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

I'm going to ask you, Bram, what Nafod refuses to answer. There are 15,000,000 such rifles in private hands. How do you intend to get them out of circulation? The key is illegality and/or liability. Require insurance to own one, and you’ll see them filling landfills. Insurance doesn’t cover crimina...

The key is illegality and/or liability.

And a different mass shooting on July 4th in Virginia was averted. https://www.wavy.com/news/local-news/virginia-local-news/richmond-police-receive-tip-about-planned-fourth-of-july-mass-shooting-arrests-made-and-firearms-seized/ Everything was done correctly.

So…the father who signed the form so his son could buy the assault rifle.

Liability?

I think it's not vague, and written perfectly. It provides checks and balances on the govt and their control of the militia. Not vague? You can start a fist fight among constitutional lawyers over what the commas mean in the 2nd amendment. At the time of writing, all men 16 to 60 were expected to b...

Any discussion of the 2nd amendment needs to focus on the role of government. Is Government meant to be balanced by an Armed people That is not part of the 2nd amendment, as is made clear by the opening predicate, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State…” If you f...

The argument for repealing the Second Amendment I’d settle for not ignoring the “well regulated militia” preface that the right is predicated on. What specifically does that mean to you? The 2nd amendment was predicated on the need for a well regulated militia to defend the country and put down reb...

It’s the gun cult (ure). That’s the thing that wasn’t around before. The AR15s are just an inevitable end point in the cult train.

Happy 4th, dead people in Illinois killed by another young white male.

Brilliant men often have brilliant moms, yes? Some assume that no woman's voice is heard in it. No doubt more than a few of those Torah writers were momma’s boys (how you never write, Abel?) but there’s a big difference between actually driving and nagging from the back seat. Most modern science ha...

Spent years trying to figure out a Biblical basis for a ban on abortion. The Catholic Church went back and forth on this for centuries, permitting it before movement could be felt, or not, until one of the Pope Innocents put a stop to it. There's no clear biblical info on this apart from how. In th...

The job market screams find another position if this one doesn’t suit, due to the boss or other.

Sorry that your boss is being a jerk. Genes advice is good, the boss does have a hard job. Help him to help you?

No, I am suggesting cops don’t want to be shot with their own gun.

Nafod you’re mixing two different questions together: at what point should abortion be illegal and who should make the laws. The western norm seems to be illegal at 12-16 weeks and that the laws should be made by legislatures. What are your views? Please be specific because public opinions on the l...

Colt as well as Smith & Wesson dipped their toes into the smart gun market decades ago, but both faced damaging boycotts from gun rights activists. In Smith & Wesson’s case, the pushback – led by the NRA – was bad enough that it resulted in 125 layoffs. Obama pushed hard on smart gun develo...

Based on what I've read: * 75% of women seeking an abortion are low income * 50% of them are below the poverty line * 59% of them already have at least one kid * women carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term are 4x more likely to end up below the poverty line * legalized abortion is estimated to hav...

I guess they could have let nature take its course for months until the inevitable miscarriage or stillbirth. Instead they terminated them either through a procedure or by artificially inducing labor. Abortions. It was an extraordinarily tough set of conversations with the doctor for each. The idea...
