To those who are in the Masters, I'd like to put up to a vote whether we should keep phases for future rounds at 48 hours, or move to 36 hour phases. There are five rounds to play, and Round 3 will be launching in the next two weeks.

Anything beyond regulation of manufacture forband sale across state lines is outside Congress' power. That's why the FBI and DEA only.pursue marijuana cases in California if a supplier is caught transporting across state lines. They don't want to deal with their entire house of cards collapsing when CA's AG took them to court for interferring in state affairs not involving interstate commerce.

If you are referring to the Gun Free Zones Act, I can find nowhere that says it was deemed unconstitutional. In fact, it is still on the books as far as I can see. That's why I would like a link saying that is has.

I will continue to look for some sort of SCOTUS ruling.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun-Free_School_Zones_Act_of_1990

Points out the act was found unconstitutional and Reno and Clinton made a modification in another act to technically usurp SCOTUS' ruling in Lopez versus the US.
jimgov (219 D(B))
21 Apr 13 UTC
It appears that it was originally ruled unconstitutional as it was written (the 1990 version), but amendments were made to it (the 1995 version) that answered the SCOTUSs ruling. It is still in effect.
Draugnar (0 DX)
21 Apr 13 UTC
Fact is the act as written in 1990 was found unconstitutional and it would not apply to a home made gun or one that was manufactured and bought in the same state.

But, as I pointed out, gun free zones ARE constitutional. You just have to write them correctly.

Clinton got around that ruling with some law he passed in '97... I don't know what it was. They were called unconstitutional in "US v. Lopez" but anyone with half a brain can understand that, logically, guns should be illegal in school zones.

Because criminals don't follow laws blah blah blah we've heard it before. If criminals followed laws, we wouldn't have them. If you think laws are useless, join me in my desire for a completely uninvolved government.

Homicidal sociopaths want victims, not opponents.

I'm not advocating banning gun-free zones because criminals don't follow laws, I want to ban gun-free zones because no one who is qualified to CC is going to shoot up a place.

GF - A blanket statement like that is quite obviously unprovable. But more to the point, a fully qualified CC licensee could have aental break and blow away a school full of kids. Maybe this card carrying gun fanatic had hsi kid raped by classmates and nbody else did anything so he cracked and took the gun to the school in search of the perps.
Gunfighter06 (224 D)

Well, in that case a gun-free zone sign isn't going to stop him any more than it would stop the homicidal sociopath.

So many people know me, I don't even recognise them.
I just walked the dog. Came by a few kids, Morrocan roots I think. I'm white, not a racist, just noticed it usually happens with people with foreign roots, Morrocan most of the time. So any way, one of them said my name, asked about my dog blabla. Turns out they all knew me. I didn't answer. Just walked on. I don't get it. Anyone recognises this or anything?

CDs in Gunboat live games
This is so annoying! In the last games we have at least 2-3 CDs per game. Of course, everthing can happen, what you don't can scheduling, but currently, it is strengthened according to my observation. Isn't it?

Because of shit like this, is why you don't have more registered users. I'm not going to be playing my games anymore, my wife isn't going to be playing hers, and I highly doubt myself or my friends will play on here ever again. Here's the email I just got from the admin:
