SCOTUSBlog: Judge Kavanaugh and the Second Amendment
That's exactly the point, everything looks good on paper -did anybody ever think that seat would get flipped until the accusations against Moore stated pouting in?--until the realities on the ground hits you in the face. In politics, three months are several lifetimes. I'm cautiously optimistic on the senate.

SCOTUSBlog: Judge Kavanaugh and the Second Amendment
Sure, we understand that, but the point a lot of us have have made is that there were much safer choices. Take Judge Willett. Is there any doubts where he stands? Judge Willett dissenting on banning the interstate sale of handguns over the counter: "...Constitutional scholars have dubbed the Second Amendment “the Rodney Dangerfield of the Bill of Rights.” 1 As Judge Ho relates, it is spurned as peripheral, despite being just as fundamental as the First Amendment. It is snubbed as anachronistic, despite being just as enduring as the Fourth Amendment. It is scorned as fringe, despite being just as enumerated as the other Bill of Rights guarantees. "The Second Amendment is neither second class, nor second rate, nor second tier. The “right of the people to keep and bear Arms”2 has no need of penumbras or emanations. It’s right there, 27 words enshrined for 227 years. The core issue in this case is undeniably weighty: Does the federal criminalization of interstate handgun sales offend We the People’s “inherent right of self-defense?” http://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/15/15-10311-CV1.pdf

SCOTUSBlog: Judge Kavanaugh and the Second Amendment
Cool, but you forgot to quote the most troubling part concerning Kavanaugh. Let me help you: "...A more significant question, though, is whether a Supreme Court that included Kavanaugh might take a more expansive view of the Second Amendment and strike down some existing gun laws. Kavanaugh’s track record suggests that he might be willing to do so for at least some gun laws, although he does not regard the Second Amendment as creating an absolute right to have or carry a gun. It’s not clear, though, what effect Kavanaugh’s views would have on the court: The answer may hinge on the votes of his colleagues, and in particular Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito."

Anyone here scrap cars?
it's worse than that. I may be wrong but I think the deduction is limited to whatever amount the charity auctions off the car. There are exceptions where you can claim the fair market value; if the charity uses the car for their own use or sells it below market value to a need person. Chances are a car like the op's will end up sold for scrap anyway. Personally, I've driven two hoopties to the scrap yard and pocketed the 200 cash.

Here's the thing with the 9th, even dead judges can cast deciding votes 4 months after they died. Cripto voting is not just for elections. http://yalejreg.com/nc/nearly-four-months-after-his-death-judge-reinhardt-casts-the-deciding-vote-in-an-important-tax-exceptionalism-case-altera-v-commissioner-of-internal-revenue/

The chief justice is always included. The other 10 justices are chosen randomly.

U.S. appeals court upholds right to carry gun in public
Minor quibble, in case of the nutty 9th, a court with 25 active judges and 4 vacancies, an en banc court consists of 11 judges. The court has refused every request to have cases heard by all the judges.

NJ state troopers attempt gun confiscation because man's son criticizes school security weakness?
He wasn't attacked for that. He was told to STFU because he was doing a play by play, live, as the situation unfolded...."shit's going down...the cops are at the house....I'm on the phone with Nappen..." Shit like that. A lot of those posts were deleted to protect him from himself. To be fair to Shawn, he used to get a lot of shit here. Naturally he also go a lot of it for this incident. He was called a dolt for posting a picture of his kid with a gun. He was accused to be milking the incident for self promotion. He used to post when and where his next interview was going to air. He created a facebook page titled "shawn's public personna" or some other shit like that. Yes, got if for that too. So, yes he absolutely was attacked here. Some may have been warranted but some, most certainly, wasn't. But he absolutely was not attacked for standing up to the police, at least not in public. But, since not many people knew Rosey---really man? Why?----had narc'ed to his attorney about his winnings, it is also likely he was attacked in private.

.22lr CCI Mini-Mag vs Remington Golden
Yeah, but y'all have to remember greenday is a younger man. He never knew life before cell phones and the Internet. His expectations are a lot different than ours. But, yes @Greenday waiting a week or so for ammo to be shipped is not all that unusual. Once it gets on the truck, you'll get in a couple of days. Now, be a god boy and do as ms peel told you -you should always listen to a woman wearing leather as a general principle- and buy more, a lot more.

Heading to Niagra Falls, what to see?
Very few don't whack you. Capital one is one of the few that don't. Or you could open an online checking account with Charles Schwab. When you use their debit card, not only you don't get charged an exchange fee but also they wave any ATM fees you may incur worldwide.

Ain't that something? And @Greenday since you seem to be newish to the gun game, let me offer this piece of unsolicited advice; everytime there's a school mass shooting panic driven shortages and price increases set in. We are now at pre SandyHook price levels. It doesn't take a lot work to find brass 9MM for about 17c/round. Federal even had a rebate program sometime ago that lowered the cost to 13c/14c. That same ammo was 28c/30c in early 2013 if you could find any and that was the biggest issue. Between the hoarders and resellers camping outside the walmart before opening time, there was no ammo to be had. The market, now, is awash with ammo. It's time to stack it deep and wide. Get a few surplus ammo cans and fill them up to the brim. It's will last years. Don't be caught short.

Which new SC Justice will help with our gun laws ??
From the article "Kavanaughs opinion strongly suggests that if he makes it to the Supreme Court, he will be an important bulwark against gun control advocates’ efforts to ban entire classes of commonly-owned and traditional American firearms merely based on liberals’ stated intentions to keep Americans safe. On that basis, the NRA endorsed Kavanaugh’s nomination on Monday, calling the judge an “outstanding choice” with “an impressive record that demonstrates his strong support for the Second Amendment.” The author is even admitting the best we can hope for is the status quo, that there will be no expansion of our rights at federal level. While had Trump nominated Hardiman there would a real possibility of expending them. This has been my and a few other folks point for not being so hot on Kavanaugh. Nobody is saying the guy is horrible. Just saying there's better. jus sayn

You can get 5K minimags for about 300.00 shipped. That lowers a bit your cost/round. https://www.targetsportsusa.com/cci-mini-mag-high-velocity-22-long-rifle-ammo-40-grain-copper-plated-round-nose-0030-p-892.aspx Golden bullets are dirty and have the occasional FTF but not to the frequency that causes an issue. Just rotate the cartridge so the pin strikes an different area and you are good to go. Minimags and gold feed equally as well on my 10-22 and P22. As Krdshrk says the bullet is lose in the casing but that never causes an issue either. I've shot thousands of each and only prefer the minimags because they are cleaner.

And what happens if Trump doesn't have an opportunity to replace a liberal? Wouldn't we had been better off if Trump had nominated someone that's solidly on our camp? And by our camp I mean the 2A camp. And I didn't even looked into his record on the 4th and 5th and already have a few concerns about him.
