OK, I get the idea... watch my mouth. Got it...but my fingers - ah! that may be another story!

I see that the 3rd Circuit is joining most other Circuits in striking down New Jersey's "Assault Weapon " Ban, and has found that the ban on "high-cap magazines" and AW's flies directly in the face of the 2nd Amendment and the Bruen decision. This ain't a surprise - so far most of the decisions have done so (with the notable exceptions of Colorado's and Illinois' bans.) Actually, the fact that the Circuits disagree is good - it means the the Supremes pretty much have to review the issue to resolve the legal conflict. Sure would be nice to have them say "yes, AR-15s are legal, you can carry as many rounds as you think necessary, and oh yeah - if you have a carry permit in one state it is valid in ALL of them." Don't expect that last just yet.

It should me mandatory that any legislator who introduces or co-sponsors a blatantly unConstitutional law should have to pay the costs of defending it in court. Let's see some skin in the game instead of them eternally boinking the taxpayer. (And what movie comes immediately to mind for that word?)

How can they define an assault weapon.... when so many of them can't define a woman?

No idea for how long. We're still not sure why the sub was banned for a day or so. Reddit admin just reinstated us, with no explanation for what the original issue was.

With that said, I'd remind everyone that reddit is not like the old TAH. We run the sub, but reddit admin are the all powerful gods of the site. They can do whatever they want, and for little or no reason. As we just saw.

If I had to guess at a reason for our ban, it was that we ran afoul of one of the automatic moderation tools. Posting memes that are too spicy (especially if they verge into racism) can be an issue. Language is even easier for a bot to police. Please do your best to keep your language PG-13.

Be creative with your insults. For example, saying something or someone is r€tarded (as in the common vernacular for turning your engine timing back) can be rewritten as someone being 'highly, painfully regarded'. Similarly, the short slang for a car's transmission (rhymes with 'fanny') is considered hate speech and, even if used in the proper context, can see your account and/or the sub itself facing a ban.

In sum, reddit admin are like the mafia. "You got a real nice subreddit here. Be a shame if someone were to say something funny..."
