Many fail to grasp the difference between "unlawful" & "illegal".
- One is against the law; the other is a sick bird.
Each of the 50 sovereign states collectively comprise the United States. I am a combat veteran, naturally born U.S. citizen, but do not live in Maryland. Though many are similar, the laws of each state are of that state, not the other states or the nation I am sworn to defend.
There exists a severe gap between "UL listed", safe, fire codes, and lawful (or not). They are not synonyms.
An even larger gap . . . nay, a chasm is maintained between these and the general misconception of them held by an uninformed public, the overwhelming majority of which is incapable of grasping the concept sufficiently to understand the question.
In the interest of everyone's enjoying a pleasant forum to exchange ideas and information, wise behaviour for us all is to refrain from pushing the political and intimidation statements of fear blatantly demonstrated throughout that introductory post advertising what is held to be manufacturer of a fine example of American know-how.
