Re: Common Sense Gun Control

The definition of common sense is as varied as the people in this country. Mine is different than yours, which is different than AZ's, which is different than Klam's. Starting with that premise is flawed and shows a lack of foresight or willing to compromise. There are 50 states in this Union, all ...

I like to put her and AOC in a room and see if the collective IQ total goes negative.
If? IF? It's a damn near certainty. :lol:
Yea, bad choice of words on my part. :ohno: The only question should be how far negative does it go. My guess is somewhere around liquid nitrogen levels.

Re: Uvalde School Shooting

The teacher who propped the door open (assuming it wasn’t one of the ones killed) has blood on his/her hands and should be run out of town… Agreed. Who opens a door during a lockdown? And that should apply that team of Barney Fifes that sat around for 90 minutes with their thumbs up their asses. I ...

Re: Biden’s Scorecard

At a certain point, and it's when you're on either side of 50%, it's stupid to put a positive spin on it. He has a 60% disapproval rate, lets not make it sound more positive than it is. And he's only marginally worse that Trump, probably within the margin of error? That's great company. :lol: What ...

Re: Common Sense Gun Control

What is common sense gun control? There is a limit to how far we can go in infringing upon a right to bear arms. So while bans/registries might get the liberal base all riled up, are they realistic? Securing the schools sounds great but can we do it without turning them into prisons? Where will the...

Re: Common Sense Gun Control

Look it up the data and objectively study it. Break it down by who, when , how, and why. Then get back to me. Statistically speaking, the assault weapon ban did nothing. There are plenty of comparisons between states that have different gun restrictions and those that do not. One can easily do a cr...

Re: Common Sense Gun Control

The ban did nothing to change the amount of mass school shootings or trends. :thumb: And if you want to compare to other countries go right ahead. But your assumptions better reflect the apples to coconut comparison it is when you compare any country with the USA. I’m not sure the ban did “nothing”...

A couple of random posts that should resonate with all… “@I don't even want to think that. However, it is unsettling how long the delay was in getting the shooter taken down.

Re: Common Sense Gun Control

We had a ten-year ban on assault style weapons. Compare, Contrast. Weep. Not to mention comparisons with other countries. The coincidence of those refusing any gun control with covid death comparisons (like SG mentioned earlier) with other countries is not surprising in the least. The ban did nothi...

Re: 2022 SCOTUS rulings

Have they been convicted yet? No but I’m guessing it will be attempted again. Probably so. But until they are, the 14th amendment (assuming the Federal Appeals Court is the last Court to rule on the matter) does not apply. So Mr. Snell, the prosecutor trying to drum business for himself, might want...

Re: Common Sense Gun Control

Banning black rifles or limiting capacity in magazines will not fix a mental health issue (some of you all really need to look at the FBI data following certain periods in which regulations were enacted or expired (CA, NY, etc.)). So it boils down to this, repeal/amend the 2nd Amendment or "fil...
