      FAH, would love to see something about Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland possibly unifying soon(ish). I know UK folks may be frowning on that but I'm just kinda really wishing Ireland becomes whole again. I'm old enough to remember when Germany was 2 places, and then it became 1. it was a heart-tugging, teary-eyed moment of human history. don't the Irish want something like that for themselves?

      Actually, we only claim that on St Paddy's Day, when douse ourselves with green body paint, wear green clothing, and get blinding drunk...just like in Ireland
      sidebar: when the Colonists initiated a violent, military action to overthrow the established, sovereign, legitimate government of the land, we called that War of Independence. When several southern states initiated a violent, military action to overthrow the established, sovereign, legitimate government of the land, we called that an Insurrection.

      @@RamblinRick_ Ah my friend you fail to see the most important fact differentiating, when the United Colonies of America rebelled they did the smart thing and won. When the poor sods who decided to go and start the Slaveholder's Rebellion rebelled they made the key mistake of not winning, this as we can see in hindsight, was a poor decision from a PR standpoint and has resulted in them failing to claim a their rebellion as a war of independence due to the fact that they remain firmly dependent.

      My least tactful moment was when I was in Dallas around St. Patrick's day, and I was getting thoroughly jaded by just how green and faux-Irish everything was, when someone actually said that to me. I responded, "Oh, how long have you been here? You don't have the accent." They said "Oh, I haven't been there myself..." at which point I found myself bursting out "Pedigree is for dogs!" I immediately apologised profusely but they wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the trip.

      If you live in Pennsylvania, you just go to the totally legal fireworks store. If in NY or NJ, you go over the state line to the totally legal PA fireworks store. (Not sure about MD or OH as I don’t live near those borders.). Used to be you went to Canada to get them (moments of concern when the 4-H trip bus was checked at the border-or got them from Canadians coming down to the Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. We were so excited as kids when someone threw us a pack of firecrackers when we gave directions to the track).

      It is pretty obvious how much damage fireworks could do to a counter and the store it is in. So fireworks are available in the parking lot and you buy them over the folding table in a temporary store. I guess the parking lots in Ireland aren't as big so you don't see those temporary stores over there. If you got the space, who wouldn't take sensible precautions to protect buildings and furniture?!

    • @silverjohn6037
      @silverjohn6037 29 днів тому +4

      Not quite that simple despite what some people say;). There is a Federal law requiring the shop call a hot line for a quick check before selling the gun but, so long as you have proper ID and don't have any red flags (criminal convictions for example), you can usually get through the process in as little as 2-3 hours in some states. Other more... (can you call them liberal when they have strict laws?) states it can take months or even never if the local political machines doesn't sign off on the approval.

      Now Gun Shows even have rules requiring background checks "if you sell guns predominantly to earn a profit"
      The Supremely Corrupt Court will probably throw out the new rules and existing background check requirements because reducing the availability of individuals who can form an unstable armed mob is too much of an intrusion on their concept of Presidential power.

    As with many things in the US, fireworks regulations vary vastly from state to state and even within a state. This makes any local/state level attempt to regulate fireworks kind of pointless, because you can always just drive to the next area that doesn't regulate them. A good example of this is the city of Chicago bans the sale of fireworks, but just across the border in Indiana there's a giant fireworks store.

    • @armymutt25A
      @armymutt25A 24 дні тому

      That's why freedom wins! If Chicago really cared, they would have check points set up, like California does for fish. Instead, Chicago wants to blame IN for its problems rather than fix the problem internally. They never seem to be able to explain why Indiana doesn't have the same problems despite having less regulations.

    Great upload today. Appreciate the nod to US history. Our revolt arose when Britain decided to levy taxes on the colonists to pay for the costs of maintaining a military presence here. Taxation without representation was the battle cry. Now, independent as we are and representation in Congress as we have, we still grumble about taxes. Go figure!

      More like lawyers and smugglers (“smuggling” being defined by Oliver Cromwell as British colonists buying from Dutch traders, meaning that basically everyone in the 13 colonies who had money was engaged in smuggling since Dutch goods were cheaper) trying to gain independence from tax men and German mercenaries (George III hired Prussian soldiers to put down the rebellion) and British nobles (who got high officer positions on the basis of birthright).

They replied back saying she can't sue because it was a work related injury and she had to file for worker's comp.
      Luckily a judge was smart enough to tell the school administration that getting shot on the job shouldn't be considered an inherit risk for an elementary school teacher and her lawsuit was able to proceed.

Handguns, on the other hand, require a background check, which can take days, and sometimes a waiting period even when the background check takes minutes, and some people are ineligible. And they aren't typically sold in places that sell candy and other convenience items (though they used to be). Just making sure everyone knows it's not actually THAT easy to get a handgun here.
