I think this thread is going to be locked soon. My last comment: I think that many here are blinded by their hatred for Trump and THEREFORE condone the action of Milley. Had Milley done his deed last week under Biden, I bet that we would have had a completely different discussion. Absolutely. Movin...

Jump to postNot surprisingly, Mike Lindell's Cyber Symposium was a complete and utter waste of time. For those unfamiliar, this was a 3 day event he held in South Dakota that he touted as a grand unveiling of all the hard proof that China hacked our elections and switched millions of votes from Trump to Biden. ...

The best way to deal with offensive free speech is more free speech. This was a good example and encourage it with many of our challanging uses of freedom of speech like WBC, anti-maskers, Trump supporters. The only caveat I would add is - I don't recall an incident of Westboro being violent. That ...
Jump to postI 100% think you should be prosecuted if your gun got stolen because you were not taking gun security seriously. And if that gun gets used in a crime, you bear some responsibility. Treading in dangerous waters? Really? Don't you think a innocent kid walking down the street in the south side of Chic...
Jump to postLE needs to go after straw purchasers and the very, very small number of crooked gun dealers. That's where most criminals' guns come from. I remember reading years ago about a "kitchen table" gun dealer in Tennessee whose sales were traced to hundreds of crimes. He got 18 months. That's r...
Jump to postSo here's the plan. Like I said before, if your gun gets stolen and used to commit a crime, you can be investigated for that crime too. How did that gun get stolen? Did you not have it secured properly? Was it not locked away? Maybe if you just left your gun laying around or left it on the passenge...
Jump to postAnyway, how are that many guns getting stolen? I thought the point of having a gun was that you could protect yourself from getting robbed. It seems that guns a pretty useless at that if all these guns on the street are stolen weapons. Homes, cars... I can't go into a post office with one, or certa...
Jump to postMake it a requirement to register that gun with the purchaser. Then you can hold that person at least partially responsible for any crime committed with that gun. That is not the way it works. Many legally obtained guns are stolen and end up the hands of people that shouldn't have them. Here's a no...
Jump to postVery few murders are done by carry permit holders. Do you think gangs go to the local police for a CCW permits? Right, the issue is the availability of guns, the easy of acquiring guns and the inability to track and trace guns in this country due to the lack of registration requirements and lack of...

Jump to postI actually love the car comparison since I think guns should be treated exactly like cars.

Another comment for the win here: 'Law abiding citizens don't commit murder'. Amazing logic. Once you commit murder, you are no longer a law abiding citizen are you. So no, obviously law abiding citizens don't commit murders.. right up until the time that they do, of course. Let's ban all car drive...

Jump to postThere is plenty of clarity in the cases that I mentioned. Every single one involved a false narrative that was proven to have been false.
