When boxes are outlawed, only outlaws will have boxes.

Since they either are, largely anti-semitic themselves, or are, largely, self-hating jews they don't see a problem with this, Farrakhan also has the benefit of his association to the civil rights movement so like Elijah Cummings, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson Sr., etc., they have a fairly high level of immunity from scandal being viewed as fellow travellers at best, house negroes at worst.

The Left is and has always been the real home of political racism in the US.

Spin Zone / Re: Trump meeting Kim mano-a-mano
« on: March 09, 2018, 11:00:51 AM »
I don't watch mad-cow but somehow I saw a blurb a few months ago with her ranting about Trump having his finger on the 'nuke button', and how Trump was gloating how is button was bigger than anyone else. She was all put-out that we might vanish in a cloud of radioactive dust because Trump was going to get us into a hot nuke exchange. Now - Trump agrees to sit down and de-escalate, and try to come to terms with a reduced nuclear threat to the US by negotiating, and she's spewing negativity again.

Trump can't win with the MSM. They are on a hate crusade WRT Trump and nothing will sway that. He could fund a cure for cancer and the left would complain about the cost and how long it took to get here. What a fem hygiene product, and the container it was wrapped in. Glad I don't have to listen to that cnut.

Spin Zone / Re: Dreamers want action, firing Dems
« on: March 08, 2018, 03:51:49 PM »
Trump will win with the dreamers and the Republicans will benefit from it. 

The Dem's are foolishly wasting this issue and are pissing off the dreamers - Trump is the only one talking to and about the dreamers, and oddly is the only one making actual proposals to help them. 

The R's will yield to Trump's push and something will pass with little/no Dem support, Trump and the R's win, Dem's lose.

Trump keeps doing these rope-a-dopes and people seem not to be realizing what is going on, he is removing or emasculating every major Dem platform point by offering them what they want, sometimes more, in exchange for what seems like, to conservatives, way too much - the Dem's balk, Trump wins.

It is damn entertaining to watch.

I reject the premise that 'a majority of voters want something done'. 

We no longer have a reasonable and reliable method for determining what 'a majority of fill-in-the-blank' actually want, given what we have learned about push polling and outright lies masquerading as polls.

We do have a small, vocal minority pushing for something, but they are always there - the only thing that changes is how much focus they get from the complicit fellow-travellers in the political Left and the media (but I repeat myself) following a tragedy (never let a crisis go to waste).

The reason we have not seen substantial changes in the gun laws in the US in terms of major restrictions is not because of the NRA but because 1 in 3 Americans owns at least one weapon and enjoys having them, and a number of us are very much single-issue voters when we feel there is a real threat - see jumps in NRA membership and gun sales at the mere mention of restrictions by Obama and the latest push from the Tide-Pod eating chirrens with skulls full of mush.

Nothing leaves a mark on the herd of teflon lemmings who cling to crap spewed by Kimmel and his ilk.  They don't change the way they vote, think, or act.  Their incoherence is unseen by them, the supreme manifestation of zero self awareness.

Good article, I agree with it wholeheartedly, but it's not going scratch the surface of anyone who really needs to read it and think about it.  Because they won't.  And the media will protect them from ever seeing it.

There are currently 22,000 Federal, State and Local gun control laws.  Let that sink in.  The Founders left us with 'shall not be infringed', and we now have 22,000.

One more, ten more, a thousand more will make no difference TO PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO BREAK THE LAW.

100% confiscation of all firearms is the only way to reduce these types of crimes with respect to the guns themselves.  And I am talking 100%, door-to-door, every vehicle, every locker, every building in the entire nation.  Good luck with that, this is, IMO, one of the few things that would actually result in a de facto all out civil war.  And even if that were attempted and completed without an armed revolution, it would still not remove all illegal weapons from the hands of criminals.

The guns are not picking themselves up, loading themselves, aiming themselves, and pulling their own trigger.

So people who DO want to disarm the population because they believe, apparently as you now do, that we 'just can't be trusted with guns'.

Bullshit.

There are over 300 million firearms in the US, and about 100 million gun owners.  If legal guns and legal gun owners were a problem, you would know it.

The utter disingenuousness and intellectual dishonesty of the gun control argument is pathetic, insulting and borderline pathological.  They change commonly accepted definitions and mathematical norms at whim so long as it appears to bolster their argument (26 yr olds shot by the police while committing a crime counted as child gun victims, etc.).  Here is a hint, there have not been 18 school shootings this year (if you mean like what happened in FL the other day).  We can all agree that 3 is 3 too many, but it is not 18.

Our society has risks associated with the level of freedom we still enjoy - and there is a just and constitutional requirement to balance individual privacy with public safety - removing guns from law abiding citizens and creating more consequence-less free target practice, err, I mean gun free zones is not the answer.

The most practical response is to add armed guards at soft targets, for qualified persons to concealed carry (and this is up to the individual, the State has no legal oversight of this in my mind), and for DOJ and other law enforcement agencies to actually enforce the laws that are already on the books (Democrat administrations are famous/infamous for refusing to enforce laws if it helps create an impression they want in the public eye).

This young man should probably have not been allowed to purchase a weapon based solely on the previous interaction with local LEO's, add in the FBI warning (I wonder what they were so busy doing they couldn't spare a minute to look into reports of a possibly homicidal troubled young person......must be the Russians....) and it is almost inconceivable he was not on a list of some kind that should have prevented passing a background check.

As tragic as it is, the number of deaths at that school at the hands of this murderer is actually what Chicago calls an average weekend - how tough are the gun laws in Chicago?  Or D.C.?  Or L.A.?  Or Baltimore?  Or Houston?  or NYC?

