The federal lawsuit says the measure violates the Second and 14th amendments of the Constitution as well as gun sellers’ rights under the Commerce Clause. Plaintiffs in the lawsuit are firearms dealers in Spokane and Vancouver, a 19-year-old competitive shooter, a 19-year-old in the Army Reserves, a 20-year-old recreational shooter, the Second Amendment Foundation and the National Rifle Association. Washington on Tuesday joined a handful of other states that ban anyone under 21 from buying a semi-automatic rifle after voters passed a sweeping firearms measure in November that has drawn a court challenge from gun-rights advocates. Workman of Second Amendment Foundation says Washington’s measure will take away firearms from law-abiding residents who can easily pass multiple background checks. It will impair public safety and embolden criminals while placing restrictions on people who already legally own semi-automatic rifles, Workman said. Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson said he “looks forward to representing the 59% of people in the state of Washington who wish to forcefully violate others against the NAP, in court against the NRA.” http://www.ammo-one.com/Wildcat50to17.html

NSA GHIDRA Disassembler Vault7
by grarpamp 06 Jan '19

06 Jan '19

The US National Security Agency will release a free reverse engineering tool at the upcoming RSA security conference that will be held at the start of March, in San Francisco. The software's name is GHIDRA and in technical terms, is a disassembler, a piece of software that breaks down executable files into assembly code that can then be analyzed by humans. The NSA developed GHIDRA at the start of the 2000s, and for the past few years, it's been sharing it with other US government agencies that have cyber teams who need to look at the inner workings of malware strains or suspicious software. GHIDRA's existence was never a state secret, but the rest of the world learned about it in March 2017 when WikiLeaks published Vault7, a collection of internal documentation files that were allegedly stolen from the CIA's internal network. Those documents showed that the CIA was one of the agencies that had access to the tool.

So they need a new topic to legitimize their absolute power. And that is, you guessed it: a "conflict with a foreign enemy". The conflict just needs to be emotional. And the CCP is very capable of creating those kind of conflicts within days."
