You always have stragglers that stay behind. Always. Even though they had ample time to prepare and leave. And none of those stragglers can swim!

This Morning's Top Headlines - October 8

From Canada, I don't understand why Floridians don't built homes that have permanent shutters for the windows -- as used to be the case in the old days in Europe. Many homes there had permanent shutters that were closed during bad weather.

Editorial comment. Start with where is the storm and it's current conditions. Maybe some coverage of what it is doing in Mexico. Forecast next. Then coverage of preparations and progress of Helene cleanup.

The legal analyst on "ghost guns" has the situation incorrect. These companies are selling receivers that aren't finished, meaning that holes still need to be drilled, pockets need to be milled out, etc. Legally speaking, that means they're just a hunk of plastic or metal and not yet a firearm. How do we know this? Because those hunks of metal and plastic have been reviewed and determined by the ATF in the past to not be finished frames and receivers. It's not a matter of it being a "jig saw puzzle of tiny parts." Triggers, barrels, springs, pins, etc., all of the tiny parts have never been regulated by the federal government so they are entirely irrelevant to the discussion. It's only the frame or receiver. The situation boils down to this, previously the ATF said these unfinished frames and receivers were not firearms and now they are saying they are firearms and as such, need to be serialized and a background check conducted before sale. The owners of the businesses producing these parts and kits are challenging that change of rule in court because the rule may (the court will decide) have stretched the definition of what a frame or receiver is to include unfinished ones. People then ask, where's the line? Is a block of aluminum an unfinished frame? Intent isn't a part of this law. When does it become a gun? How many features carved into that block makes it a gun? The current law doesn't answer these questions.

I know that much of the road infrastructure across some of the previously effected states are in disrepair, is it possible to get buses, trains or planes out of the area? Are any major transportation providers offering free or reduced cost passage out of the areas along the projected path of Milton?

The people going the other way need to turn tf around 😭

Collectables are only valued if there's a certificate and assigned number. Like on antiques there's a signature or marking that proves the date and maker. Same with gun collection. No numbered guns are wanted by some but devalue the collectives collection. Only a proper gun owner/shop can revalue these types of guns.

An armory could possibly reissue or replace unaccounted for parts but only with the proper paperwork to be issued.

3d codes for printing gun parts have to include a lot number or authenticating paperwork in order to be of valued in time of assessment of estate or insurance claimes.

Gun show participants must show these special receipts proving the buy is not buying a misused device that is possibly under investigation. Shop and range owners insurance is only reliable on their location.

At one point it was suggested the original boxes should be kept and guns should only be traded with safety locks. These guns, cases, and locks are to become one entity sold with papers, parts and boxes.

Bullets are a separate purchase.

Im in Bradenton Florida. People are freaking out here. I'm totally calm. Jesus Christ said : You can predict the weather but you can't predict the signs of the times. We are living in heavy times in this world before the soon return of Jesus.

It's nature. We need to adapt, not nature. It's not like it's going away. You are rolling the dice if close to the Florida coast. These people choose to live in dangerous areas. Some think Dems control the weather, or is it constant punishment from God? Let's pray but also please continue to pray to end gun violence and teach our kids what ethical and moral values are. Many of us boomers failed. I blame internet..trusted more than parents. Be smart, don't invest in danger zones. Rich can leave to other home. Majority suffers. I don't know how Floridians can live like this. Everthing seem chaotic there. Your Governor is ditching callls from the Prez. He's so childish. It all leads back to the boomers. We lived through 9%+ mortgages. If young plan safely and you will be ok. Beware of gorgeous ocean views, flood plains, wild fires areas. Think about the weather and insurance costs. I think majority of us do. America is great. If you don't think so leave. Bunch of adult whiners. If you don't approve of my comments then let Florida pay, not America. I'd rather see the money go into Social Security or pay for your 1 million new police force for schools. Let's pray
