	Penal Laws
		The second Act was even worse, and the Catholic historian Tierney justly says of it that it "exceeded in cruelty all that had hitherto been devised for the oppression of the devoted Catholics".
		The chief effect of this latter act was to cause the oath to be offered to all persons over eighteen, and to empower the committal to prison of any recusant married woman, unless her husband paid 10 pounds a month for her liberty.
		For some time these Acts and proclamations were not rigorously enforced; but after 1570, when Elizabeth was excommunicated by the pope, toleration ceased; and the hunting down of the Earl of Desmond, the desolation of Munster, the torturing of O'Hurley and others, showed how merciless the queen and her ministers could be.

	Disarming Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After Jacobite Rising of 1715 ended it was evident that the most effective supporters of the Jacobites were Scottish clans in the Scottish Highlands and the Disarming Act attempted to remove this threat.
		This act proved ineffectual and in 1725 An act for the more effectual disarming the highlands in that part of Great Britain called Scotland; and for the better securing the peace and quiet of that part of the kingdom was passed and more effectively enforced by Major-General George Wade.
		After that Jacobite Rising had been defeated the provisions of the Disarming Act were strengthened in the new Act of Proscription.

	Disarming a Deadly Virus - Text View
		Every enzyme, whether its function is to synthesize or cleave, acts on molecules of a specific substance, called the substrate, which may be any one of a wide range of substances in the body, including proteins and nucleic acids.
		Thus, any drug designed to act on the enzymes that break the peptide bond between phenylalanine and proline is very specific for the viral protein.

	State of the Union Address - James Polk (December 2, 1845)
		I recommend, as an act of justice to Spain, that this inequality be removed by Congress and that the discriminating duties which have been levied under the act of the 13th of July, 1832, on Spanish vessels coming to the United States from any other foreign country be refunded.
		By the tariff act of the 30th of August, 1842, this exemption from duty was restricted to coffee imported in American vessels from the place of its production, whilst coffee imported under all other circumstances was subjected to a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem.
		Under the eighth section of the tariff act of the 30th of August, 1842, a duty of 15 cents per gallon was imposed on port wine in casks, while on the red wines of several other countries, when imported in casks, a duty of only 6 cents per gallon was imposed.

	Nazi Firearms Law and the Disarming of the German Jews
		Disarming political opponents was a categorical imperative of the Nazi regime.
		Having disarmed and mopped up the "Communists," at times a euphemism for citizens who were not National Socialists, and having prohibited possession of "military" firearms to citizens who were not members of Nazi-approved organizations, the Nazis now turned their attention more toward the Jews.
		Although the disarming of the Jews as a prelude to and in the course of the Holocaust does not appear to be the subject of any historical study, numerous excellent studies have been published on armed Jewish resistance in the Nazi-occupied countries.

		Uniform Militia Act of 1792 "called for the enrollment of every free, able-bodied white male citizen between the ages of eighteen and forty-five" to be in the militia, and specified that every militia member was to "provide himself with a musket or firelock, a bayonet, and ammunition." [1 Stat.

		Disarming behavior is often conducted at non-official levels as well as between the primary leaders of the opposing sides.
		This discussion indicates that de-escalating acts are often linked together in a sequence, their effectiveness depending in part on the nature of the connections among several actions.
		The probability that disarming behaviors will take place, and the likelihood that they will actually contribute to reducing a conflict's intractability, depend on many factors.[11] Those factors pertain to the external setting, the developments within each side, and the changes in the adversaries' relationship.

		The proposed offence of disarming or attempting to disarm a police officer is the result of a process initiated by the Canadian Police Association.
		Proposed section 270.1(1) would make it an offence to take or attempt to take a weapon in the possession of a peace officer without his or her consent when the peace officer was engaged in the execution of his or her duty.
		The disarming of police officers of firearms and the interference by offenders with the equipment issued to peace officers is a matter of serious concern which is worthy of note by a separate and distinct recorded criminal offence.

		The government’s victory prompted the act of Proscription (August 1, 1746), restricting the ownership of arms.
		Although bagpipes are not specifically mentioned in the Act, the ruling that bagpipes were “instruments of war” arose during the earlier trial of Atholl Brigade piper James Reid, who was captured piping the soldiers in advance to Derby, December 4, 1745.
		Although the bagpipe was not specifically proscribed in the Disarming Act subsequent to the Highlanders brutal and unequivocal defeat at the Battle of Culloden ending the final Jacobite Uprising in Scotland, dispiriting its use was thought to have sent a message that the world had definitively changed for the Scottish clans.

	State of the Union Address - John Tyler (December 3, 1844)
		She has made necessary provision for their security and protection against the acts of the viciously disposed and lawless, and her emigrant reposes in safety under the panoply of her laws.
		The Executive, acting upon the fair inference that the Senate did not intend its absolute rejection, gave instructions to our minister at Berlin to reopen the negotiation so far as to obtain an extension of time for the exchange of ratifications.
		This has been the rule upon which they have acted, and thus it is believed that few cases, if any, exist wherein our fellow-citizens, who from time to time have been drawn to the seat of Government for the settlement of their transactions with the Government, have gone away dissatisfied.

	Keep and Bear Arms
		Thus criminals were merely acting as an agent of the firearm itself in violating their victim's sense of, and therefore their actual security.
		Surrendering the last outpost of individual defense is an act of homage by which lowly vassals declare fealty to the lord of "reasonableness," and eagerly take on the yoke of societal tyranny.
		Arguments to disarm often equate self-defense with vigilantism, by cleverly mixing the specific context of personal defensive force with the larger public context of retaliatory force, the exclusive domain of the police.

		The ban, imposed by an Act of Parliament of 1746, was called the Disarming Act or ‘An Act for the more effectual disarming of the Highlands in Scotland and for more effectual securing of peace of the said Highlands; and for restraining the Use of the Highland Dress’ (19 Geo.
		Under the Act, men and boys were forbidden to ‘wear or put on Highland clothes including; the kilt, plaid and no tartan or party-coloured Plaid or stuff was to be use for Great Coats or for Upper Coats’.
		The latter was seen by the Hanovarian government as civilised and generally supportive of the crown whereas the Highlands were regarded as a vestige of a wild, untamed, rebellious and Catholic past that needed to be subjugated.

	Act against the Highland Dress
		To effect these ends, Parliament, in 1746 and 1747, passed various Acts, by which it was ordained that the Highlanders should be disarmed, their peculiar dress laid aside, and the heritable jurisdictions and wardholding abolished.
		Not only was this disarming of the Highlanders effectual in preventing future rebellion, but also judged considerably to soften and render less dangerous their daily intercourse with each other.
		The Act at first appears to have been carried out with rigid strictness, these ingenious attempts at evading it being punished somewhat severely; but, if we may judge from a trial which took place in 1757, the administrators of the law had by that time come to regard such breaches with a lenient eye.
