Trump did something that Bush and Obama wouldn't, directly attack the second amendment with an Executive Order, to ban items the ATF had clarified the legality of many times.

He fled Russia and purposefully selected to land in a country where he knew he'd be immediately arrested on landing.

Spy games are afoot. Speculation is he gave the encryption keys for Telegram to NATO because he'd have been thrown out of a window in Russia.

The thing in the automotive world with a high margin they can sell to suckers is software upgrades, like Tesla's launch mode.

That small LCD screen costs $80? Sell it for $800.

No. You can't just use any LCD nor OLED display, it has to be automotive grade. That means more expensive.

Tesla tried to use laptop screens as a design shortcut. They all had to be replaced.

It's not A/B. They're more expensive and more profitable.

Shame, they used to build good space ships.

but if you managed to pirate it, it's legally yours to own now as an American. Park a 32 pound carronade in your living room if you could come up with enough rope and draft animals to move it.

or royal connections. Very large cannon were monopolized by the royal governments, so absent friends at a court, if you wanted one you'd have to get a Letter of Marque, and successfully commit piracy against increasingly larger ships... until you run into a Royal Navy 6th rate and they run you down, capture and hang you all.

Everything is fair game?

When the 2A was written, everything was fair game for The People the privately own. Cannon armed warships, towed cannons with grape shot that shredded people by the dozen, semi-automatic flintlock rifles, multi-barrel nock guns, having a bucket full of loaded pistols, triangular bayonets (which are currently against the geneva convention. The only barrier to entry was money.

More militia nonsense. People privately owned cannons. The only barrier to owning the maximum amount of firepower available, including warships, was personal wealth.

If they were not specific, don't hold your breath.

How is it that "Pig Huntin" has not been commercialized?
Seems like $100 a day fee in a pig infested range might be attractive to a certain sector of the population.
The pigs could then be immediately taken to a processing point, butchered then fast frozen and delivered to the hunter for his freezer, or, delivered to a food distribution center to be made available to food pantries.
When ya get free wild pigs running amok, make Baby back Ribs, and Bacon.
Where are the Capitalists?

Wut?

It is commercialized.
You've slightly underpriced it but not by much, it attracts hunters.
There's already processing centers that do both of those things.
Wild pigs don't have bacon nor particularly good rib sections. Assuming it's not worm infested, there's a couple backstraps worth salvaging and that's about it.

You can't kill them fast enough to make a dent. You have to trap them in numbers, then execute them 1 by 1 with a pistol while they're caught in the trap, or herd them into a gas chamber and "inert them with nitrogen".
