Although I agree that gun licenses should not be issued arbitrarily and only under extraordinary circumstances, isn‘t reasonable to assume that the vast majority of individuals willing to surrender their ―weapons‖, that are (otherwise) gathering dust inside clothes closets, dresser drawers and kitchen cupboards, or stuffed inside a sock, for that matter, represent a small minority of law-abiding citizens who, in any event, would be unlikely to use them, unless pressed, unlike hardened criminal elements in the community who wouldn‘t give a second thought to surrendering the tools of their trade unless they were compelled to do so? A fifty-dollar gift certificate from Macys is insufficient compensation for the criminally-minded
2.
That many financially successful individuals should decide to pass along the fruits of their labors to their families and loved ones instead of having them arbitrarily redistributed to other individuals, should be a prerogative of acquired wealth; a privilege enjoyed by those who have properly earned it and should enjoy the right of disposing it as they think fit
3.
There is no question, however, that such perception(s) often provide irrational motives for individuals bent on committing some arbitrarily violent action for its own sake

The rules had been made up arbitrarily and without foundations (they actually themselves served as foundations for further rule s), and if people stepping out of line got caught in embarrassing situations, this wasn't a proof of the validity of the rules at all - it only happened because some shitters made sure it did
36.
So, returning to the former subject, I repeat: there are always complex dynamic Processes, which I arbitrarily define as individual rotation Shifts, in all Formo-systems where there is a creative manifestation of Time and Space Entities of the Primary, of the Secondary and of the Tertiary Energy-Plasma
37.
Even those who deal with synchronization of chronological time know that the outer World is being managed by arbitrarily established marks, because watches cannot measure Time at all

because he was the last King to arbitrarily announce the token holiday of Christmas in winter… because he was always hoping for a colder day with a bigger snowfall that would kill more poor people, and guarantee that he would not be embarrassed by accidentally meeting a poor starving person on that arbitrary day of the last-biggest snowfall of the winter
49.
There is a similarly arranged show called "the weakest link" where people are subject to public humiliation and arbitrarily dismissed from participation all in the name of pure greed… which is an even closer model of how civilization actually works
50.
By arbitrarily separating and pyramidally focusing on only one or some things-ideas-aspects, it is by this kind of selective focus that this blind desire becomes split up; this results in all kinds of fragmented connections, and from that; all kinds of fragmented identities, since people only identify with what they can connect-to
51.
Punishment happens so arbitrarily sometimes, it serves as the only response to an action which actually has no or very limited real consequence
52.
Nor must we be tempted to just arbitrarily separate out these words, but instead seek and identify those words and verses that are definitely gross contradictions, in turn discovering the central theme written within scripture and ultimately the purpose and meaning of the Creator’s message
53.
To arbitrarily interpret the meaning of these verses in a literal context is negligent and erroneous amounting to the reception of potentially dangerous, abject and destructive information for Self and others
54.
In the heathen mythologies the so-called good spirits were scarcely distinguishable morally from bad, except in this one particular, that they were reputed arbitrarily to confer physical benefits upon their adorers, while the evil demons are hostile and mischievous

Dividend policies are often so arbitrarily managed as to introduce an additional uncertainty in the analysis of a common stock
65.
Although these figures are arbitrarily taken, they correspond fairly well with the actualities of investment values under what seem now to be reasonably normal conditions in the stock market
66.
Does this mean that the fair value of an enterprise can be arbitrarily increased or decreased by changing around the relative proportions of senior securities and common stock?

Rather arbitrarily, and some time ago, it was decided that probabilities would be assigned a value between 0 and 1, that events that were certain to occur would be assigned probability 1, and that events that would “never” occur would be given probability zero
69.
Recall that mathematicians arbitrarily assign a probability of 1 to the result that something will happen—the coin will come up heads or tails, and 0 to the probability that nothing will occur
70.
In such a situation, it is more convenient to replace the sum of an arbitrarily small number of quite small probabilities with an integral
71.
But with Satoshi’s approach, certainty can be arbitrarily close to 100 percent
72.
Satoshi could have initially given himself 21 million bitcoins and then arbitrarily handed them out
73.
There is nothing special about these original 400 milibits, other than the fact that you decided to arbitrarily give these 400 a special extra value (entry into a concert)
74.
Laws of motion of any kind become comprehensible to man only when he examines arbitrarily selected elements of that motion; but at the same time, a large proportion of human error comes from the arbitrary division of continuous motion into discontinuous elements
75.
The absurd answer (that Achilles could never overtake the tortoise) resulted from this: that motion was arbitrarily divided into discontinuous elements, whereas the motion both of Achilles and of the tortoise was continuous
76.
The first method of history is to take an arbitrarily selected series of

