Opposite for me, I plan on vacationing to somewhere I can have more fun with my kids.

Oh no we cannot allow plebs to do anything that has the possibility no matter how small of a bad outcome.
agensaequivocum··on US Supreme Court drug users cannot be prohibited from firearms [pdf]
They're not from AI. And that's because most judges are hacks and the supreme court is generally a bunch of corporate hacks who slow walk 2nd amendment challenges.

> The physique and the manly appearance of the American people seems to make them well suited for the military profession. The young people very early get used to traveling and toil. Hunting is the young men's chief pasttime. This not only strengthens them bodily but teaches them to handle guns and thus prepares them for the hardships of war. In addition to this every free man has a right to keep arms in his house and to use them when he wants.

~ America 1818-1820 - Baron Klinkowstrom

> The constitution of the United States contains a number of expres limitation upon the Federal legislative power. In addition to those contained in the first then Amendments relative to freedom of religion, speech, and press, the quartering of troops, the right of the people to assemble, to petition, to keep and bear arms, to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizures...

~ Education in a Republic (1838) - Edward Everett

> A man may arm himself for a case of probable danger; he may do it with a view to no specific occurrence, and he may do it in self-defense. Who can object to it? The constitution guarantees to every man the right bear arms. No law takes it away, and none every can. The right of self-defense is an inherent one, given by God, to man. It is our own natural right, and, as Blackstone says, no human legislation can ever take it from us.

This is an insane opinion. In the same way, I care about what movies, music, YouTube videos my children consume because they all can have a massive impact on a child's development.

This is not true.
agensaequivocum··on Court records reveal Sig Sauer knew of pistol risks for years
The federal statute only prohibits the AG from promulgating a rule that would require the feds or the states from maintaining a registry. While unconstitutional, many states already have one such as CA, CT, DC, HI, MD, MI, NJ, NY.

You should reread Bruen there is not an "Objective Criteria" test for gun laws. There is a text history and tradition one which ownership licensing completely fails.

agensaequivocum··on Show HN: I built a daily sunlight tracker
Really the conclusion of that paper, that people are not vitamin D deficient, ought to be that people are sunlight deficient. This is why studies that involve supplementation of vitamin D frequently show no effect. Vitamin D is only one of many many ways in which light affects biology.

The paragraph near the end about babies needing fortified milk because breast milk is insufficient in vitamin D is laughable. It seems pretty obvious that babies are one of the most, if not the most, sunlight deficient demographics.

Morning and evening sun are excellent due to the high levels of Near-IR and IR. However, it is devoid of UVB needed for vitamin D synthesis. You need morning, evening, and midday sun.

agensaequivocum··on US Supreme Court limits federal judges' power to block Trump orders
All I'm saying is that all inferior courts exist at the pleasure of congress. They can remove all power and force all the district and appeals court judges of power and put them effectively into retirement. The only thing that congress cannot do, without impeachment, is lower or remove their salary.

"The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office."

Sure there are plenty of great 2a orgs and great progress has been made in the right to carry space as more than half the states are now permitless carry when 30 years ago half the states were either may issue or no issue.

The point is the Democratic run states refuse to follow the constitution when it comes to the 2a. The courts especially the 9th twist the Supreme Court precedent and outright lie to uphold every garbage gun control law California passes. SCOTUS just doesn't care enough about the 2a to correct the blatant middle finger lower courts keep giving them.

agensaequivocum··on US Supreme Court limits federal judges' power to block Trump orders
He's not but the constitution vests him with all executive power. This is broad. It's also a co-equal branch. The inferior courts don't even need to exist. Congress can dissolve them at any time. It's a gross violation of the separation of powers for a district court to enjoin executive action.

It does take them months or years when they don't care to enforce something. Multiple times they've refused to reinstate a preliminary injection in "assault" weapon bans because it's inappropriate to get involved at a preliminary stage. Then we get a final judgment well we really need "more percolation first." But when it comes to other issues like transgender mutilation surgeries, abortion, or Trump they'll happily step in and reinstate an injection or issue one.

DC v Heller filed in 2003 supreme court decision in 2008

NYSRPA v Bruen filed 2018 decision 2022.

Miller v Bonta filed in 2018 still pending after being GVRd after bruen. Currently waiting for 521 days for another opinion from the 9th.

Young v Hawaii filed 2012 GVRd then dismissed in 2022 as Bruen answered the same issue.

Harrel v Raoul filed 2023 in 2024 the Supreme Court declined to reinstated the preliminary injunction that the Appeals court stayed. Still pending.

Ocean State Tactical v Rhode Island filed in 2022. The Supreme Court declined to instate a preliminary injunction in May of 2025. Still pending.

Renna v Bonta currently at 675 days waiting for an opinion from the 9th.

Boland v Bonta currently at 675 days waiting for an opinion from the 9th.

Palmer v Lombardo currently at 781 days waiting for an opinion from the 9th.

Koons v Platkin currently at 612 days waiting for an opinion from the 3rd.

There are many more cases with the same pattern.

agensaequivocum··on US Supreme Court limits federal judges' power to block Trump orders
Partisan organizations are running to judges late on Friday nights, "randomly" getting judges who issue a TRO before the government even is informed of the lawsuit let alone respond. We are talking about blocking the executive from action before any argument is made in the merits. That's not at all consistent with co-equal branches. If they kept this up, Trump would rightly echo Andrew Jackson "Well, John Marshall has made his decision, but now let him enforce it."

Aquinas is explaining the formal cause i.e, the soul. The physical particulars of how digestion work would be the agent and material causes. He wouldn't deny that they exist. Modern science erroneously disregards formal and final causality.
