The court found wrongly. Rittenhouse grabbed his AR-15, drove whatever distance, and interjected himself into a riot as a vigilante hoping to dispense vigilante justice. The saddest part of all of it is that there are so many people like you out there who find no wrong in why he was there at all. No one should believe it was right and no one should believe we are a better society when gun laws like we have make actions by kids like Rittenhouse probable.

The important thing to remember is that while the breeze you feel on your face may be assisted by butterflies far away, 10 year olds being forced to give birth to their rapists child happens in isolation from any vote made in distant red states.

This Secret Service debacle needs more attention, not just at the highest levels here on SC, but nationally. They're playing whack-a-mole with the Select Committee by delaying and at the last minute giving a massive information dump. Worse, the assigned Inspector General has stopped any forensic analysis of the agents and agencies phones. This, in my opinion, is another big Biden fail. He should be requesting resignations broadly: they violated the official records act. Heads should roll.

Seeing as how his drinking buddies are black college professors, his job buddies are soccer mom's, and his office is the pay per pup poodle wash studio, snickering about his knockers might be a little unfair. More importantly, you ought not to let it be known that there are groups of people like Brent wandering around unsupervised, unless you are opposed to immigration, that is.

No split, then we might get offed. We need to have a gun category. I’m guessing Glock thinking that purists will reserve AR-15’s for school shootings.

Back to insanity, here is a draft of North Carolina House Bill 158. It would grant personhood at the moment of fertilization, to wit : "It is a matter of indisputable scientific fact that a distinct and separate human life begins at the moment of fertilization." (for the scientifically illiterate here). And, even better for society, provides that: "Any person has the right to defend his or her own life or the life of another person, even by the use of deadly force if necessary, from willful destruction by another person." On passage each and every previously fertilized person shall have the absolute legal right to kill any other previously fertilized person found to be complicit, and just a good guess will be sufficient, in the act of de-fertilizing any suspected fertilization. For this quiz there will not be a bonus for guessing the political party of the authors. H158v1.pdf

Wait! That doesn't fit the narrative. Mods, please delete my post.

You got therr right.

Seriously, your wife can't take a joke?

You get a month off to reflect and you're right back to trolling. I nearly blocked you when you posted that Hawley, an insurrectionist and coward by public evidence if not legal conviction, was better than Harris. What you continually bump up against aside from a position of studied ignorance, homophobia, misogyny and insensitivity to the plight of your fellow human beings, is that your schtick never evolves. If it's the education of fools you are truly after then you need to keep them engaged. Instead, it's as if you aspire to be like Jack Palance in Ten Seconds to Hell.

I’m assuming you don’t read Richravizza.

Sorry. I confused you with someone else who previously implied it was no big deal. I'm not sure what you mean by choice being your preference but please know that it reads like the alternative is acceptable. We all make hard decisions in the voting booth. That said I’ll take the guess that mine are less likely to result in such an egregious and harmful law.

Are you mistaking the M1 Garand in 30.06 for the M1 Carbine in .30 caliber or am I confused? Also, so what if the semi-automatic is a common gun for White Tail hunting in the South, they're deer not Kodiak Bears. Tell your so armed friends they're idiots as I did to a friend who announced he was choosing his tack driving .243 Roberts for Elk for the accuracy. Here's the issue: you see an intractable problem, too many guns in circulation already, too many magazines, too many criminals, too many nice people who love well engineered firearms, too many feral pigs, too many liberals etc. etc. etc. I see a different problem: a defective amendment, a defective judiciary, too many weapons that look nothing like those contemplated by the writers of the second amendment much less Chinese Firesticks, too many years of listening to hopes and prayers along side calls for inaction lest we get any small item wrong in the fix. You see guns as something special to American society, wondrous things to be marveled at for their clever designs and revered by those in the know. I see bread crumbs down a fork in the trail that leads to a brand of societal barbarism where a 22 year old kid gets to be a hero by pulling out his Glock and firing 10 rounds in a crowded public place somehow managing to get one bullet in the murderer and none in any bystanders. To put it mildly we have a dichotomy of opinions. No matter, I don't doubt you're a great guy who packs for the gandma's and jumps with the youngun's. Here we'll just need to disagree.

As a house cleaner and school bus driver yourself, I'm surprised you'd list her qualifications in such a denigrating manner. No matter, you might add that lately her title is Congresswomen Ocasio-Cortez.

