Lame. According to DC vs Heller, preventing the mentally ill and felons from having guns is NOT a violation of the 2nd Amendment. Much as you may dislike it, the SCOTUS (and NOT YOU) decide these things. Lame. SCOTUS decided that the 14th amendment means they can't deny your your rights without due process and equal protection. Also, your emotional response and perjorative label doesn't mean you can violate constitutional rights.

He seems to have acquired the properties of an interesting sub-set that only support individual rights when they feel like it. Do you think state law enforcement should be trolling medical records looking for a reason to unilaterally restrict individual rights? As to medical profession reporting potential danger to self or others I don't have a problem, but why does NY SAFE need to expand it, and why doesn't it go through a judge? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

You support removing guns and gun rights from this undefined class of people you call nutters. If we accept your premise, WHY STOP THERE? ps - you have supported gun confiscation when you don't like the guns, classify people with perjoritive class names, putting up red tape barriers to ownership, and any other time you feel like it. Just because you haven't gone full-Feinstein* doesn't mean you don't support the practice. * (the 51 votes quote) "Mr and Mrs America turn them all in" witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

You're smarter than to think he is "cutting everything". He is intentionally cutting things to make it visible and painful, rather than rational. Tours to the White House are out unless toucan pay your way in, but concerts and vacations are in. Not ok. Carriers, squadron training, and drones are at risk, but he still won't make cuts recommended by the military. DHS is consistently underfunding ICE but buying MRAPs and expanding both their bureaucracy and area of influence.

Why should two entities give way on account of the intransigence of a third? (A) That's how checks and balances work. Deal with it. (B) POTUS/ White House came up with the sequester (C) Cuts to spending are necessary, I think even you agree on that.

So we can't afford to put carriers to sea, we can't afford to to keep combat squadrons flying, we can't afford to run tours of the White House, but we can afford $700,000 for gardening and landscaping at one house in Brussels, we can afford memphis soul concerts and vacations for first family, and more. Does anyone think that the cuts are because POTUS has no choice, and not just for show to make the biggest splash or cause the most discomfort to lowly plebes. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Are you trying to imply that "more than half" come from manufacturers and dealers? Because that would be bullshit. NRA took in over $200 million just last year.

Way to drag this way off topic. I'm still waiting to hear how buying a lot of more expensive rounds is saving money over buying a lot of less expensive rounds that meet your needs. If this was nothing new with these orders, why can't DHS produce numbers on how they use the ammo to justify the purchase size? Do you think police will always be there for you? Do you think they will always respond? Do you think they have any responsibility or liability to you? Am I succumbing to fearmongering if I keep medical supplies at home? A fire extinguisher? Maybe you should give the government complete control over your life and finances; don't give in to the fearmongering that they can't be trusted or will abuse their power. PS - NRA has in the area of four million members, last I heard. Have you considered that they're "shills" for their membership, not corporations?

Here is a congressman discussing it; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHsGEy-vfLk Oh kay . . . but you do realize that's not evidence of anything other than a guy talking about it. Right? It's not evidence of the government hoarding massive quantities of ammo beyond their normal use or a conspiracy to deprive citizens of ammo or any of the other half dozen tin-foil hat reasons people cite. Right. Everyone is up in arms over shit DHS does everyday, and DHS can't or won't explain it. Congress is asking questions with simple answers and no one has thought to provide said simple answer. Does that make sense to you? Have you come up with an explanation for how buying more expensive ammo is more cost effective than cheaper ammo that meets your needs? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

There is nothing misspelled or random about the hyphenation in the rhyme. Consider an alternative meaning. It's not, MY job to explain the wild speculation of the tin-foil hat crowd. It's their job to provide proof of their extraordinary claims. Ok, you covered his final paragraph. So would you care to address any of his (or my) on topic points? You know, like explaining the part about how they picked the most expensive ammo in order to save money. Is picking the unnecessarily expensive alternate the choice to save money? If you say it is, you're going to have to support your statement. Right now all you've done is avoid answering or answer so narrowly that you haven't made a point. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Try to follow. JHP is jacketed hollow point. That is duty ammo. It is expensive because I materials and construction. It also tends to be loaded with better powder and primers inside of better cases. All that is why duty ammo costs as much as five times training ammo (Could be more, but most agencies won't use the cheapest of ammo for training). So, if you can get 50% off ammo that costs fives times as much, is it a good deal? (esp if you could get the same discount on the cheaper stuff) Also, why put in the order for so many more rounds than you'll ever need if you're not trying to jack up prices by initiating a scare? I don't know why, but I know it's not to save money. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

So if they order gold plated diamond encrusted ID badges for every federal employee, but they order in bulk so the IDs cost thousands instead of $10,000 per person, would you say they are saving money an cutting waste? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Why do a lot of people buy in larger bulk quantities rather than placing many smaller orders? Yes, buying bulk crates and pallets is cheaper per round than buying boxes of fifty. However there is a point of diminishing returns. The numbers requested by DHS are patently ridiculous. They don't use that many rounds. They certainly don't use JHP and duty quality ammo for training. That would preclude using cost as a basis for order size. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Nobody has a good answer (unless you put tin foil in your wardrobe rather than your pantry). DHS just started answering questions (originally posed weeks ago) as to why they put out the orders they did, and the answers just don't add up. Their ass-covering answers don't match the reality of training or their own history. They're lying, or at least actively hiding their true intentions; that much is without a doubt. What those true intentions are, I have no idea. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Being louder doesn't make you right, Tom. Provoking a response is not the same as contributing. Serving in the military is not a prerequisite to commenting on it, or those in it. Some service members are worthless pieces of shit. Some are the highest pinnacle of human greatness. The vast majority tend towards the center of the bell curve. Silence is golden. Duct tape is silver. Funny, that. I prefer civilizations that have advanced past the Bronze Age. Some people deserve an ass kicking with brass knuckles.
