It would be impossible to round up all the guns in the US and prevent more from being illegally made and imported.

Have we stopped illegal importation of heroine, fentinal or cocain? It's also stupid easy to make guns. You'd create an overnight black market of barns, trailers and storage units converted into gun shops.


Excellent points.


Banning things has neve worked. It simply creates a violent black market. Not to mention the amount of police force, money (ie your taxes) on what would be an utter failure. The war on guns would fail just like the war on drugs has.



Now i am not saying we do nothing.


More intense background checks. I am fine with gun registrations like we do car. Nationwide carry with a gun license. Firearms are registered to you like cars are. When a sell between individuals are made, you transfer registration.


When it comes to mental illness perhaps we could implement a system where doctors flag individuals that have mental illness. That flag shows up in a gun database and before a person can purchase a firearm they have to be cleared by a doctor.


I am not saying any of these will/wont work, just spitballing. I think if both sides can be serious about guns we can get some thing actually accomplished



So can kids smoke weed if it's okay with their parents?

Woooooow. This is shocking to hear people say you should need to serve to own a firearm. That is not what the 2nd amendment says nor should it.



The right of the people. And SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

You are not going to law abiding disarm US citizens. The facts about gun deaths verse ownership do not support such extreme measurements.

I do not care about any document written in 1700s, that doesn't represent its population or has not been ratified! There is a segment of our population who lacks empathy and will not understand until a mass shootings directly affects them. A good guy with a gun idea, died in Parkland. In El Paso there were good guys in the parking lot, who fled the scene and did not help! If you want an assault weapon, serve this country! Do something: volunteer, mentor, start a non profit, Habitat for Humanity, or just listen to people who are suffering from these tragedies. I know someone will post that shootings involving assault weapons only make up a certain percentage of shootings, but the FBI stated this will become the new normal if we don't react and pass legislation!

If you don’t care, then go move to Canadia or Europe. Seems like a simple solution for you.

And Whoa whoa whoa...selective hearing. The OVERWHELMING amount of gun related murders are in low income cities across America, Milwaukee, Chicago, etc etc. These “mass shootings” are a small small fraction of gun deaths.

And yes there is a SMALL segment of people who lack empathy and commit a mass shooting. It just pails in comparison to the gun deaths every day around the country.

Now the mass shooting people, those are obvious mental health issues. You can not sure there and tell me someone capable of mowing down a bunch of people in public is a mentally stable person. They aren’t. Period. PERIOD. There’s so much defection when mental health is brought up versus new gun laws. It’s sad.

The shootings that happen every day are a social economic issue that needs to be addressed. The only problem is virtually EVERY SINGLE CITY that has a murder problem is they are ran and have been ran by Democrats for the last 50-100 years plus. And while gun deaths are going down, in these cities it’s still commonplace. Every single day I wake up and listen to the news report on multiple shootings and murders. Milwaukee has been ran by Democrats for 100+ years. Shit ain’t getting better.

There’s also a lack of empathy and regard for human life in these cities though. For instance in Milwaukee we also have an EXTREMELY serious problem of reckless driving causing death. Like really really fucking bad. Right along the story of the shootings every day is a story or multiple stories of people driving so crazy and fast (passing in curb lanes, excessive speeding, running red lights) that they crash and kill themselves or someone else. Literally every single day. This just started over the last 10 or so years.

No regard or empathy. It’s a social problem. Not a gun problem.

Sorry bro, to busy fighting for Freedom and Democracycy! Plus when those documents we're written I was considered 3/5 a person! Have you served? Don't tell anybody to go to any country! I know mass shooting do not make up the bulk of shootings in the USA. If the trend continued it could! That's what the FBI released! Crime is higher in urban areas due to systemic racism and a thing called red lining forcing minorities to live in one area without jobs or infrastructure. Don't call someone out if u don't know the facts, that's why I linked FBI crime statistics and NIBS.:duh:

Everybody is crying mental health is the issue, I say bullshit! There are thousands of men and women who serve this country who suffer from PTSD and they are not committing mass shootings. Some of these individuals are committing suicide! Don't use mental illness to justify or rationalize the actions of demons. Hate groups are responsible for the majority of the mass shooting that sparked this debate.

Question is, do you?