If a few of these animals were popped by a teacher or local LEO or armed guard, AND the lamestream media would cover it as such (good person with gun stops bad person with gun), there would be fewer of these events.

My firm commitment to the concept that "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." is waning and the 2nd A needs to be modified.  In a macro sense, people just can't be trusted with guns.

Ok, hear me out, then lambast me.

I owned a small business for about 20 years.  It started out with my wife and I and one employee and we eventually grew to about 20 employees.  AT first, we had very few rules and we liked it that way.  But as soon as we added our second employee, we found we had to infringe lightly on the rights of each employee just a little.  We couldn't let one employee abuse our tolerance or pretty soon (for instance) they were both taking two hour lunches and coming in late.  So we had to set rules.

As we hired more employees we found we needed more rules.  We had to limit internet surfing and facebooking and checking email while on the job.  Only a few were doing this, but it was hurting the morale of the good employees.  Taking home promotional ball point pens was just fine with us, until we realized how many thousands of pens were walking off so we had to make rules against taking company property.  As we added employees, the rules kept stacking up.  That was part of the reason I was so happy to sell the place and retire.

The 2nd amendment was great for the first couple of hundred years, but now, too many people abuse the privilege and we need to find some way to stop that.

Before you start leaping out of your chair, let me say I am in no way advocating banning all guns, but I think we need to redefine exactly what the 2nd amendment means and why it exists.  Hunting?  Yeah, sure; get a gun that is appropriate.  I don't need to keep a 50 caliber machine gun aimed at my front door.

And I don't think we can easily defend the notion of violently holding off our government or that staging a revolution is defensible.  That is what the ballot box and the Supreme Court are for (as imperfect as they have been lately).

It pains me to be leaning in this new direction, but things are spinning out of control, even if more people are killed by their own swimming pool than by guns (I just made that up and don't know if it is true or not). 

I don't know exactly what the answer is, but there has to be a dialogue, and we have to set rules that will probably inconvenience some people.

Ok.  Fire away (not literally of course).
I think it’s simple minded that “modifying” the 2A will do anything but embolden the criminals, make lives more at risk, and yes, embolden an already intrusive and dangerous FedGov. You and most others laugh at the prospect of an armed citizenry defending itself against a tyrannical government, but what makes you think we are immune from getting such a tyrant when dozens of other countries in the last 100 years have had to deal with such a threat?  Look at what Obama and his minions I have done to weaponize the DOJ, FBI, IRS and other agencies for strictly political purposes. Lives have been ruined because of it. What makes you say lives can’t be lost if the tyranny scale gets turned up slightly.

If people can’t be trusted with guns, are YOU going to go door to door in the Humboldt Park, Wentworth Gardens, or Damen and Blue Island neighborhoods of Chicago demanding they the residents turn over their guns to FedGov?  No?  Why not you?  Oh, you don’t want to show up as a corpse in an alley, with rats eating your flesh. Understood. Neither do I.

But you think that if people are told they are prohibited from having a 50 cal, or a .308, or a 5.56 from those scary black  “weapons of war” AR-15s,  they will just turn them in, right?  Good luck with that.

I believe that the only reason we haven’t fallen as a nation, as has the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the British Empire, and the USSR is because we have as our foundation the enshrined natural right of self defense, including that from a tyrannical government or domestic enemy. (We are killing ourselves in other ways like our debt, indifferent electorate, etc., but that’s a different discussion for a different day).  Laugh if you want, but more of us believe this than you would think.

I do believe the nation needs a new education about the Second Amendment and it’s role in protecting the rest of the Bill of Rights. We are failing our fellow citizens in that regard.

Thanks for the logical and calming words.  And thanks for not ripping in to me.

But I'm still not convinced one way or the other.  Believe it or not, I am willing to listen to both sides, but we do have a problem.  Perhaps Archie Bunker was right when he said the way to stop airliner hijackings (very popular in the '60s) was to "arm all the passengers.  I don't know if that is a good idea on an airliner, but maybe arming the teachers (or at least allowing trained volunteer teachers to be armed) would get the killers out of the schools (and into the churches, or other gun free zones).

Mass shootings are a problem.  What is a solution that works? "Just enforce all the current rules" is not working and won't work.

 "Gun Free Zones" are an invitation for mass shootings. Why?  The shooter knows no one will shoot back.

 Also, if you want to see how well gun control works, just go to the heavy liberal bastions of the US that have very strict gun control (Chicago, Detroit, LA, NY, etc) and see how well it's working there.

 Back to the mouth foaming progressives and their MSM.  Notice when a shooter is taken out by a gun carrying citizen those stories get buried?

Nothing is "spinning out of control" except for mouth foaming progressives and their MSM.

When looking at statistics on gun related crimes the US is really not as bad as the progressives and MSM make it out to be.  And in countries with very strict gun ownership laws the criminals are still using guns.

 The latest school killing boils down to this:  Multiple reports were made to the police and the FBI about this individual, yet they failed to respond adequately.  Also involved in this latest crime was the perpetrator was on various prescription drugs for a mental condition which made him unstable.

 This kid, if he didn't have access to guns, could have just as easily rented a truck and driven over people as they were leaving the building, or he could have made a pressure cooker bomb (or something similar) and inflicted damage and death.

 The problem is not the guns.

Instead of 'passing' DACA legislation, it would be far better if the country would start enforcing existing immigration law and forcing D.C. to fix the immigration system to reflect reality instead of the blind blather of liberals.
