    Not to think for us. They gave us a blueprint of what would legally pass. We don't do that. If the NFA is legal; why not put all weapons under a revised NFA? And, how's that worked so far? I have none. Zero. I have nothing that even resembles a military style weapon. Sporting rifles and shotguns.

    Deal.

    No argument, Brother. It's a knee-jerk reaction to the core problem of not having responsible gun laws. There were gun laws when we were growing up. It's changed a lot since 2008. There are ways to pass those laws and even SCOTUS laid out the blueprint, but no one is acting on it.

    Yeah. Jakee of course I am. See, this is why I block you at times - not contributing solutions, looking for bits and pieces of what people post just to keep it going in an ongoing circular loop. Setting up for the spike. Just add to the conversation, man.

    You're mistaken - that is EXACTLY their job and if they can't do it, then don't put on the pretty blue uniform.

    TSA. 3 million people per day. Campus Police - Only those who are not students. Not hard.

    I meant to say, "not" responding. You want to have a conversation, let's do that, but leave the jabs elsewhere. To your point, we had this discussion after the pussies at Uvalde didn't respond in time. They could have saved many and I don't care what they said . . . they fucking stood there and listened while children died. We all saw the video. They should have been dead before those children. We have enough money to help Ukraine, we have enough money to protect our future.

    I'm responding to the snarky thing

    You coming to hurt children. You die.

    We agree, Bill.

    I wouldn't have imagined the need. P.S. Active Shooter Drills suck. An active shooter shouldn't even make it on the school grounds before getting dumped.

    Truth. A Republican PAC aimed at a more moderate platform - not unlike VoteVets.org is Democratic and more moderate. I applaud the direction back towards the center from both sides of the aisle. Or, I'm just tired of hearing that screeching sound to cause more division from the extreme sides.

    So, you're a bullshit artist?

    Truth. I use the Google news feed so I can see & sort thru the silliness of extremism. After a bit of "programmatic" selection - it becomes manageable.

    Truth. I don't know how much of an effect that would be - Whenever he pops up on my feed, this going thru my head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jTHNBKjMBU

    After you get past the CNN slant - it has been an on-going "Stop the Bleed" program. Within the article cited, "Anderson said. 'This course should not be affiliated with gun violence. This is about helping people that are bleeding in any scenario.' " I sometimes think they do this so when called on it - they can say, "Well, we put that quote in there." Knowing damn well it was buried so deep most won't read it. Before you jump on me - there's two things to acknowledge. 1) I once climbed up Sky's ass about the US as a Banana Republic. When the now leading cause of death in children over car accidents is a fucking gun. We have a problem that everyone talks about, but NEITHER side is actually doing a damn thing about it - it becomes a political cycle talking point. 2) You know my position on the Gun Responsibility Act. Now, if you'll excuse me, Bill thinks I need to go stop a clown from reading to kids.

    Interesting. It will be a race. I don't "think" Trump will win, but I've been wrong before.

    You may be shocked by how few from both sides know this. It's a growing list. https://rvat.org/#testimonials

    AGAIN not citing his source, cherry-picking, nor telling the whole story. Coal 2023 sees global demand for coal rising by 1.4% in 2023, surpassing 8.5 billion tonnes for the first time. The global increase masks stark differences among regions. Consumption is on course to decline sharply in most advanced economies in 2023, including record drops in the European Union and United States of around 20% each. Demand in emerging and developing economies, meanwhile, remains very strong, increasing by 8% in India and by 5% in China in 2023 due to rising demand for electricity and weak hydropower output. . . . Meanwhile, China, India and Indonesia – the three largest coal producers globally – are expected to break output records in 2023, pushing global production to a new high in 2023. These three countries now account for more than 70% of the world’s coal production. https://www.iea.org/news/global-coal-demand-expected-to-decline-in-coming-years

    The target of the pamphlet was a bill before the Virginia Assembly supported by Gov. Patrick Henry that would have laid a general tax to pay Christian teachers a modest salary. The bill would not have established any one denomination (all Christian churches were eligible for the funds), but it would have made Christianity the established religion of the state. Madison considered the bill a “dangerous abuse of power”; he reasoned that if government could establish Christianity over other religions, then it would also have the power to elevate one Christian group over another. Madison believed that religion was a matter of individual conscience and that giving legislators control over religious belief would inevitably lead to violation of other basic rights: “It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties.” Madison succeeded in defeating the religious assessment bill and then spearheaded passage, in 1786, of Thomas Jefferson’s Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom.

    >Seriously. What is simulated auto. The ATF interpreted a "single function of the trigger" to mean a "single movement of the trigger", and since the trigger moved for each shot, the Akins Accelerator was deemed to not be a machinegun.[16] Later, in 2006, the ATF reversed course and reinterpreted the language to mean "single pull of the trigger", which reclassified the Akins Accelerator as a machinegun. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the new interpretation in February 2009.[17] Wiki Bump Stock >We really need a three year discussion on function vs. pull? According to the "letter of the Law," or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, Welcome to the Gun Responsibility Act. Let's ask Congress to re-write the NFA to include that process and criteria for all weapons.

    Cherry picking does. Tell the whole story. Tell them about the Tariff Wars. Tell them about the European Automobile Manufacturers Association on Thursday . . . market share of fully electric cars fell from 13.8pc to 12.5pc in May. A whole 1.3 pc!!! Tell them about - Belgium and France were the only key markets to increase EV sales in May, growing 44.8pc and 5.4pc respectively. You're not making mistakes. You are intentionally being misleading and untruthful. You're back on block. Don't reply.
