Are you suggesting that a significant number of Republicans agree with that?

Reindeer Flotilla

I think the point is that bio-plastic insulation would be even more attractive to rodents.

Are you having a bad trip? You're constantly posting delusions.

Oh look! Another "Bu-bu-but hey didn't do it right!" nitwit!

There are big differences. The FBI us operating far past its legal boundaries. Furthering the DNC's political goals is higher priority than enforcing laws that are in line with the US Constitution. The "defund the police" chants have resulted in massive crime waves. Defunding the FBI is all about making it back off and do only what it is legally allowed to do.

Imagine being so naive that you think you're safe because police and you live in a "good" neighborhood. As if those who can't live in such neighborhoods don't deserve the means to defend themselves. Never mind that violent crime happens not just where homes are.

Maybe if you didn't knee-jerk like that, you'd see that a lot of places, not just Fox, are reporting on the IRS's SWAT team. Do you even know the background of the "Faux news" meme?

Maybe if the IRS wasn't trying to maintain armed officers and swat teams, they'd be able to pay for more accountants.

Tricky. Entrapment as a defense requires that the accused to have been forced. For example "Take this cocaine to my buddy or I kill your family!" as in John Delorean's case. So a corrupt prosecutor could say "You could have just not sought a permit. The prosecution rests.".

But now that owning and carrying arms is re-recognized as a civil right, those paying the bribes could legitimately be called crime victims.

The problem with that is that the current administration hates the idea of commoners having the means of self-defense. In line with thit, it has recently used a perversion of that trick by yanking federal funds from schools with shooting sports programs. In other words: "Got a skeet team? No funds for you!". Litigation over this started almost immediately.

For insight on this, look in detail at what various state and local governments did in the wake of Brown v Board of Education. TLDR: they flipped off the SCOTUS, ignored the ruling, and ramped up their unconstitutional laws and policies.

For a fun exercise, look up "California City". It was very similar - a big preplanned utopia in California. It got as far as surveying and doing some early dirt work, but very little was actually built. It's now nearly a ghost town surrounded by vast grids of proto-roads, never to be completed.

What 1000 year old technology do you mean? Vaccination was invented in 1796 by Edward Jenner to protect against smallpox. That was 227 years ago, not 1000. If you're thinking of variolation, that started sometime in the 1500s, also not 1000 years ago.

For starters: Huckleberry Finn. Unintended Consequences. Some by Edgar Rice Burroughs and assorted D&D books because sexist. Anything by Massad Ayoob. Military history books. Books on hunting. Books on weapons.
