  Should the 2nd amendment be updated to reflect the unforseen change in technology?

  The ATF does actually decide if the gun matters. If you want to split hairs a modern auto-loader is much more advanced than what our forefathers would have been familiar with. But there are many regulations concerning the specifications of firearms that can be built, purchased, carried or used. An example is the .50 that you see in all the movies. It does not shoot .50 ammunition (it uses .50 AE) because the actual bore would be larger than .50 in order for the bullet to travel through .50 rifling, making it an illegal handgun (over .50). Magnum Research imported true .50’s originally and they were turned back for modification to comply with federal law. In more recent times there have been advancements in sintered ammunition, where the bullet is made of compressed powder. Some of the rounds will explode once they hit their target making the normal hydrostatic shock of a bullet look like a scratch compared to the damage they do. Some contractors in the middle east actually got in serious trouble for using sintered rounds (they are not considered mil-spec) in combat but because they were not military they just got a slap on the wrist. This type of ammunition is regulated heavily. Should the 2nd amendment be updated? Why would it be updated if the potential problem of future weaponry is already policed and regulated?

  Could a Supreme Court Judge preside in the nude if he so wished?

  Not sure about the naked thing. I think he is referring to judicial immunity. In that you can’t sue a judge. But if judges acts outside of their judicial capacity then they are no longer protected by immunity. Usually when they have done something “outside of judicial capacity” it’s for letting corrupt officials go free or something else that’s obviously abuse of power.

  Is it possible to install a PC inside your car?

  Instead of a laptop, if you want to keep it in your car all the time look at these. They have 12volt models (like you’d find in patrol cars and fleet vehicles) and you can configure how they are built. As far as LCD screens go you can get the really small DVD/VideoGame Console screens for vehicles. You could run a flash based drive instead of a HDD and never worry about scratching when you hit potholes. They also carry some “rugged” HDs that are tougher than most if you need the write speed.

  The only problem is it doesn’t work in the dark.
