Delisting sound moderators would be a real step. I hope it happens.

Have all of you forgot, ignored or are just uninformed the president has a 50 year reputation of LIES? How can a LIAR ever be trusted? And he is a bigger "flip flopper" than John Kerry!!! Those are facts!!!

So if you are caught drinking and driving and go to jail to serve your punishment..... when you get out, should you never again be allowed to drink or to drive or both?

Driving on public roads is privilege. Owning and possessing a gun is ''A RIGHT''
Privileges are earned. ''RIGHTS'' are given, as in the ''Bill of Rights''.
''To Keep and BEAR ARMS'' is a RIGHT! No man can ''LAGALLY'' take my RIGHTS

I would be more worried about the Fudd type of firearms owners than those of us who own papered automatic weapons.

Colt, Winchester, & S&W lobbied for the prohibition on importation of surplus firearms & small concealable handguns, aka Saturday Night Specials, to protect their business from competition. These companies were not in the ammunition or accessory business, they were in the handgun & rifle manufacturing business. These companies have been run into the ground from mismanagement in the past 50 years, even with this prohibition in the GCA, the ends don't always justify the means.

I got it close, but close isn't what counts.

Exactly! Now, what's your point?

This is my point Bob. Rights and privileges are NOT the same. Driving is a privilege. lt's NOT a RIGHT

Ok, but I still don't understand why you quoted me with your first response...

That has nothing to do with why I made the comment you quoted.

Almost amusing, a shooting/reloading WS that has a membership that would be at odds over an executive order affirming the 2nd Amendment. I guess the 4 years America had a president (Biden for the dems here)whose mental comprehension was stage 4 dementia at best, has all of us just as confused. Possibly as confused as Biden's Supreme court appointment that couldn't define what is a woman. Is that who you want your constitutional rights interpreted by? Even most actual dems saw what a disaster it is having the country run by UNELECTED Obama faithful followers(Biden cabinet).

I’m 77 and at least in my lifetime this country has never been this politically and socially divided. I’m beginning to doubt that it is reparable.

It isn't just your country. This snowflake/woke virus has infested just about every democracy on this planet. It may just be democracy's "achilles heel".

I swear I think everybody that voted for Kamala Harris must be a regular on Reddit! I’m 77 and at least in my lifetime this country has never been this politically and socially divided. I’m beginning to doubt that it is reparable. Maybe an alien invasion from outer space?

I think we have been divided for a long time, We just didn't know how bad until the internet, social media and cell phones came along.

That shows you that their motives were always punitive in the first place. They just hate the people.

They really just hate the people that are armed .... the rest can be controlled.

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the rest...

I’m glad I’m not tied to any social media except for here.

Democracy is the worst form of government, it's anarchy 50%+1. The United States is a representative republic governed by a Constitution with laws. The only thing is, they have convinced the public to be complacent.
Everything we are seeing now with this "resistance" movement in these "blue" states is the epitome of an insurrection. It is treasonous. I hope they put these people in jail and let them think about this for a few years. They are by any account our enemies.

He sure isn’t George Washington. I don’t worship him. He’s human. I like most of his policies. I like his approach to dealing with enemies globally and democrats. What are we supposed to do, trot out another romney or mccain?

What exactly are your gripes? Solutions?

 

[bobinpa]

huh?

huh, what? Maybe you could expand on that so I have a clue as to what you are insinuating.

Notes:

It was Jefferson who said "democracy is the second worst form of Government. But, all the rest are tied for first...".

The drinking and driving thing posted above: get a DUI in Europe and see what happens.

The initial post by Trump is very far reaching in its' capacity to restore the Constitution to "as written and legally amended...". The Constitution, as written and legally amended does allow for the removal of judges, as all levels, where their actions violate it.

Opinion: the People do have ultimate power in this country. It is called the Ballot Box, (and recall petitions). Politicians only think they are above reproach (and the law) because we have not removed them.

If our ancestors had obeyed the "laws of the land" 250 years ago, we would still be British subjects.

Savor Trump's directive, and dream about how far it could reach.

I can't debate with someone who dosen't see the difference between a stupid drug inducted act with no intent to cause harm, versus the psychopathic act of robbing someone in their home using a firearm with threat of death. The penalty for the latter crime should be death and not eventual probation with 2a rights restored.