Fact Sheet: Guns Save Lives

A. Guns save more lives than they take; prevent more injuries than they inflict

* Guns used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year — or about 6,850 times a day. [1] This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives. [2]

* Of the 2.5 million times citizens use their guns to defend themselves every year, the overwhelming majority merely brandish their gun or fire a warning shot to scare off their attackers. Less than 8% of the time, a citizen will kill or wound his/her attacker.[3]

* As many as 200,000 women use a gun every year to defend themselves against sexual abuse.[4]

* Even anti-gun Clinton researchers concede that guns are used 1.5 million times annually for self-defense. According to the Clinton Justice Department, there are as many as 1.5 million cases of self-defense every year. The National Institute of Justice published this figure in 1997 as part of “Guns in America” — a study which was authored by noted anti-gun criminologists Philip Cook and Jens Ludwig.[5]

* Armed citizens kill more crooks than do the police. Citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as police do every year (1,527 to 606).[6] And readers of Newsweek learned that “only 2 percent of civilian shootings involved an innocent person mistakenly identified as a criminal. The ‘error rate’ for the police, however, was 11 percent, more than five times as high.”[7]

* Handguns are the weapon of choice for self-defense. Citizens use handguns to protect themselves over 1.9 million times a year. [8] Many of these self-defense handguns could be labeled as “Saturday Night Specials.”

B. Concealed carry laws help reduce crime

* Nationwide: one-half million self-defense uses. Every year, as many as one-half million citizens defend themselves with a firearm away from home. [9] * Concealed carry laws are dropping crime rates across the country. A comprehensive national study determined in 1996 that violent crime fell after states made it legal to carry concealed firearms. The results of the study showed:

* States which passed concealed carry laws reduced their murder rate by 8.5%, rapes by 5%, aggravated assaults by 7% and robbery by 3%; [10] and * If those states not having concealed carry laws had adopted such laws in 1992, then approximately 1,570 murders, 4,177 rapes, 60,000 aggravated assaults and over 11,000 robberies would have been avoided yearly.[11]

* Vermont: one of the safest five states in the country. In Vermont, citizens can carry a firearm without getting permission… without paying a fee… or without going through any kind of government-imposed waiting period. And yet for ten years in a row, Vermont has remained one of the top-five, safest states in the union — having three times received the “Safest State Award.”[12]

* Florida: concealed carry helps slash the murder rates in the state. In the fifteen years following the passage of Florida’s concealed carry law in 1987, over 800,000 permits to carry firearms were issued to people in the state. [13] FBI reports show that the homicide rate in Florida, which in 1987 was much higher than the national average, fell 52% during that 15-year period — thus putting the Florida rate below the national average. [14]

* Do firearms carry laws result in chaos? No. Consider the case of Florida. A citizen in the Sunshine State is far more likely to be attacked by an alligator than to be assaulted by a concealed carry holder.

1. During the first fifteen years that the Florida law was in effect, alligator attacks outpaced the number of crimes committed by carry holders by a 229 to 155 margin.

2. And even the 155 “crimes” committed by concealed carry permit holders are somewhat misleading as most of these infractions resulted from Floridians who accidentally carried their firearms into restricted areas, such as an airport. [15]

C. Criminals avoid armed citizens

* Kennesaw, GA. In 1982, this suburb of Atlanta passed a law requiring heads of households to keep at least one firearm in the house. The residential burglary rate subsequently dropped 89% in Kennesaw, compared to the modest 10.4% drop in Georgia as a whole. [16]

* Ten years later (1991), the residential burglary rate in Kennesaw was still 72% lower than it had been in 1981, before the law was passed. [17]

* Nationwide. Statistical comparisons with other countries show that burglars in the United States are far less apt to enter an occupied home than their foreign counterparts who live in countries where fewer civilians own firearms. Consider the following rates showing how often a homeowner is present when a burglar strikes:

* Homeowner occupancy rate in the gun control countries of Great Britain, Canada and Netherlands: 45% (average of the three countries); and, * Homeowner occupancy rate in the United States: 12.7%. [18] Rapes averted when women carry or use firearms for protection

* Orlando, FL. In 1966-67, the media highly publicized a safety course which taught Orlando women how to use guns. The result: Orlando’s rape rate dropped 88% in 1967, whereas the rape rate remained constant in the rest of Florida and the nation. [19]

* Nationwide. In 1979, the Carter Justice Department found that of more than 32,000 attempted rapes, 32% were actually committed. But when a woman was armed with a gun or knife, only 3% of the attempted rapes were actually successful. [20] Justice Department study:

* 3/5 of felons polled agreed that “a criminal is not going to mess around with a victim he knows is armed with a gun.” [21]

* 74% of felons polled agreed that “one reason burglars avoid houses when people are at home is that they fear being shot during the crime.”[22] * 57% of felons polled agreed that “criminals are more worried about meeting an armed victim than they are about running into the police.” [23]

That's the thing though. We do have certain forms of socialism, lets call them traits.


Bernie and company seem to want to transform the country into a primary socialist one. They called billionaires immoral. To the right, a lot of moderates and even some of those on the left that seems idiotic.


The ceo of star bucks made a great point on this. He took a mom and pop coffee store to an international brand and is a billionaire because of it. It is literally the American dream yet some of the loudest voices on the left say he is immoral because of it.


