    In my mind, there are already too many small, completely concealable 9mm/.40 pistols on the market to even consider carrying a .22. 

    True but not everybody can control a small 9 or .40 . . . If, for example, a small framed woman like my mother, is going to end up spraying .380 rounds all over the street during a carjacking, she (and everyone else) might be better off if she carried a .22.

    This would be a wonderful thing - Basically - disband the ATF and all the other alphabet boys!

    The point isn't to disband them but to limit them to the letter of the law.  

    Few realize that law passed by congress often contain language like, "the Secretary of Health and Human Services will determine . . . "  This passes the implementation and details of a bill off to an appointed department head who then passes the decision on to career bureaucrats.  Often, these bureaucrats do not even have the same goals as congress intended.  Congress gets to skirt responsibility.  The hope is that the court will require congress to spend more time hammering out details.

    Just ordered the first of the Swagger novels by Hunter . . . It will be here tomorrow and I can take it to the beach for the weekend.

    I've been talking about the drugging of our children for years.  It used to be that you would hear about the shooter's prescription drug history after these shootings.  I think that the anti-gun crowd has figured out that this is an issue so they have shut down the talk over the last several years.  Every one of these shooters profiles as someone whose school would have drugged them to keep them more compliant.

    When the people running the polls refuse to log complaints and then later point to the lack of complaints filed as proof of an honest system, what are you supposed todo?

    Keep complaining and keep working for change.

    Or, just give up.

    I didn't say that ALL problems like this are caused by moving boundaries.  But, the fact that you ended up in the same book doesn't make that impossible. 

    OK . . . The police didn't do anything.

    I understand that most people don't know that they can reach out to their representatives on election day.  That's why I explained it.  

    Someone from your county committee would have shown up even though only one person was reporting only one person potentially voting illegally.  They would have been able to question both poll workers those in charge and they may have been able to locate the voter in question in the books. 

    None of this means that a satisfactory outcome would have been reached that day.  But, remember, Democrats keep insisting that there are no problems because there are few reports and fewer charges filed.  This is one end of what is needed in order to initiate change.

    So why didn't Jack call or make some noise about wanting a recount?? Everybody knows the same happened to Trump. 10:00 PM all the fakes came in! Then Jack concedes! Was a deal made???

    Recounts cost a lot of money.  You have to put up a bond and if the election results aren't overturned OR if there is less then a 10% move, the requester foots the bill.

    You have to consider the likelihood of winning and look at what eventually happened around the country.  Tell me what difference would have been made.

    The real problem for Jack was the lack of support from the right.  That election could have been won but for the infighting in the party AND the lack of national attention.  Hannity has pointed out that he and others should have paid more attention to NJ and Jack might have pulled it out.

    @raz-0 . . . So, what you did was . . . Nothing?  The police wouldn't do anything?  You may have gotten an incident report as documentation of your complaint. 

    You then go on to write several paragraphs about your problem, which IS serious but has nothing to do with the original post.

    When you see something, say something.  Call your county GOP leadership from the polling place.  If you don't have that information try to get a hold of one of the candidates.  When I was running for assembly last year, I spent most of a Saturday afternoon, at an early polling location because someone reported problems with a voting machine.  Then, on election day, I received a call from my aunt who has lived in the same house for 30 years and was told that she was not on the roles.  I met her at her polling place and the problem was resolved in about 20 minutes.  She was on the role and she was allowed to vote.  Later, I received a Facebook message from someone that I went to HS with and he was having the same problem.  I called our county chairman and that problem was resolved as well.  

    I found out later that many of these problems happen due to changing district and ward boundaries.  That doesn't account for anywhere near ALL of the problems but it makes sense when the poll worker said you were not "in the book" but the county clerk said you were registered.  You were likely in another book and you are likely still there.

    You don't say.

    I've witnessed people blatantly bragging about voting multiple times in multiple districts AT the polling place. Nobody does anything, and it's not clear there is anything they could do. As far as I can tell it would require proactive maintenance and policing prior to the day of. 

     

    "Nobody does anything . . . "

    What did YOU do?

    My girlfriend just got a judgement against someone who was supposed to install flooring in our home and ghosted us after taking an $1100 check.  

    This happened just about a year ago and we tried to work with him until the fall.  She just received notice that the court has granted a judgement (he first refused to be served and then failed to show in court) and now we have to collect.  I know it's not a big sum and we spent over $100K renovating the house.  It's the principle of the thing.

    She is trying to get a copy of the back side of the check from her bank.  If the account number is there and the account is still open the court will lien the account and take the money/  My guess though is that that account is either empty or closed.

    Does anybody have any experience or suggestions that might help?

    First choice:  Don't buy there.  

    You are going to find more and more of this in online transactions.  In this case, you are buying a gun which has restrictions placed on them (particularly the weapon you are buying, an "other") by the federal government and all 50 state governments.  No online dealer wants to run afoul of the ATF, the DOJ or any of the states.  Identity theft is a huge problem all around the world and all organizations are affected.

    My bank uses a voice print to identify me when I call them.  It was voluntary but it is much easier then jumping through hoops every time I need to talk to someone.  

    Second choice:  Comply with their requirements.
