    They want research done on the cost / benefits of active shooter drills, and how they can be improved. Nowhere in this does it say “Let’s do more of these drills.”

    The gun stuff isn’t just about 3d printing but all emerging technologies that can be used to produce illegal firearms. They are again trying to gather information on what can be done about it.

    There are also a bunch of suggestions like lock up your guns and funding for counseling and red flag laws.

    I would also like to point out that one of Harris’s policies is to raise the corporate tax rate, but that’s not what this executive order is about.





  • I just watched Hot Tub Time Machine for the first time the other day. The ending is incredibly messed up. They come back and stuff is different but they don’t have memory of the last 20 years? They just overwrote the new timeline versions of themselves. And Rob Corddry isn’t even sad about it, he’s basically like screw those guys that I’ve built my life around I got my messed up friends back.

    The rest of the movie is pretty good though.














  • Falconry in the US exists as an exclusion from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Both of these laws make it illegal to disrupt or possess native birds or their parts. Falconers successfully petitioned the government to let them take wild raptors from the wild as long as falconers themselves regulate the participants. If the falconers are not being respectful of the birds it would be incredibly easy to strip their privileges.

    In the same sense RC flying is a privilege from the FAA after too many people flew drones into airports and HAM is a privilege from the FCC to keep people from jacking up the airwaves.


  • I think those only need 1 test to play with them, and that’s because they are regulated by the government. They want people to follow the rules because if they don’t it can come down on all of them.

    The biggest one of these that I know of is falconry which requires 1 falconry test, 1 hunt test, 1 inspection, and finding a two year sponsor. Falconry is specifically set up to gatekeep as to protect the sport in the USA.
