  1. See this excerpt from a transcript of George Mason's address at the Virginia Ratifying Convention on June 14 in 1787. In this, he explains the reason the right is being given to individuals. George Mason is the father of the Second Amendment, and his opinion holds heavy weight in its meaning and intent. In short, your argument that the militia is no longer really in existence, so it's reasonable for government to control who owns what arms is exactly one of his primary concerns and reasons for championing the Second Amendment. "No man has greater regard for the military gentlemen than I have. I admire their intrepidity, perseverance, and valour. But when once a standing army is established, in any country, the people lose their liberty. When against a regular and disciplined army, yeomanry are the only defense — yeomanry, unskillful & unarmed, what chance is there for preserving freedom? Give me leave to recur to the page of history, to warn you of your present danger. Recollect the history of most nations of the world. What havoc, desolation, and destruction, have been perpetrated by standing armies? An instance within the memory of some of this house, — will shew us how our militia may be destroyed. Forty years ago, when the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British parliament was advised by an artful man, [Sir William Keith] who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people. That it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them. But that they should not do it openly; but to weaken them and let them sink gradually, by totally defusing and neglecting the militia. [Here MR. MASON quoted sundry passages to this effect.] This was a most iniquitous project. Why should we not provide against the danger of having our militia, our real and natural strength, destroyed?" When it comes to the NRA, some background on what happened in the 70's was omitted or simply not researched. The organization experienced a political coup, because for decades up to 1971, part of its members had been warning about the dangers of giving the government power over who owns what weapons. It was the Kenyon Ballew raid in 1971 that fueled the growing group of dissidents that finally took over the organization in 1977. If you're interested in knowing more, there are multiple articles and a Wikipedia entry for the Kenyon Ballew raid.

  2. I don't know the machine or much anything about it, but I would assume the error code is speaking of the left hopper being over 45º F for 1 hour due to the product in the left hopper being too viscous.

  3. Coca-Cola does still use coca leaves for flavoring. There are a only one or two companies in the US authorized to import coca leaves. They extract the cocaine alkaloid from the leaves. They sell the cocaine alkaloid for pharmaceuticals and the spent leaves to bars and Coca-Cola.
