• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.
  • The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Looks like the po po are happy to use bombs against us -- so bombs covered by RKBA

The only way the government has the authority to use any weapon is because we delegated the authority to them. We didn't give up the authority just because we delegated it.

we gave the chief of police, someone hired by a city manager, hired by a city council, not elected by the citizens the authority to capture, try, sentence, and then carry out the sentence by using C4 to blow the suspect to bits just cuz said chief was tired of dealing with the suspect?

military aren't even granted QI and are provided civilian oversight to hold their actions/activities under check.

please do not say we delegated the power to them...