Another thing is the identity politics. The dems seem to be turning into the party of keyboard sjw's.


This for instance

Also, what does "mental unstable" mean? Who decides that? Are Gays, Transgender and Communists considered mentally unstable? Victims of abuse?

Why would veterans get an automatic exemption? They don't suffer from mental illness? They don't commit crimes?

I also already pass a background check for every firearm I've purchased, so you got one out of three.

You know what would FEEL GOOD is not being among the 440 people killed in the stat you cited so callously equating those lives to acceptable casualties in comparison to traffic deaths. ]

You say I am being callous.

I implore you to read a short story called the equation. Or at least The synopsis
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cold_Equations

I am not saying I do not care about those 440 people. What I am saying is that When making legislation I think we should look at the bigger picture. Versus the feel-good type of legislation that is directly in front of us. No one likes mass shootings. No one like people being killed. But if you look at the amount of mass shootings in the amount of people actually dying by these guns you will see that it is not as big a problem as the media likes to make it out to be. That is not my opinion that is strictly with the data says.

if you go further the data that Cornic posted shows more people are saved by these guns ( then more people are killed which is why I brought up the cold equation. If you did not read the synopsis essentially a woman hasn’t make a choice of either dying herself one person or killing an entire colony full of sick people plus the pilot she’s on the ship with.

Criminals will not care about your gun laws. Criminals will still find a way to get around gun laws. How many felons are caught with them to this day even though in most states feelings cannot purchase firearms. Ghost guns do exist. So simply banning guns or so-called assault rifles from the population is not a viable solution. Not even to mention where with this buy back money come from or how would it be enforced with the millions upon millions of guns that are in United States and the limited police force.

With the police have to go door-to-door to search homes for guns? Or would it be like drugs where ithe police get a tip or probable cause they can pull someone over to search for guns.

As CORBIC pointed out earlier when people want to commit mass killings against other people if they don’t have guns they will simply use something else will it be a bomb or knives as he posted in those articles above.

Mass violence is not a gun problem it is a people problem. By better managing our social economic way of living in having resources for those who feel desperate her loss suicidal or otherwise mentally unstable I think that would have a greater impact on shootings then banning guns.

With the police have to go door-to-door to search homes for guns? Or would it be like drugs where ithe police get a tip or probable cause they can pull someone over to search for guns. That would lead to considerably more people incarcerated for having a banned item. The fallout from this is you would instantly create a black market guns.

It's not a "loop hole", the idea of person to person sale has been around forever. It makes no sense that to pay fees and paper work when your father wants to give you his prized pistol or you want to trade a 45 for your brother's 9mm or your best friend is hard up for cash so you offer to buy his AR.

Go to any gunshow and there will be an FFL there doing transfers for $5-25. Nobody wants the liability of setting up a booth and getting blasted later on with a lawsuit becuase they unwittingly sold to a criminal.

You can't do cross state person to person sales, and once again, no one with common sense is going to sell to a stranger a pistol for cash at the Walmart parking lot.

Some FFLs work as a broker, $20 each way. You drop the gun off, the guy picks it up and does the paper work whenever and leaves the cash with the FFL.

Anyone looking for a Walmart parking lot deal is going to do it whether it's legal or not.

With all the rhetoric that's so far left and right it makes my head hurt. Facts people, facts. The Democratic Party wants to ban assault styles weapons, but the gun lobby is a wing of the Republican Party and will not let that happen! This scenario will play out like a hamster in a hamster wheel. The best thing to do is go after unlicensed gun sales, tighter background screenings, up the age of purchase to 21 / 25 and a federal red flag law. Red Flag could have stopped Sandy Hook. The Air Force updating the FBI database for members with a dishonorable discharge, or bad REF Codes could of prevented the Summit Springs shooting. That's two mass shootings that could have been averted if we had stronger and better laws. Who disagrees and why? All military beaches need to update the FBI databases just not the Air Force.

And dont get me started on the red flag laws.

Hell some simple snowflake on the forum could be butt hurt about my comments tell im a firearm owner...make one simple phone call and bam...life turned upside down.

Again crimals will continue to break the law no matter what. These laws ur so pushing to have will only strip, hurt and cost lives of the innocent law abiding citizens.

The push back the dems are seeing is because common folks can see thru the bullshit..... handguns cause more deaths why not try and ban those? More inner city gun deaths, why not try to right that?

Stated over and over..their not after JUST "assult style rifles". That is only the beginning. Then they will make reasons togo after other guns..till theres none left. Then what now weve been stripped of our 2nd amendment, maybe theyll go after the 1st.

An assault weapon is any weapon model of military weapon or capable of firing in rapid succession without reloading.

