If you search for “home still” on Amazon, you will see a bunch of products that are explicitly advertised as tools for producing liquor.
But while it is legal to make beer, cider, or wine at home for your own consumption or to share with friends, unlicensed production of distilled spirits remains a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.
If only we lived in a truely free society but we don't

I support the government having the authority to ban importation of any products especially those made in China or made with slave or child labor. If the product is made here at home they should have the right to be made to remain silent. Only if the product is inherently dangerous such as a gun that ruptures when modern ammunition is fired in it, or vehicles with brake systems inadequate to stop the vehicle in an emergency situation, should they have the power to act.
ReplyDeleteSome rights belong to the people, the individual, not a collective, and lawmakers who tread on those rights should be shown that they are the third rail of politics and they carry 480 volts.
I don't. The reason I don't is if you are doing something that does not harm the public then the govt. should fuck off. If the GOVT. has outsourced our labour and intellectual property and THEN says it's bad...then the Govt.......well. fuck the govt.
DeleteALWAYS follow the money!
ReplyDeleteThat policy, the government argued, is justified by the need to safeguard federal revenue by preventing evasion of liquor taxes
Now, let's think about what fraction of the general public would produce thier own alcohol.
The greedy bastards can't bear to lose one penny of "revenue"
It’s all about the taxes!!!
ReplyDeleteproduction of distilled spirits "without asking .gov permission & cutting them in for a %," remains a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both."..

I posted the link to the article on FB and Fuckerberg's bots *immediately* removed it and issued me a warning because it "could be" spam. I haven't spent time in FB jail in a couple of years. Looks like they're ramping up for the election.
