Repeal

Read a random definition: inurit labem realem

A quick definition of Repeal:

Repeal means to cancel or get rid of a law. This can happen in two ways: either by passing a new law that specifically says the old law is no longer valid, or by passing a new law that contradicts the old law so much that it's clear the old law is no longer in effect. For example, if there was a law that said you couldn't eat ice cream on Tuesdays, but then a new law was passed that said you could eat ice cream any day of the week, the old law would be repealed.

A more thorough explanation:

Repeal means to cancel or get rid of an existing law. This can be done by passing a new law or changing the constitution. When a law is repealed, it is no longer in effect and cannot be enforced.

  • The Twenty-First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution repealed the Eighteenth Amendment, which had banned the production and sale of alcohol. This ended the era of Prohibition in the United States.
  • The National Highway Designation Act of 1995 explicitly repealed the National Maximum Speed Law of 1974, which had set a speed limit of 55 miles per hour on U.S. highways.
  • In State v. Davidson, the Idaho Supreme Court found that a later law on negligent homicide had repealed an earlier law on involuntary manslaughter by implication. This means that the two laws were so similar that the later law effectively cancelled out the earlier one.

These examples show how repeal can happen in different ways. Sometimes it is done explicitly, with a new law specifically stating that an old law is no longer in effect. Other times, it happens implicitly, when a new law conflicts with an old one and effectively cancels it out.

@EvolBunny: I am fine with them making their cut and all that but I bought it with an adjustable gas block, new LVPO and foregrip so I just have a bunch of parts and ammo with no way to shoot it

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: they blaimed it on their IT team for not updating it as out of stock when I paid but like buying something in stock in September then being told I won't get it until mid January is pretty wild. I do not hunt anymore but their mistake would of caused me to miss the entire season. If it wasn't so hard to get left handed ARs I would of gone elsewhere
oh that's kind of worth more than $140
that's at least $300
