I’m an outlaw. This is my confession. I will willfully break NJ Law, and I am unrepentant! Specifically, I will violate the upcoming ban on single-use plastic bags. Like all dog owners, I recycle grocery store plastic bags exactly once. The upcoming ban on bags was going to pose a problem. My preferred solution of letting my dog poop on Murphy’s lawn a couple of times a day is impractical, due to distance. Instead, I ordered a year’s supply of grocery-store plastic bags from out-of-state. I wanted to get them in ahead of the May 4 ban, since our AG’s office has already demonstrated they have nothing better to do than send threatening letters to out-of-state vendors demanding they stop selling otherwise legal products to NJ residents. Fortunately, my contraband slipped past the postal inspectors and made it to my house. Apparently, the Post Office is not yet employing polyethylene-sniffing dogs. The State Police have not yet descended on my home to make an example of me. After May 4, I can grab a handful of bags to take with me whenever I go to the store, then bring them home and relegate them to dog doodie. I like to think that when future history books write of significant acts of civil disobedience, mine will be included. Perhaps in a new Top 5 list! · The Sons of Liberty boarding ships and throwing chests of tea into Boston Harbor · Mohandas Gandhi’s Salt March · Rosa Parks’ refusal to move to the back of the bus · Student protester blocking a tank column at Tiananmen Square · 10X’s purchase of plastic bags for dog waste ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ!

This. Additionally, you are taking one of the most degradable substances on the planet - poop - and wrapping it in plastic so it lasts forever. Get biodegradable bags - you can get 1000 bio bags for $25.

Gun-banners hate ghost guns as they effectively negate most gun control schemes. This will bubble up to SCOTUS fairly shortly - The right to keep and bear arms doesn't have a clause that they must be from "approved" manufacturers, and there's a long history and precedent of homemade firearms in the U.S. . Computer controlled manufacturing is just going to get more precise, cheaper, smaller and faster as time goes on. Pretty soon they'll be reduced to attempting to regulate raw materials and electricity; or maybe, at that point, they'll finally realize the real problem is the people pulling the triggers, not the source of their weapons. Here you go - it's not the "official" version yet as it's not yet published in the federal register: https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/rulemaking/final-rule-2021r-05f-definition-frame-or-receiver-and-identification/download

I will say that used grocery bags are almost totally useless for doggy cleanup. There tends to be small holes that go unseen until it is too late.

So, you feel good with your gun safe? Ha!... that is NOT enough... you need one of THESE for a fully comprehensive security plan:

I'm building out a lab in one of our research centers; I went in last week to find two pallets full of boxes the size of case lots of .22, all labeled with the ORM-D sticker. I got very excited, thinking I'd somehow been given a lifetime supply of rimfire ammo, but upon reading the fine print on the boxes, it was a lifetime supply of alcohol wipes that someone had stashed in the lab since it is still otherwise unoccupied.

Wait.. in that order? If you sell them, do you become a BFL?