Red flag laws came about due to the large amount of domestic violence and crimes of passion. Cruz was on several forums talking about committing a mass shooting and had history of violence. If the Flordia Police Department listen to the FBI and arrested him there would be no Parkland. Fellow members of the forum turned him in because of his insane statements.

Legit question. Do you understand how guns work? This definition is so broad it just descrived almost every gun except bolt action rifles, muzzle loaders and single shell shot guns.


An automatic firearm continuously fires rounds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartridge_(firearms)) as long as the trigger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigger_(firearms)) is pressed or held and there is ammunition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammunition) in the magazine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magazine_(firearms))/chamber (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamber_(firearms)). In contrast, a semi-automatic firearm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-automatic_firearm) fires one round with each individual trigger-pull.[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_firearm#cite_note-Carter2012-1)

That's not a broad answer. Gun manufactures literal went to Congress to lobby for the sales of the full automatic/military version. Congress said no to the sales of that version and compromised with the semi automatic version. There was an event that leaded up to that decision. California added the bullets version to law a few years later and then band them all together, after the famous bank robbery we're the police was out gun and the culprits had body armor. Congress coined the name assault rifle and classified all guns with similar attributes, like large capacity magazine etc.

The FBI has been categorizing mass shootings of 4 or more for years. The reason it's getting politicize is due to the age of the victims, location, and the ethnicity of the shooter and victims. Gang violence has gone down as a whole, but certain cities just can't get right! Chicago, D.C., New Orleans, and a few others. Most of these cities have a large Organized Crime (Mobs) that fuel the drug trade and violence. Most criminals in Chicago travel to Indiana to buy their guns, because of they're poor background checks and waiting periods. Indiana also doesn't require people to have a FFL license to sell guns to out of state individuals. Louisiana would not allow me to buy a handgun because I was from Texas without a Louisiana proof of residence. Even though I was military and resided on the base. I could of purchased from a none dealer without FFL license. This individual didn't even ask to see my license, just sign a bill of sale. The bill of sale did have two line sentence about not being a felon, but that was it.

Uhhhhhh



The term assault rifle is generally attributed to Adolf Hitler, who, for propaganda purposes, used the German word Sturmgewehr (which translates to "assault rifle") as the new name for the MP43, subsequently known as the Sturmgewehr 44 or StG 44.[6][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]









I am guessing you mean





Drawing from federal and state law definitions, the term assault weapon refers primarily to semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns that are able to accept detachable magazines and possess one or more other features.[2][10][11] Some jurisdictions define revolving cylinder shotguns as assault weapons.[12][13] Legislative definitions do not include fully automatic weapons, which are regulated separately as Title II weapons under federal law.[14][n 1] A key defining law was the now-defunct Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994.[14] At that time, the United States Department of Justice said, "In general, assault weapons are semiautomatic firearms with a large magazine of ammunition that were designed and configured for rapid fire and combat use."[3]

Common attributes used in legislative definitions of assault weapons include:

Semi-automatic firearm capable of accepting a detachable magazine[11][14]
Folding or telescoping (collapsible) stock,[14] which reduces the overall length of the firearm[16]
A pistol grip that protrudes beneath the action of the weapon[14]
Bayonet lug,[14] which allows the mounting of a bayonet
Threaded barrel, which can accept devices such as a flash suppressor, Suppressor,[14] compensator or muzzle brake
Grenade launcher[14]
Barrel shroud, which prevents burning of shooter's arm or hand as a safety device.[citation needed]
Dictionary definitions vary from legal definitions. Dictionary.com defines "assault weapon" as "any of various automatic and semiautomatic military firearms utilizing an intermediate-power cartridge, designed for individual use."[17] Merriam-Webster's online definition is "any of various automatic or semiautomatic firearms; especially: assault rifle."[18]





Like I said, broad. Depending on jurisdiction just about anything can be an assault weapon.

The 4-6 people that commit mass homicide each year, are still going to obtain guns on the black market or devise ways to kill +10 people in a single instance (bombs, blades, vehicles, poison)

Gangs and Violent Criminals will still have black market access to guns, member who don't will innovate.

Background Checks:

Check fucking what? Someone posted a Trump meme or Hitler Joke? Someone has anxiety? Someone was late for work? Bad credit? Banned from Facebook?

What are you going to do when it comes to.. Someone is Black and lives in Chicago? Someone is Muslim and married to a Saudi? Someone is Gender Queer and was bullied in school? Someone voted for Bernie Sanders and hates Capitalism? They are a Seahawks fan?

Are you going to create a giant information data base and generate a "social credit score" for everyone in the US? Hmmm sounds like a marvelously totalitarian dream!

A: Again you didn’t post a source so why aren’t you posting sources?

What numbers are you challenging?


B: I already posted about auto fatalities, it’s different when it’s a self derived choice or accident as opposed to murder at another’s hands.