Why are you suddenly, if embarrassingly after the fact, so vigorous in your dislike of the law? Would it be the realization that it might be used as a template to end things that are actually important to you personally? That is the conservative modus operandi, after all.

Hispanics are moving away from Biden? Is that why they’re crossing the border, he’s in Mexico?

Non answer

Ok, who would you like to see as President and Vice President in 2024?

Thanks for the reply. I'll make a few random comments but I really think the common ground will remain elusive. For example, you asked if we should include the M-1 Garand. You know that really doesn't fit the idea and it doesn't use a detachable high capacity magazine. If you need to go back to WWII you'd have been better tossing out the Stg 44. Yes, you can tape magazines together but why do you need a 10 round magazine in the first place? And honestly, while I concede they should be allowed, why does anyone need a semi-automatic to hunt game? Because if you wound it you might piss it off? Maybe instead be a better shot or hunt less irritable and more edible game. My last day Elk hunting I watched a complete jackass unload his semi-automatic rifle into a huge buck that was at least 300 yards distant. Yes, he eventually killed the poor thing, too bad it wasn't deer season. The argument about the suffering of the innocent who just want to own ridiculous firearms will never resonate with me. Pretty much 99% of the people who do anything aren't the problem so, to my mind, it's a pointless point. And to close out, those manufacturers were acting just as legally as the opioid manufacturers and just giving the market what they wanted. That doesn't make it right or good for society.

Welcome back, traveler. Might I suggest, just for the sake of honesty, that you take Winsor's example and not use the IMHO acronym seeing as you don't got one. Sort of, it makes you come off as a looser. I'm sad for you that your capacity to see the world as it is so limited by your need to make cheap and silly points about Dems/Biden etc. Inflation is on a tear worldwide. Supply issues compounded by corporate greed are supercharging inflationary trends. It isn't only the stimulus every nation with money to spend injected into their economies during the initial covid debacle. There is also the inconvenient invasion of a sovereign nation by an oil exporting country that has created stress on the worldwide price of oil. That's not the end of the causes either. I am sure you'll shed no tears for "them" because you seem to care little for "them's" because getting to feel better about yourself for a fleeting moment is your payout. Enjoy.

Let's try again, "Your theory, unfortunately, ignores many other legitimate issues." Nice to blurt out, please name the many. "I don't know of anyone, that's not far left, that understands this issue, that thinks banning these guns is feasible or would be effective." Obviously, what you consider to be "understanding this issue" is believing nothing is feasible or effective. You just want that to be true. The 1994 ban had positive aspects. Let's bolster it with serious penalties, include all high capacity magazines, increased point of sale checks and high taxes on ammunition, add a buy back program paid for by taxes on the manufacturers and just take the whole thing seriously up to including raising the age of legal purchase to 21 (years beyond high school). And for the umpteenth time no one is pretending that criminals will follow the law. That said they don't seem keen on committing mass murder with AR-15's which is the school shooters weapon of choice. So, by and large, I do think your statement was baloney. Keep repeating and it will still be a bunk argument. People hunt and that's a legitimate activity and an American tradition. Honestly, I think semi-automatic rifles for game hunting are wholly unnecessary, certainly none need to have more rounds than 4-5 in the magazine. I always used a bolt action Ruger 77 in 7MM for Elk hunting and went 10 for 10 with never a second shot. Half my duck and pheasant hunting was with a Savage 12ga Single Shot, and later with a Wingmaster Pump just so I could change choke with a quick barrel change. I was never at a disadvantage against the semi-auto guys. So no, it does not need to include rifles and handguns used for hunting, even low capacity semi-auto loading guns. That's just you trying to make it sound worse and a step away from a complete ban. How many times must I state the same thing? Assault style weapons like AR-15's that are designed to look like military guns and can accept high capacity magazines. The new Sig Sauer MCX SPEAR is emblematic of the problem. It's the civilian version and it's entire purpose is to look badass military. Why do you suppose that is?

Bush league. Better: Darn Demographics Doomed Democrats Destiny, Dammit.

Whoop-de-doodle. One more inconsequential verdict to add to the pile.

I'd call it a fuck up. Now the 'splaination is some first class poetic license.

And a whole county in Pennsylvania, apparently.
