Makes ya wonder just how many of those “usual nasties by the thousands” are actually bots, kind of like twatter.
Important indication I just read::::
“Pay attention to the talking points claiming that gun violence is a “public health crisis” and an “epidemic”. This wording is particularly alarming when put in context with the WHO treaty”
Is this buck-toothed, slack-jawed grave dancing ghoul gonna hide under Milano’s armed security detail when confronted?
I hope so, and I hope it gets on video.
2nd Amendment:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.Article I Section 8:
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;Federalist #29:
Little more can reasonably be aimed at, with respect to the people at large, than to have them properly armed and equipped; and in order to see that this be not neglected, it will be necessary to assemble them once or twice in the course of a year.I think that there should be no laws abridging the right to keep and bear arms; that includes 18-year-olds. If they want to change the age to 21 (like with cigarettes and alcohol), then change the age of emancipation to 21 across the board. That means that nobody under 21 can sign contracts, can be called up for selective service, etc.
The federal government lowered the voting age to 18 because they wanted the youth vote, but 18-year-olds won't be allowed to exercise their 2nd amendment rights? If we allow 18-year-olds to exercise the constitutional right of citizens to vote, then 18-year-olds should receive ALL the rights afforded by the Constitution.
Here is my solution:
If instructors at the range have doubts about that teenager's mental state, they don't have to issue the certificate. That's a red flag right there. If the instructors don't have doubts and do issue the certificate, all it does is slow down the process and add a third party to the process to observe the character and state of mind of the person seeking to purchase the weapon.
To me, this is no different than flight instructors raising red flags about students who don't want to learn how to take off or land, but just fly in cruising mode. A gun proficiency instructor would similarly look for signs that someone seeking a gun is unstable and alert authorities.
I'm not saying that this is 100% perfect. I can foresee someone going "gun-range shopping" until they find an instructor who is willing to issue the certificate; at least that slows down the process and adds more people into the loop. But I do believe it is constitutional to insert this one step into the process of purchasing a firearm without it becoming a slippery slope to banning guns or building a national gun registry that could be used for door-to-door gun confiscation.

The problem is the govt — local to fed. Unionized 35 hrs/week, 6 weeks off annually.
My solution... federally funded, state managed elite police force. $150k starting salary. Educated with professional level IQs, excellent social skills. Automatic capital punishment for egregious abuses. No BS union protection. No pensions. Max 20 years on the job.
Yeah, me too. Not too often do we see someone kick their own arse.
Pure gold.
The protest will get more attention from the media than the actual speakers.
Beano the MORON!!