So someone chooses to get hit by a drunk driver and dies? Someone chooses to get hit by a texting driver and die? Someone chooses to get hit by a speeding driver and die? A child chooses to have a parent not properly restrain them and die?

By your very logic those people killed in El Passo choose to die. They decided to go to Walmart, knowing full well that a Mass Shooting could happen, and they choose to go unarmed, deposited having the ability to arm themselves to prevent such an event.



C: Abortion is still legal..

So if we legalize Mass Shootings, then it wouldn't be a problem?

How would you do that? Like permit system? Lottery? Maybe a once a year "purge" event? Oh I know, just open up those "Socialist Centers" you leftist love and hire any would be mass killer to work there!!

I get why it sounds bad on paper but a lot of people only vote for left or right because that is all there is and it’s been done that way so long.

We hand all this power to two parties and they play political softball with our nation.

Remember all the articles concerning the health of Hilliary? Now they are doing the same thing to Trump.

Barack put in regulations regarding climate change and the EPA Trump undos them.

If a democrat is elected then he or she will likely softball them back screaming climate change.

The parties now see to be more focused on beating the other party versus getting stuff done.

That being said I will say 45 is not part of the Republican Party. He is like Bernie in being an independent who adopted a label to get elected under one of the two parties.

In his own way he is trying to get stuff done. Can’t argue with that. His congress however......

Washington warned of this.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington%27s_Farewell_Address#Constitutio n_and_political_factions


Washington recognizes that it is natural for people to organize and operate within groups such as political parties, but he also argues that every government has recognized political parties as an enemy and has sought to repress them because of their tendency to seek more power than other groups and to take revenge on political opponents.[5] He feels that disagreements between political parties weakened the government.

Moreover, he makes the case that "the alternate domination" of one party over another and coinciding efforts to exact revenge upon their opponents have led to horrible atrocities, and "is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism." From Washington's perspective and judgment, political parties eventually and "gradually incline the minds of men to seek security... in the absolute power of an individual",[1] leading to despotism. He acknowledges the fact that parties are sometimes beneficial in promoting liberty in monarchies, but argues that political parties must be restrained in a popularly elected government because of their tendency to distract the government from their duties, create unfounded jealousies among groups and regions, raise false alarms among the people, promote riots and insurrection, and provide foreign nations and interests access to the government where they can impose their will upon the country.

Hong Kong is the only place in China were the citizens have full access to the internet, not controlled by the Government.

Enforcing tobacco laws already on the books would make tobacco use less common in the under aged and would increase the profit of vape companies, not protect them from third world products. And Boeing, Nissan, Apple all use components made in the third world.

First off that is a blatant lie. There have been 6 vaping deaths in the country.

Secondly keeping tobacco out of teens hands is a parent’s job not the governments.

I agree July should not market to kid or make false claims. That is far as the FDA should go.

The ATF should just enforce the laws that we already have. Also require a credit card for online purchases. That way you can help curb teens buying vapes online.

Wtf is with y’all being ok with this nanny state nonsense? Whatever happened to personal responsibility?

A teenager is smart enough to know they should not be vaping if they are taught right. If they still choose to (like so many did with cigs back in the day) then that is on them.

It is not the government’s job to babysit.

Health officials say it's unclear whether there's a connection between cases, whether vaping definitively caused these illnesses and what components or chemicals of e-cigarettes might be responsible.

"We don't yet know the exact cause of these illnesses -- whether they're caused by contaminants, ingredients in the liquid or something else, such as the device itself," Dr. Ann Thomas, public health physician at Oregon Health Authority's Public Health Division, said in a statement.

"At this time, more information is needed to better understand whether there's a relationship between any specific products or substances and the reported illnesses. The illnesses under investigation involve the broader use of vaping products -- including those being used with substances like THC; e-cigarettes are considered one type of vaping product," the statement said in part.

So basically it is unknown what the actual issue with vapes are as the investigation is on going but to “protect the kids” el presidente decides to make a sweeping ban.

This is a right side example of feel good legislation.

^^ teenagers are dying from using flavored vapes at an unprecedented number. Walking pneumonia is up and it's all linked to vaping. All vape products need to be regulated by the FDA before they're sold to the masses. With this said, if you're willing to trust shit made in third world countries God be with you. The American vape association sued the previous administration in 2010 to up the age of tobacco use and to better enforce tobacco laws. This organization saw the writing on the wall, Obama and all elected officials failed the American youth.

First off that is a blatant lie. There have been 6 vaping deaths in the country.

https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/09/10/health/vaping-outbreak-2019-explainer/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

Secondly keeping tobacco out of teens hands is a parent’s job not the governments.

I agree July should not market to kid or make false claims. That is far as the FDA should go.

The ATF should just enforce the laws that we already have. Also require a credit card for online purchases. That way you can help curb teens buying vapes online.


