    A formal process is available, not mandated.

    You've run off into the ditch, again. Every consideration of age isn't discrimination.
    I use AI for my purposes. The gun numbers I used from Canada are correct for long-gun deaths and it was the long-gun registry Canada scrapped. If you want to get excited over the rest of the Canadian Broadcasting Networks article, go right ahead. If you don't like what Bing says, don't read it.

    Kwitchurbellyachin', fer crissake.

    Having to take a simple memory test is not "age discrimination."
    Meaning we can put folks through a process.
    You're giving gun rights a bad name.

    Do you also trivialize ones right to bodily autonomy?

    Being forced to test for your rights based solely on age is literally the definition of age discrimination.
    Tell the class what standard such a law has to pass.

    1) So NOW you want procedural due process?
    2) SUBSTANTIVE due process prevents the "well I made a procedure so I can **** with you now" justifications. There are things you have a right not to be ****ed with on, and methods you cannot use to **** with people. For purposes of this discussion: Age discrimination for example.
    3) You are calling for voting tests. I've seen what makes you cheer, so I don't care what makes you boo.

    Forcing anyone past a certain age to report for testing to maintain a right certainly is.

    You cited the wrong ****ing body of law dude. Because you refuse to use your own reason and instead farm the task out to a quarter baked AI.

    You're requiring anyone past a certain age to go through it after proudly stating you'd prefer to avoid any such process.
    Giving ground and putting the mask back on doesn't mean you didn't take it off a minute ago man. We all know what you want. We all know why you want it. Hard. Pass.

    Yes.
    Additionally: You're wanting a restriction on rights (background checks). You'll need to find an historic analog from the time of the founding for it. Spoiler alert: There aren't any.

    So your "benefit" is entirely illusory.

    You keep calling it a right to drive. And you keep comparing a right to a privilege. You certainly have proven the opposite, and I and other posters certainly do need to correct you. Constantly.

    I'm not grandstanding for anyone, and if you pay attention you'll see me light into Turtledude or Tog6 or any number of other posters "on my side" (from your perspective) for any number of reasons.
    Turtle and Tog, for example, are grabbers not quite as bad as you are.

    No, the stock market's procedures caused it.

    People that think computers can predict the future with certainty need to study harder in their software classes.

    "Build a better mousetrap and customers will beat their way to your door"
    New products will create new wealth. This was true for Henry Ford, the guys in their garage that ginned up Apple Computers... even the folks that got rich from Hula Hoops and the Rubik's Cube. As we spread across space like we spread across the Louisiana Purchase, the new things we'll see creating new wealth will be practically limitless.

    You don't seem to understand there's a balance that includes government having control over individual rights, sometimes in painful ways. There was a military draft in my youth. The government quarantine people.

    We don't want "everything". That's BS. We just don't want anyone telling us what we MUST drive, MUST eat, or DENY us our personal possessions.

    No, I think the stock market crash took some time to take total effect... that effect was HUGE... it spread all over the globe eventually...

    You live in a very simplistic world. Would you call yourself an academic?

    Non sequitur.

    The red line has identifiable causes. It's behind much of our political instability.

    The economy began to grow quickly in mid-1933. Real growth exceeded 10% per year through Roosevelt's first term.

    But the unemployment rate remained high until WW2.

    "Background checks" for what? A criminal record? I'm looking to have electronic gun permits. You can verify you're selling to someone legit if they have an active gun permit.

    Of course, I "admit" it. We incarcerate people who assault, rob and steal.
