You are ignoring reality in both the demographics of most illegal immigrants, hyperbolic reporting, and the overall very low rate of incidence of citizens being detained for *immigration* issues.

Note that your own (vague, and deliberately misrepresentational) article obliquely notes that 130 of that 170 citizens were detained after interfering, that leaves just 40 out of tens of thousands - and the government must address and be held responsible for those errors and alleged abuses - but that's hardly jack-booted thuggery.

You don't understand the law or the reality.

Public is public. The government can face-scan you just like I can take a picture of you.
Immigrants are subject to identification requirements whenever/wherever, period.
Illegal immigrants have no constitutional protections or rights.

A previous administration attempted to force asylum seekers to wait their turn for a hearing outside the country.

This is pretty much the same in every country, and for those that didn't have those rules - well you can see how well that's worked out.

Warhol licensed the photo to make one derivative work for Vanity Fair. He made a series of variations, and VF chose and published the one they wanted.

FF years later when Warhol dies they chose to use the other unused variations that were not covered by the license, and they choose to try to worm out of paying by claiming it's transformative.

It was a bullshit excuse, and a simple case.

This article says food production is 30% of greenhouse gases.
This other site says Agriculture/Food/Forestry is 20% https://ourworldindata.org/emi...

Whichever is right, it's clear that energy production is the largest issue with 60-80% of emissions. If you solve that you don't have to worry too much about policing people's diets.

Then you're clueless. Once it gets into the subculture populations it's game over. Look at SanFran/bay area California - when the virus hits the homeless population there's no stopping it in that city.

Long incubation times, symptom-free carriers, and global travel. It's already to late - the virus will hit everywhere, it's just a matter of time.

>For generations BEFORE that the SC held that the right to bear arms was inseparable from their military use. So it was not legal to own a sawed off shotgun because it's not a valid weapon of war: United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939).

You mean judicial activism from liberal plants on the SC?

Dumbass thinks that just because it happened in the past it was somehow right. Somehow forgets all the other racist, mysoginistic, etc laws that the court supported back then.

>in how many of those states is it currently legal to build your own gun though? surely in quite many of them? furthermore you can just go to a hw store and get everything necessary for a zip gun anyways and ammo as well?

Basically all of them. In the US it's not illegal to make a firearm at home. You just can't sell it. You also don't have to register or add a serial number to the firearms you make for yourself.

So making plans illegal seems to be more of a 1st amendment issue, as the actual act of 3D printing a firearm isn't illegal.