Wtf is with y’all being ok with this nanny state nonsense? Whatever happened to personal responsibility?

A teenager is smart enough to know they should not be vaping if they are taught right. If they still choose to (like so many did with cigs back in the day) then that is on them.

It is not the government’s job to babysit.

There have been six confirmed deaths through the CDC, and 450 cases of severe lung disease. There are 15 cases in different states were the teenagers had significant breathing issues prior to death, but the State Corner office has not ruled the cause of death. The common factor is all teenagers vaped heavily. When all the findings are released the numbers will only grow.

If you don't think militaries kill for power and money, you're deluding yourself. Anyone wearing a uniform might have nothing but the best intentions in mind, but the people sending them to fight don't.

We need a third, and fourth, and fifth party. But that's not going to happen. The US will continue its slide into being a shell of what it once could have been.

Stop being bullheaded buffoons. If something is "socialist" but costs less to implement and maintain than the current system, it's the right choice. If a good idea comes from someone you hate, that doesn't make it a bad idea. We're all in this country together.

Mili-taries. Not mili-tias. I'm saying that military or militia, you're fighting for someone else's cause. Sometimes, you join because you want to fight for your parents, your neighbors, freedom... and sometimes you join because the chances of death are low and college is free.

I live in California. Face-to-face transactions are banned, but still happen. They will always still happen. There are a lot of guns out there with zero history.

Beto couldn't have my AR if I had one and I might buy one just to spite him. You know what I'd do with it? Nothing. I might go shoot lead-free ammo in an area so remote no one would ever know I'd been there. I might keep it stored in my safe. I might dress it up in a little princess outfit and throw it a tea party.

Kids don't have to go to school scared of being shot because the chances are overwhelming they'll be killed in a car crash on the way to or from school rather than in a school shooting. The chances are overwhelming they'll die young from obesity-related illnesses. The chances are overwhelming they'll die young from a medical mistake.

What we know
There are 380* cases of lung illness reported from 36 states and 1 U.S. territory. Six deaths have been reported from 6 states.
All reported cases have a history of e-cigarette product use or vaping.
Most patients have reported a history of using e-cigarette products containing THC. Many patients have reported using THC and nicotine. Some have reported the use of e-cigarette products containing only nicotine.
What we don’t know
We do not yet know the specific cause of these illnesses. The investigation has not identified any specific e-cigarette or vaping product (devices, liquids, refill pods, and/or cartridges) or substance that is linked to all cases.

So the cdc is saying the correlation seems to be thc vapes which are not legal in most places which means people are getting them from the black market and getting sick from some of them.

Meanwhile it would be law abiding vape shop owners that get fucked

I would like to see the numbers on this to see if it is far less expensive like he saysHis argument is California is forcing a 54mpg CAFE compared to the EPA's plan for 30mpg.

To achieve 54mpg fleet, makers are going to be forced to cram expensive hybrid/EV tech into every car, expensive materials to reduce weight and cut every non-madated safety system to meet these thresholds.

A Chevy Tahoe is safer then a Honda Fit. There is just no way around those physics.

Cars that do match great mileage and great safety are also extremely expensive, like a Tesla S or many luxury European cars.

EPA and FMVS have absolutely pushed up the price of New Cars.

A 60's loaded top engine Muscle car was $20k adjusted for inflation. A pedestrian Nova or Falcon barely $12k. With advancements in production I bet these cars would cost 2/3s of that today.

My Wife's 2015 Volkswagen Polo (Rus), manual, turbo, front airbags, ABS was only $9,950 new.

Build, Size, Interior and Safety are on par with a MKIV Jetta. Cheapest American Volkswagen is $19k, twice the price.


Who wouldn't buy a new S15 for $16k or R32 GTR for $25k? I assure you they are not melting the ice caps and murdering childern on the highways.

California is going to sue. The courts will make a decision and set thr precidence. If they decide "No California", you won't be repleaing that with thr next DNC President. If they decide "Yes Cali!" nothing changes and more lawsuits will follow on other State V Federal issues.


Plus vehicles for sale in 2023 are likely in production or Bill phase now so it’s not like it would have a an immediate effect.

Not so much. Companies (like FCA) are just lined up to pay huge fines or shut down production lines.

Take the politics out of it, and it's just idiotic that California (et al) are able to bully OEMs and people into subverting Federal standards.

It's not just Intial sales that are an issue for OEMs and consumers, but also used vehicles. Cali (et al) have no problem rejecting registrations and certificates of other used vehicles. If OEM choose to say "fuck CARB" you'll be seeing lawsuits when someone buys a car in Texas then moves to Cali and can't register it. It's interfering with interstate commerce.

