law
Law is a system of rules that are enforced through social institutions to govern behavior. Laws can be made by a collective legislature or by a single legislator, resulting in statutes, by the executive through decrees and regulations, or by judges through binding precedent, normally in common law jurisdictions. Private individuals can create legally binding contracts, including arbitration agreements that may elect to accept alternative arbitration to the normal court process. The formation of laws themselves may be influenced by a constitution, written or tacit, and the rights encoded therein. The law shapes politics, economics, history and society in various ways and serves as a mediator of relations between people.
A general distinction can be made between (a) civil law jurisdictions (including Catholic canon law and socialist law), in which the legislature or other central body codifies and consolidates their laws, and (b) common law systems, where judge-made precedent is accepted as binding law. Historically, religious laws played a significant role even in settling of secular matters, which is still the case in some religious communities, particularly Jewish, and some countries, particularly Islamic. Islamic Sharia law is the world's most widely used religious law.
The adjudication of the law is generally divided into two main areas referred to as (i) Criminal law and (ii) Civil law. Criminal law deals with conduct that is considered harmful to social order and in which the guilty party may be imprisoned or fined. Civil law (not to be confused with civil law jurisdictions above) deals with the resolution of lawsuits (disputes) between individuals or organizations. These resolutions seek to provide a legal remedy (often monetary damages) to the winning litigant. Under civil law, the following specialties, among others, exist: Contract law regulates everything from buying a bus ticket to trading on derivatives markets. Property law regulates the transfer and title of personal property and real property. Trust law applies to assets held for investment and financial security. Tort law allows claims for compensation if a person's property is harmed. Constitutional law provides a framework for the creation of law, the protection of human rights and the election of political representatives. Administrative law governs what executive branch agencies may and may not do, procedures that they must follow to do it, and judicial review when a member of the public is harmed by an agency action. International law governs affairs between sovereign states in activities ranging from trade to military action. To implement and enforce the law and provide services to the public by public servants, a government's bureaucracy, military, and police are vital. While all these organs of the state are creatures created and bound by law, an independent legal profession and a vibrant civil society inform and support their progress.
Law provides a rich source of scholarly inquiry into legal history, philosophy, economic analysis and sociology. Law also raises important and complex issues concerning equality, fairness, and justice. There is an old saying that 'all are equal before the law', although Jonathan Swift argued that 'Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through.' In 1894, the author Anatole France said sarcastically, "In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets, and steal loaves of bread." Writing in 350 BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle declared, "The rule of law is better than the rule of any individual." Mikhail Bakunin said: "All law has for its object to confirm and exalt into a system the exploitation of the workers by a ruling class". Cicero said "more law, less justice". Marxist doctrine asserts that law will not be required once the state has withered away.
Hello, I have a friend of mine interested in buying my AK-47. Only problem is he lives in WA State, and I live in Oregon. Does anyone know a way I could LEGALLY sell him the gun? He is in the Army, although he is a resident of WA. Appreciate the help.
Not sure how pertinent this is to anybody, but it goes into effect tomorrow. I don’t know. I’m new to this, so maybe things hit differently to me. But seeing all these digs at 2A seems like it’s heading in an oppressive direction. Just my outside view of it. You give an inch and next year it’s...
Great condition. It has been painted once. Still functions perfectly.

Description says it all. Lightly used, perhaps <500 rounds. Ended up never really folding my gun. I have a much more robust tool that didn't origionally come with it. The origional instal tool was designed to bend when it was fully tight but this tool will not bend so you can really tighten it...

For any of you who don't know, although Measure 114 is in stasis, Senate Bill 348 was a "gut and stuff" which was a complete rewrite of measure 114 and is alive and well and in some cases WORSE in that is retroactively establishes the active date for the magazine ban to December 08th and...

Hi All,
I’m hoping to clarify my understanding of WA state law regarding private transfers of pistols. Specifically, my understanding is that if a “complete” firearm is being transferred, then WSP runs the background check and includes psychiatric history, as well as criminal history, and a...

I have read and seen that once you have registered your pistol as an sbr that it loses protection under the Second amendment, is this valid?
