If a child can be born at roughly 21 weeks and still live, are they a person or a "fetus"? Those are good questions, but from a constitutional perspective, From a body of law perspective, I don’t think a fetus has rights. I do think that a woman does. I understand the idea of competing in...

By that logic the Ninth Amendment means one can be arrested or jailed. The courts have never held that people can't be detained or deported or imprisoned. No one, even Roe supporters, says that. So the argument that someone doesn’t have autonomy over their own body, to the extent that they can’t ma...

Are you arguing the fetus is a person?

Every state had laws restricting abortion when Roe was handed down. In 1972 the Court invented a new right without basis in either the Constitution, precedent, or common law. The bill of rights says “the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage...

Banning abortion is wildly unpopular (80% wanted to keep Roe v Wade in place) yet here we are. Similarly on some other topics. A normal political party that wanted to stay in power would normally, naturally evolve to represent the people In order to stay in power, or would get voted out. I get the s...

They hid it, not corrected it.

Off to drink beer. Cheers!

Guns are unsafe. Allowing torts would lead gun manufacturers to adopt precautionary marketing practices, safer designs, and more supervised sales regimes. Not put them out of business, just steer them to making and selling a product that does less damage to the citizenry. Gun violence costs us bill...

And for how many other products? Cars, lighters, knives, computers, all kinds of things can be used to do harm. It’s already in place for all of those products. Guns have a special law protecting participants from all kinds of liability that apply to no other device. The Protection of Lawful Commer...

If we removed the artificial block on liability, the market would take care of a lot of this. How? I get some people want the firearm manufacturers to fail. But no one has explained how bankrupting gun businesses will actually stop any mass shootings or active shootings today or within the next cou...

That guy in Oklahoma…so if you were in a public place near the entrance, and a guy walks in with multiple weapons including an AR15 with a magazine inserted, and you have that one chance to take him down before he turns on you, what would you do? If he’s a soon to be active shooter and you do nothin...

I can’t argue that we’re a violent country, you’ve got great statistics on that. I do feel that the country as a whole is basically standing outside that classroom door while those children are being killed, like those Uvalde cops did, I.e., we’re doing nothing. Just accepting it. Got to break some ...

This is a true statement…

‘‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens‘

Still pulling on the oars. I’d like to not give a but I have kids, so I guess I’ll keep fighting to bend the arc of history towards Justice. And drinking beer in my driveway. Which I am doing right now.

Yeah, good point, I am sure it wigs kids out to have to do them. I remember our duck and cover drills in elementary school, the rooms to go to for fallout shelters, etc. It looms. But the drills worked in Uvalde and in other shootings. While the one room was turned into a charnel house for children,...

This guy has a bunch of YouTube videos about doctors. Pretty dam good.

Follow the money.

Fear sells guns, which creates more fear, which sells more guns.

Who benefits financially from that spiral the most?

I was going to keep it all for myself, but a 10% fee would still leave me $25,000,000 in the black. So to speak.

Banning AR15's makes no sense. There are some 80,000+ elementary schools in the US with over 25,000,000 kids in them. Probably all of them practice active shooter drills, with kids hiding under desks, running to closets, practicing sneaking out the windows while someone invariably with an AR15 hunt...

Here's another idea. I was going to say it's more politically viable but considering the influence of the big media companies it's probably less likely: Ban coverage of mass murders and acts of terrorism. Allow a crawl at the bottom of the screen with the basics and that's all. It's not a First Ame...

I have to admire trump’s ease in separating $250,000,000 from his supporters pockets in selling his Official Election Defense Fund that didn’t exist. I keep discussing with my wife on how we can monetize their gullibility, but it’s just not in me to do it.

Well of course advertisers were selling them by selling an attitude, you ever see the calendars for tools? Buy this wrench and maybe Miss November will not turn away when she sees you, you greasy handed slob. None of those old ads were quite going full seal team six cosplay, or the old days variant ...

Guns have been part of our culture for generations. The primary instrument of gun violence in the US are handguns. The gun culture thing, the basing of your identity of Who You Are on if you are “pro 2nd amendment” is a more recent thing. This idea of gun owning and patriotism being tightly coupled...

On national TV too.

Liz Cheney is a rock star.

With the Internet, he not be talked about in mass media (he isn’t) and yet be a rock star in the subculture on some corner of the internet. Literally celebrated.
