In "Ensign Ro", Captain Picard tells a Bajoran refugee leader that the Federation expressed sympathies for the Bajorans, but was unable to intervene due to the Prime Directive.

If this was just some skirmish between a couple of non-aligned planets, that would make sense. But the Federation was at war with the Cardassians in the 2350s and 2360s. In the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries on Earth it was common for belligerent powers to supply terrorist and guerilla groups with weapons, advisors, and other support when those groups were fighting their enemies.

Most people are fine with the one person per cart rule. A few couples have complained about it, but there are no exceptions.

In the past week, I've caught two separate pairs trying to get around the rule by having one guy drive the cart and the other one hold onto the back. Each time I radioed it in and a golf pro showed up and told them if they did it again they'd be

So yeah I'm one of those guys that went out to buy ammo and another gun because I'm afraid of how people will react to the country being shut down for a few weeks and I want to protect myself

I bought a handgun and NICS took about half an hour. It came back with "Delay." The clerk said that they'd been getting Delays all day. I have two misdemeanor arrests so I'm guessing that's why I got the Delay. Normally I get flagged for "further review" and then get a "Proceed."