This problem is only solvable if we cease arbitrarily to substitute for the unknown x itself the conditions under which that force becomes apparent-such as the commands of the general, the equipment employed, and so on- mistaking these for the real significance of the factor, and if we recognize this unknown quantity in its entirety as being the greater or lesser desire to fight and to face danger

We selected the simplex size arbitrarily and applied commonly used values for the coefficients
79.
Moreover, the number of stocks itself was determined arbitrarily
80.
The number can be arbitrarily large if you have sufficient data

So by deducting intangibles, shaving real estate by 10 percent, and arbitrarily scratching out the subs, the balance comes in at negative $28 million
83.
A naturalist, struck with a parallelism of this nature, by arbitrarily raising or sinking the value of the groups in several classes (and all our experience shows that their valuation is as yet arbitrary), could easily extend the parallelism over a wide range; and thus the septenary, quinary, quaternary and ternary classifications have probably arisen
84.
They admit variation as a vera causa in one case, they arbitrarily reject it in another, without assigning any distinction in the two cases
85.
In one instance, on a line arbitrarily chosen, the depth did not vary more than one foot in thirty rods; and generally, near the middle, I could calculate the variation for each one hundred feet in any direction beforehand within three or four inches
86.
Either the pupils are informed in the same way of what they already know, or they are quite arbitrarily informed of combinations of a certain character that are not based on anything
87.
Just as arbitrarily are the children taught combinations in arithmetic and the decomposition of numbers according to a certain method and order, which have their foundation only in the fancy of the teacher
88.
Thus, the chief distinctions between the administrative view of the masses and that of the County Council are the following: (1) the County Council pays great attention to the housing and spends large sums upon it, while the masses obviate this difficulty by domestic, economic means, and look upon the primary schools as temporary, passing institutions; (2) the ministerial department demands that instruction be carried on during the whole year, with the exception of July and August, and nowhere introduces evening classes, while the masses demand that instruction be carried on only in the winter and are fond of evening classes; (3) the ministerial department has a definite type of teachers, without which it does not recognize the school, and has a loathing for clerical persons and, in general, for local instructors; the masses recognize no norm and choose their teachers preferably from local inhabitants; (4) the ministerial department distributes the schools by accident, that is, it is guided only by the desire of forming a normal school, and has no care for that greater half of the population which under such a distribution is left outside the school education; the masses not only recognize no definite external form of the school, but in the greatest variety of ways get teachers with all kinds of means, arranging worse and cheaper schools with small means and good and expensive schools with greater means, and turn their attention to furnishing all localities with instruction in return for their money; (5) the ministerial department determines one measure of remuneration, which is sufficiently high, and arbitrarily increases the amount from the County Council; the masses demand the greatest possible economy and distribute the remuneration in such a way that those whose children are taught pay directly
89.
The figures for the teachers' wages are not chosen arbitrarily by me: on the other hand, the expensive teachers are given a larger salary than they now get by the month for the whole year
90.
There are three, and only three, such conceptions, not because we have arbitrarily united all kinds of life-conceptions into these three, but because the acts of men always have for their base one of these three life-conceptions, because we cannot understand life in any other way than by one of these three means
91.
What happens is this: the governor arrives at the place of action, makes a speech to the people, rebuking them for their disobedience, and either stations troops in the farms of the village, where the soldiers, quartering at times as much as a month at a time, ruin the peasants, or, satisfied with threatening them, graciously pardons the people and returns home, or, which happens more frequently than anything else, announces to them that the instigators ought to be punished, and arbitrarily, without trial, selects a certain number of men, who are declared to be the instigators and in his presence are subjected to tortures
92.
This problem is only solvable if we cease arbitrarily to substitute for the unknown x itself the conditions under which that force becomes apparent—such as the commands of the general, the equipment employed, and so on—mistaking these for the real significance of the factor, and if we recognize this unknown quantity in its entirety as being the greater or lesser desire to fight and to face danger
93.
These philosophies of life are three in number, and only three, not because we have arbitrarily brought the various theories of life together under these three heads, but because all men's actions are always based on one of these three views of life—because we cannot view life otherwise than in these three ways
