This has been long overdue and needs to get attention.Original reasons for carrying arms have changed since the old west and changes needed.What do you think the outcome will be?<br /><br />I hope it will uphold it. I do not disagree with you as far as the historical context, but that right is still in the constitution, and there is a due process in place to change it. If it is the country&#039;s desire to remove that as a protected right, they need to go through the steps to pass...

Or, maybe I should say, I don&#039;t see how they could sue *and win*. Seems like anyone can sue for anything these days.

Based on the law of action and reaction how might the thrusters work?<br /><br />They would probably fire rockets opposite of the astronauts movement. So if they moved their hand left, a thruster on the right would fire, pushing the astronaut left. This would be a very high-tech piece of gear, designed by smart engineers who probably did their own homework when they were in...

One was a French Colony, the other was Belgian before they gained their independence.
