Milley gets a pardon from Biden today, 20 Jan.

Disgusting.

[skybert]

Pathetic.

These blanket pardons should turn the stomach of every citizen.  Absolutely disgusting.

Yup.  It's also funny (not funny) that he is doing this because he fear the weaponization of the judicial system.  Wow...

[GKinnear]

I posted in the "The Next President Is..." thread, but if Milley accepts the pardon, the admission of guilt is included in it.

He shouldn't accept the pardon if he's not guilty of anything...if he or any of the pardoned do, you legally can say "Confessed criminal Gen (ret) Mark Milley" every time you refer to him.

Again, I'm not a lawyer nor stayed at a holiday inn last night...

The orange man is cleaning house.  I hope it stops at this level, I don't want him to engage DOJ/IRS like the last two DNC administrations.

Hopefully he’ll burn the IRS to the ground, along with our ludicrous tax code.

And NFA. I really hope those two bills make it to law…would be so amazing. And what’s really wrong nowadays is how I use the word amazing to describe actions that would simply undo unconstitutional shit. That’s how far we’ve fallen as a country - just getting back to normal/following the constitution is now seen as a feat of strength.

"For example, a 2017 report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) indicated that out of approximately 1.3 million registered suppressors in the United States, only 44 were connected to criminal investigations, and even fewer were linked to violent crimes."

It's pure insanity.  $972,000,000 collected over the years.  Good revenue stream for govt i guess not factoring in the overhead to run the program.  I didn't know that the tax stamp has ALWAYS been $200 since NFA enactment in 37.  Thats a hefty bit of coin in 1937.

I'd settle for getting SBRs and suppressors removed from the NFA. Full auto is better served when Uncle Sugar is buying the ammo anyway IMHO.

That’s still not enough, but I do agree those are the two worst parts of the NFA.

The original tax was designed to double the cost of a Thompson. There's all sorts of fun dumb history about that law, like how it originally banned rifles longer than 18 in, But that would be bad for the firearms industry that was already producing shorter .22 rifles. So they made an exception for .22. 

Fast forward and the government started selling their surplus M1s, without realizing those rifles violated the law. So the law conveniently changed. 

Government has always been stupid. That has always been the necessary compromise.