So for all the leftist suddenly "OMG States Rights Hypocrites!", yes, Indiana has a right not to be bludgeoned into adopting California standards by sheer economic/numerical force. This is also why we need to maintain the Electoral College.

As for the tree huggers, tail pipe emissions are not an issue. Oil companies don't care about automotive gasoline.

12 Largest Container ships (ones importing made in China slave labor Facist state products) contribute more pollution then ALL THR CARS IN THE WORLD.

All the Smog in Cali is from... Those Chinese Factories.


Oil production primarily supports electricity production, industrial bases, heating and.... PLASTIC.

Anything you own, touch or use that contains plastic is a petroleum product. Oil companies do not care about MPG. Such narrow minded morons. Emerging markets are adding millions of new vehicles. New plastic products add billions of barrels of crude. Expanding industrial nations can't get enough crude oil.

Any trade war is regressive. Those who can afford the increase least pay the brunt. The wealthy buy products made all over the world but the poor are limited to inexpensive items made in China, primarily. No one should want a trade war with China because it's unnecessarily painful for lower-income Americans.

I do business in China. The majority of my manufacturing is done in Shenzhen. Other than a single company in the US, there is no one to do my manufacturing here- not at the quantity I order. Even that company would require I treble my next order; no small feat and a literal impossibility given the cost of components.

When I went to China to vet companies, I heard "yes" a lot. I heard low MOQs. I saw technologically able and dynamic companies hungry for business.

If we decide that nationalism is the word of the day, we'll fall behind. We'll make expensive products that are subsidized rather than competitive. We'll fall victim to narcissism, to politics, to cronyism, to nepotism. We'll stagnate and we'll have no one to blame but ourselves. We need to celebrate American dynamism but also realize that certain industries just don't need our involvement.

Wow....

What the fuck does any of that have to do with standing up to China and not letting them make a mockary of western human values?

In a hundred years transnational manufacturering will be looked at the same way we look at 18th century slavery.

Funny how people that demand $20/hr, free healthcare and think college is a human right... Also expect to buy cheap iPhones made by economic slaves at $5/day living under a fascist nightmare that is destroying the world's ecology.

Lie. That's like saying ending slavery is going to unfairly impact the poor because the price of cotton will increase.

The jobs shipped over seas are the low paying, low skilled jobs.

The inexpensive garbage products that come back, think Walmart, also keep the poor in a cycle of procurement.

Think of the lesson about cheap boots vs expensive boots.

We aren't talking about jobs. The jobs aren't coming back to the US. More on that later.

The inexpensive goods are all people can afford and yes, it does keep people in a cycle of procurement. However, when you need shoes and all you have is $25, you can't stretch for the $75 shoes. You literally cannot afford to buy quality products when you're living paycheck to paycheck, even if they save money in the long run.

$25 shoes from China are better quality than $25 shoes would be from the US. Reduce the cost of labor, increase the quality without decreasing the profit margin.

Again, lie.

Inexpensive products are made all over the world. Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Turkey, Brazil, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Egypt, etc.

You have selective reading problems. Notice the word "primarily." At no point did I say all inexpensive products are made only in China.

US minimum wage: $7.25/hr.

Taiwan minimum wage $4.92/hr, Korea $9/hr, Vietnam $118-171/mo, Thailand $10/day, India $2.46-12/day, Pakistan $1/mo, Turkey $441/mo, Brazil $284.10/mo, Mexico $5.42-9.34/hr, Poland $3.89/hr, Russia $154.34/mo, Egypt no minimum.

As you can see, it is much cheaper for labor in many of the countries you listed. The low-skill, low-paying jobs are going to go to any number of countries other than ours.


Again, lie.

China is a criminal enterprise who has profited from theft, extortion, murder, corruption and political bullying.

What about the US in the nineteenth century? Literally committed genocide, stole land, refused to accept secession.

A lot of our space and medical research was conducted by war criminals we pardoned because we had to get ahead of the Soviets.

Political bullying? We use the threat of military force ALL THE TIME. We use economic sanctions ALL THE TIME.


So you are biased.

No. I'm just saying I have experience with production and the reasons why one would utilize a Chinese supplier.

Sounds like an opportunity to make a fortune then.

Nope. There's not enough money in it because the big players in my realm can absorb cost increases whereas the little guys can't. I've already cut my prices by 10% to compete in a competitive niche market. That 10% stings.


So what. Doesn't excuse the genocide, organ harvesting, concentration camps, IP theft, human rights violation, pollution, corruption, financial market manipulation, espionage, colonization, etc

Nice false quote. Glad you can put words in peoples' mouths like the best of them.

The United States, at various times in its existence, has participated in genocide, in forced human testing, in forced sterilization, in concentration camps, in human rights violations, in enormous pollution (by the way, we emit more CO2 per capita than they do), financial market manipulation, espionage, and colonialization. China's just doing it in the 21st century.

