I'll give you a good one:

I work with two particular fellas
Fella one born in America , busted for pot selling over ten years ago...been out 5 years ..can never own a firearm due to fed charges

Fella two born in El Salvador...deserted army .. punishable by death...by his own words took part in what sounds like a gang rape... other dubious behaviors in his home country...
he became us citizen a few years ago....recently passed background check as his ss number comes up clean...now has a conceal carry permit

Do you see something wrong with how a former american born felon may be treated versus a newcomer with a background that does not even get checked...???

If you're agin the thing, (1) apply "cui bono" to see who benefitted and still likes it, and (2) remember the treacherous 6 soft-horned RINOS that voted for it (otherwise it wouldn't have passed).

More than eight years after Congress approved a ban on the sale of semiautomatic assault weapons,

Why would I want to read the rest of this article when the first half of the first sentence shows that the author doesn't even know what he's talking about?

I didn't vote for Prop .223, can I defer to Australian Proposition .308/L1A1 instead?
