no experience with truly modern suspension.

Upgrading to new 2007 front fork assemblies would be 483.84 discount each - 967.68 There are only seven parts that are different from the 2002. The two most expensive is the spring and the damper. Spring is probably going to be aftermarket anyway, and not sure about the damper. Each fork for all seven parts is 254.03 Each fork minus the spring is 211.88 Each fork minus the spring and damper is 54.68 in parts So the question is, can an old damper be reworked for an upgrade. edit: answer; not likely

Well, I was going to ask about that F3 match up, but I think I'd rather look for a 2004-07 rear shock for my 2002 and work on the front suspension instead. Even the 2005-07 front suspension with it's adjustability, is way different from a non-adjustable 2002-04 front suspension. A lot smoother everywhere. I definitely feel the difference. edit: stock rear shock details: 2002-03 was the same 2004-06 was different 2007 was changed again 2002-03 52400-MCZ-641 $638.70 discount price new 2004-06 52400-MCZ-D11 $617.91 discount price new 2007 52400-MCZ-D31 $651.37 discount price new If buying used, check part number. People will sell the 2002-03 shock as if it's a newer unit.

Haha, the state house does it every time the administration changes parties. Throw them all out and start over. Discrimination by political affiliation isn't on the list.
