[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The AR clingers are still stuck on the same snarky yet stupid arguments of 10 years ago, "there's no such thing as an assault rifle, it doesn't mean anything" and "AR doesn't mean assault rifle, it means Armalite derp" and now "oh it's only a .223 peashooter" as if ANY of that is in any way relevant.  It's NOT.  The only things that are relevant is that we have a whole lot of disaffected mostly white male wackos in a mass psychosis gravitating around AR-pattern rifles in some desperate bid to intimidate or "get revenge" on the world for their own dysfunction and they are taking it out on some of the most vulnerable people we have - kids, churchgoers and so on.  It's like a cult of sickness and the AR is one of its main icons.[/quote]

Can you also address the daily shootings in inner-cities which you ignore because it doesn't fit with your agenda?  What is your plan for disarming the drug dealers who are constantly shooting people over turf wars for narcotics sales?  Just ignore it and ramble on about AR-15's?[/quote]

DP, we should implement Australia's policy:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-can-australias-reaction-to-a-mass-shooting-teach-us-about-guns-and-gun-control/

- banned the sale and importation of all automatic and semi-automatic rifles and shotguns; forced people to present a legitimate reason, and wait 28 days, to buy a firearm; and – perhaps most significantly – called for a massive, mandatory gun-buyback. Australia's government confiscated and destroyed nearly 700,000 firearms, reducing the number of gun-owning households by half.

Well, if you can muster it,  two-thirds of both houses of Congress can vote to propose an amendment, or two-thirds of the state legislatures can ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments. To ratify amendments, three-fourths of the state legislatures must approve them, or ratifying conventions in three-fourths of the states must approve them.

Now get on with it![/quote]

I spent five minutes googling a policy that I know has been effective. If your point is that it may require a constitutional amendment and will never be implemented by the right, then you need to do some soul searching as to why the right refuses to implement reasonable policies other than "thoughts and prayers"...because muh "freedoms".[/quote]

It's time for you to get off of google and start UNDERSTANDING issues, not parroting idiocy because you read it.

If it's on the intertubes, why it must be true![/quote]

I don't need a lecture from some NRA ass kisser to understand that the majority of voters in this country want stricter gun control and weapons bans and intend to keep at it until they get it.[/quote]

Yeah, the voters want a lot.  Who cares?  That pesky Constitution. [/quote]

That pesky constitution protected my reproductive rights until it didn't.   It changes.  Oh well [/quote]

Lot harder to change 2nd amendment than one not explicitly mentioned [/quote]

The justices just need to be changed, not the constitution or the amendments.  We're not paying attention to how the right destroyed Roe?

It is an excellent playbook that does not rely on changing the document itself at all.  Change out the justices that interpret it and problem solved![/quote]

You don't believe in a nation of laws. You believe in a nation of men. In other words, you're dangerous.

You have no morals. It's whatever playbook it takes for each specific situation and then turn it 180 degrees when that doesn't work for you, because the ends justify the means.

By your mindset, all the right has to do is change out the players and you'll be OK with it. If that means by violence, I'm sure you'll still be OK with it. Won't you?

Lookup the Korematsu decision. It was great while it lasted according to you, huh?

The Dred Scott decision was proper, correct?

Plessy vs. Ferguson was awesome, huh?    Is that what you believe?

No need for thought. Just pack the court with your mob until you get your way.[/quote]

I pay attention.  The right showed us all how to use the system we have to pursue a political agenda.   Don't blame me.   They showed us all the way.[/quote]

What a weak answer. You can do better than that. Push yourself.[/quote]
