Two years, AAV of 4-4.5m as a rotational DT. The culture is still being established. Need him there.

It has impacted me directly. I lost a close family friend in the Virginia Tech shooting a few years back. And no, it's not selfish. You don't get to decide selfish. Selfish, from my vantage, are those who seek to infringe on the natural rights of more than 350 million people living today, and countless billions of future Americans, because of their ideology.

Designed to attract jobs to the area. It's not an uncommon practice, and I don't see the problem with it. The problem only occurs when they attach an ideological litmus test to it. Though, it's Georgia, not Rhode Island so it's their problem, not mine.

It's not that Second Amendment supporters aren't looking inward, we are. It's just that even if mass shootings were 100% attributable to legal gun ownership, which they are not, they are a more than acceptable price to pay for freedom. Far more, in fact. Immeasurably so.

Why is giving tax breaks to companies a bad thing?

That's gang violence. You know, the guys currently engaging in smuggling and criminal enterprises.

The franchise is a far greater responsibility than gun ownership. Any opinion on rolling back the "right" to vote until, say, 30? Or perhaps placing qualifiers on the exercise of that right? Say, by having to prove your competency with a test, or perhaps by achieving some success litmus, like owning property?

But I don't think joe supports the systemic genocide of black people in America. Why would you donate to that atrocity in his name? Seems mean spirited.

It is executive overreach, and unConstitutional. I believe it is premeditated though, to steer the (conservative) Court into a ruling on the Constitutionality of executive orders making end runs around the Constitution.

On the other hand... his ideas would make it just as easy to get a gun as it is to get heroin...

Protecting freedom is more important and desirable than stopping mass shootings, which wouldn't be stopped by heavy gun restrictions anyway. Factoring for population, mass shootings are not a uniquely American problem.

The wonderful thing about guns and the Second Amendment is that if you try to make an end run around the Second Amendment and infringe on the right to bear arms, we get to do the opposite of get out of the way. We get to stand in front of you. With guns.

Freedom, and the appropriate relationship between government and citizen, always has a blood cost.

Just because it hasn't happened in 23 years in Canada doesn't mean it can't happen. It happened in both Australia and England. You also don't enjoy Second Amendment protections in Canada which prevent exactly that sort of thing. You're at the mercy of your government in regards to guns, where our government is at the mercy of it's citizens. That's a fundamental difference in the nature of the relationship.

The government should not have a database on where all the guns are, who has the guns, what types of guns they are, and how much ammunition is stored for each gun type. You're describing the beginnings of a dystopian nightmare in which the government rounds up all the guns because you're made it incredibly easy for them to do so. "Shall not be infringed" necessarily includes undertaking all the necessary steps prior to initiating an efficient and maximally effective gun ban.

To be completely fair, the words I used in this particular instance were woefully inadequate for describing a coherent thought in English. I needed new words in my mouth.

Turnabout is fair play.

Good grief, I mangled that. Mobile typing for much fail. Time to edit.

I'm not interested in having an argument over what is, I believe, an informed prediction, as the only evidence I have of this is entirely circumstantial. I find that it's usually fairly dopey to have an argument in favor of a position without hard evidence, unless you're doing it just for exercise. I'm content to wait around for this to either come true, or not. I believe it will as part of a much larger rollout of charges. In the process of investigating bad actors for attempting to fix a federal election and activate a coup, this has come to light. It's a charge that will ultimately rest on many folks who turned state's evidence as part of a plea agreement in exchange for rolling up the chain on much bigger fish, some of whom may well hang for treason.

Yes, and you're going to see prosecutions for organizing it.

Mental health is related to violent behavior.

Yes, yes... You're advocating gun control studied as related to labeling gun crime as a disease, and everyone else are the ones doing mental gymnastics. You couldn't get through the irony with a fleet of chainsaw bayonets.

None of them lived in a hollowed out volcano lair.

The fact that they survive the encounter shows incredible restraint by the soldier. Quick question: how is being disarmed by their government working out for the Palestinian people?

In order to convince people to disarm themselves, they start a riot and destroy property. Interesting choice.
