Varies by state. Georgia is one of several states without a clear rule. At any rate, it seems to be constrained by practicality. If they already opened the envelope to count it, it’s hard to undo it.

Sounds like NHTSA recommended the veto so we don’t end up with competing standards.

Good move, IMO. For a system as large as this, with severe safety implications, you really don’t want to start on the wrong foot.

Firearms play a critical role in suicide deaths, being used in over 50% of all suicides in 2022. The availability and lethality of firearms contribute significantly to the high suicide rates, particularly among men. Recent data shows that increases in firearm suicides are driving the overall rise in suicide deaths, with 2022 recording the highest number of gun-related suicides on record. This underscores the importance of addressing firearm access as part of suicide prevention strategies.

Reminder that most suicide attempts are in response to an acute crisis, like an argument with a loved one, and go from initial idea to action in less than 30 minutes.

Survivors report perceived lethality of firearms being a primary factor in their decision.

Access to lethal means can make all the difference between a bad day and a last day.

Daily reminder that copyright isn’t the only conceivable weapon we can wield against AI.

Anticompetitive business practices, labor law, privacy, likeness rights. There are plenty of angles to attack from.

Most importantly, we need strong unions. However we model AI regulation, we will still want some ability to grant training rights. But it can’t be a boilerplate part of an employment/contracting agreement. That’s the kind of thing unions are made to handle.

Maybe the COPS theme song, cuz I think it did a lot to popularize the show and that was some mega-potent copaganda that did long-term damage.

Maybe Horst-Wessel-Lied, for similar reasons.
