  1. Good point, I have heard both arguments.
  2. Hunting in California, and yes the founders never intended for bullets to be able to be matched to the gun from which they were fired. (that “founders never intended” argument cuts both ways)
  3. If it needs to be amended we have a process for that. Good luck
  4. When a soft tipped bullet hits something at close to 4000fps there is not much left to get rifling marks. Groundhogs killed: thousands Cops killed: zero
  5. OMB numbers (in billions) Obama 2009 $1,413 2010 $1,294 2011 $1,300 2012 $1,101 Trump 2017 $665 2018 $779 est 2019 $1,091 est 2020 $1,101 est
  6. What does that have to do with the 2nd amendment? I think if it were up to you we would have tough gun laws like Mexico. (google it)
  7. Not a cop killer, just a way to convert your deer rifle into a varmint rifle by switching ammunition, called “Acellerators” soft point, definitely not cop killers.
  8. No wonder you are having trouble understanding, you are missing a critical part. ”A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a FREE STATE” In other words, a state of freedom, NOT the federal government.
  9. When it comes to first term budget busting Obama is king the orange buffoon is in second place.
  10. Captain Planet (Jay Inslee) drops out, Crazy Bernie takes up the Green mantle with his $16 trillion pipe dream.
  11. Recording the past and predicting the future are two different things
  12. Tesla model 3 sales drop by a third in July and model S sales fail to reach 1k(pretty sad given its status of the most awesome car ever) and then there’s this
  13. Unemployment 3.6% Real wage growth for the first time in years, so yes, more proof of the success of trickle down.
  14. Yep, fifteen HUNDREDTHS of a degree in the past two decades, we are really blowing the doors off. Put your thinking caps on for just a minute and consider how devastating your environment would be if temperatures SKYROCKETED from 72F to a blistering 75.6F. (The two degrees C increase deemed to be dangerous by the IPCC). OMG! What organisms could possibly adapt to such a massive and rapid increase in temperature.
  15. Look at any paleo climate reconstruction and you will see that we are currently in a naturally occurring warm cycle.
  16. The PROVEN direct correlation is that global temperatures drive CO2, not the other way around. (As Al Gore’s chart showed us in An Inconvenient Truth) Natural cycles have given us ice ages, ice free poles and CO2 levels ten times higher than than they are today. Elevated CO2 has resulted in record food production, shrinking deserts, a greener planet and no change in floods, droughts, hurricanes and wildfires. Insane policies like the GND threaten our long term national economic viability, not CO2.
  17. I would be ok with them if they were part of a broader strategy to diversify our supply chain and protect our intellectual property. As implemented by the third grader in chief, no.
  18. No, I have been pretty consistent in my opposition to governmental market distortions.
  19. I’m getting whiplash from “save the planet” to “we are going to run out of fossil fuels in the next two centuries” SOMETHING replaced animal dung then SOMETHING, replaced wood, then SOMETHING replaced coal, then SOMETHING replaced oil. At every turn, the invisible hand of market guided the transition, without New World Order central planning. At some point in the distant future, fossil fuels will slowly become less abundant. At that time their prices will rise and other energy sources will become comparatively more economical, then they will they be replaced. No need for central planning or a government takeover of the economy.
  20. A sober assessment would take into consideration BENEFITS as well as costs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moral_Case_for_Fossil_Fuels
