Why was prohibition repealed?
i assume you're referring to the reapeal of the prohibition act in the 1930s. alcohol was originally prohibited to prevent drunkenness, crime, and even mental illness. but instead of doing that, it did just the opposite. people began to drink illegally more and more. people began to bootleggedly produce more alcohol under a huge illegal organization and everything the government thought they were preventing was increasing. in addition, trying to prohibit it was causing the government to spend more money as well, so all in all they decided to repeal it.
Is there a law prohibiting the sale of super glue to minors?
Penal Code section 380 prohibits selling or distributing any uncertified substance containing toluene to a minor. Not only is it a criminal offense, but a person doing so can also lose his business license. Super Glue contains toluene. This is to hinder huffing (glue sniffing) by minors. You might check at a hobby shop or hardware store for a substitute or lawful toluene containing glue (the State Deparrtment of Health Services can certify glues as having been made useless for abuse by smelling bad or causing sneezing). I don't think epoxy will help you, I believe it contains toluene as well.
If it is constitutionally legal for the ATF to restrict barrel lengths under the 2nd amendment, why can’t they restrict detachable magazine semiautomatic firearms?
Question: If it is constitutionally legal for the ATF to restrict barrel lengths under the 2nd amendment, why can’t they restrict detachable magazine semiautomatic firearms?The BATF, the agency which regulates firearms sales and manufacture doesn’t restrict barrel lengths. Manufacturers can make barrels any length that they wish to; however they can only sell them to approved wholesalers and Class III firearms dealers. Those dealers can only sell short barreled shotguns and rifles to certain individuals who are willing to undergo background checks and pay a transfer tax fee.You can buy short barreled rifles and shotguns. They aren’t that expensive when compared to select fire weapons or military weapons, which are restricted in their sale to civilians to pre-1986 models. They aren’t banned; they just cost an additional amount for their transfer tax. Since there isn’t a large market for such weapons (If they aren’t also select fire) they just are rarely seen as consumers have a wider array of better weapons available to them.Here’s a manufacturer of short barreled long guns:Daniel Defense
The neutrality act of the mid-1930s was designed to do what?
A series of acts passed in 1935, 1936, 1937, and 1939 to limit U.S. involvement in possible future wars and that was created in response to the belief that U.S. involvement in World War I resulted from loans and trade with the Allies. The 1935 act banned the shipment of war materials to belligerents and forbade U.S. citizens to travel on belligerent vessels. The 1936 act banned loans to belligerents. The 1937 act extended these provisions to civil wars and allowed the president to restrict non munitions sales to a “cash-and-carry” basis. The 1939 act banned U.S. ships from carrying goods or passengers to belligerent ports but allowed U.S. sales of munitions on a “cash-and carry” basis. The Lend-Lease Act of 1941 diminished the laws, and they were repealed on November 13, 1941.
List of American laws that need to be changed?
I think the current laws that need to be changed are: 1 Legalize underage picture sexting (if 2 17 year olds exchange nude pictures of themselves that should be their buisness, not the government's. Putting them in prison for taking nude pictures of themselves while they were underage is despicable) 2 Lower the age of consent by at least 1 year in every state (the age of consent in every state should be 15-16. Teens that age are horny, rebellious & gonna have sex anyways.) 3 Legalize consensual sexual relationships between teachers & students above the age of consent (a teacher does not deserve to spend life in prison for having sex with a student who was above the age of consent) 4 Decriminalize marijuana (because a man doesn't deserve to rot in prison with thieves & killers just for getting high) So what other laws in this country do you think should be changed?
Would the US have been better off if they had stuck with prohibition and kept alcohol illegal?
What makes you think stricter laws would keep people from drinking, or keep alcohol out of the country?First, there was a "religious" exemption for things like communal wine. Churches were making money selling communal wine to just about anyone (maybe in the hopes of saving some poor sinner?).Then, there was the bathtub gin stills, that used some pretty poisonous stuff. People were going ending up in the hospitals, going blind and dying, just because some home entrepreneur decided to cut his product with kerosene or wood alcohol. While many meth labs are found and destroyed now, there are still a lot of them not found, judging by the amount of the drug on the streets,.During Prohibition, gangs got pretty sophisticated, and bootlegging became very lucrative. If the U.S. has a hard time keeping the hard stuff out, cocaine or heroin, for example, how would it stop the flow of booze?The reason Prohibition failed is because it was unenforceable, much like most of the drug laws of today*. People were getting what they wanted, and usually much easier than most Prohibitionists wanted to admit at the time.Prohibition did, in fact, do a lot of good, specifically after it was repealed. The restrictions on the production, sale and use of alcohol are much more strict than prior to the Volstead Act. Businesses, allowed to make it and sell it, but under certain guidelines, don't operate in the shadows, and can follow the laws as they stand. Age restrictions are often ignored, but underage drinking is usually dealt with counseling and community service rather than jail. Private citizens are allowed to produce quantities for their own consumption, but since alcohol is freely available to businesses, the demand for the bathtub stuff is nil, so there's no need to make it poison.And, the government gets a cut of every sale.* I don't advocate the repeal of drug laws. I do, however, advocate the repeal of those provisions that criminalize the use or possession of small amounts. Jails are full of people who are otherwise law abiding citizens. 3 strikes laws made many of them lifers. Putting people into prison hardens them, and makes it harder for them to make a life for themselves when released. Counseling and supervision are cheaper, and work better.