Who said a thing about "nationalism"? Were talking about China and China alone.

Mind you, China's entire world view is based on Chinese Exceptism.

Our whole military and economic attitude is based on American Exceptionalism. Our expansion west was based on American Exceptionalism. China has the potential to make our pp look smol and I think that's why the GOP is worried.


Wow....

We aren't world police. Our job in the world is to do our thing and trade with people. If we don't like it, we need to make the decision as a group of consumers, not as a country. I didn't ask Trump to do shit and I'm seeing a metric assload of people not asking Trump either.

We've been a service economy for years, and the funny thing is that it's not really helping anyone but the wealthy, the ultra-wealthy, and the gods. We put ourselves in this position, not China.

Would you be so kind to explain to me how the disaster of TDR recovery from the Great Depression and his infringement on the Constitution, has anything to do with the recovery as successfully spearheaded by Obama and his team?? Are you trying to make the very illegitimate connection to Obama recovery??

I fail to see the link so would love to hear your viewpoint on how the two relates.

EDIT: Corbic, I have been doing a little reading on the New Deal. I can see how one can make the leap to the economic recovery similarities just strictly on face value (liberals supported the new deal while conservatives opposed it, having to prop up the banking industry, etc), however the intricacies, causes and nuances are where both recovery efforts begin to diverge.

He spent Katrillians propping up every liberal fantasy and cash grab, prolonging the resession and then walked off stage the world in worse shape then when he started.

in addition, addressing your statement in regards to using the IRS and News Org against political opponents......considering again, none of it has anything to do with Obama's recovery.....or better yet, the New Deal from TDR.

Federal money to buy support of what?? How is Obama a communist?? And why, with what I mentioned above, that forcing policy changes was a bad idea considering what led to the crash in 08??

I am utterly confused as you have soo much unrelated and false statements wrapped up in your three line response that has nothing to do with the recovery at hand from either TDR or Obama :(

3.Not sure what any of that has to do with Obama's recovery considering the actual facts state without Obama admin's intervention, there would be no recovery.


2.If anything bunk mortgage backed securities, the banking industry (and people living above their means, which isn't a left/right wing thing) and


1. the GOP's fascination with war is what brought to the


4. crash of 08.

Let's unpack this as nonpartisan as possible.

1. GOP is no more "war mongering" then the DNC, both historically and present. I'd argue the opposite since the DNC dragged us into the Civil War, WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam.

The reality is both parties are full of oligarchs who see war as a tool to build support. There are just as many, if not more, DNC members in the pockets of the "military industrial complex" as there are GOP. Plenty of Blue states have huge defense contractor presences, California, Washington, Maryland, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois, etc.

DNC almost unanimously supported the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq until they didn't for political reasons. Once Obama was in, back to war! As he expanded drone strikes, supported the over throw of allies and stables governments and let the CIA run a muck. Whole DNC suddenly forgot about black sites and GITMO.

Another example, DNC howled when Bush "let" Russia invade Georgia. (Proven a internationally legal peace keeping intervention).

But then it was the GOP howling when Obama "let" the Russians "invade" Crimea (Condemned internationally... But Crimea was always Russia's)

Now we have GOP AND DNC crying about Trump. GOP cried Obama was soft on Iran, now the DNC is crying Trump is to soft on Syria and mean to Iran but he should have bombed Iran!

Both then cry he cuts spending or beats up on Lockheed and the Airforce...

Saddly thr US has become very good at applying force and the oligarchs are drunk on it.

*also interesting how the DNC cries NYT, Times, CNN and the intellegenence community lied to them and got WMD wrong... But now hold them as a gold standard.


2. Big Banks = GOP = Trump

Again, this is not correct. First, the banks fucking hate Trump. Trump wants to dismantle the Fed and has talked about returning to a gold standard.

For better or worse, he is not in lock step with "the financial community".

Second, most of these "big banks" heavily support the DNC, both in contributions and actions. It was no secret they wanted Hilary. Barny Frank and Chris Dobbs where basically the architects for the mortgage crisis.

Third, you mention "living beyond means" as a problem, but who made that possible? Many laws have been passed under the guise of "Social progression" and equality, equal leading laws, subsidized student loans to anyone with a pulse, mortgages for everyone!

Much of the loan industry has its hands tied. Further, you now currently have the DNC offering to relieve student debt, which is basically a giant banking pay off and vote bribe.

3. What interventions?

Massive Spending using Chinese financed debt, much of which was embezzled, stolen or lost. What did make it into the economy was then used to bank roll moving jobs to... China?

Healthcare reform that... Wait for it....

FUCKED EVERYONE

Rich people now pay 4x as much, poor people still don't have coverage, old people still don't have coverage and anyone that does have coverage pays out the ass... Oh and we spent a katrillaon dollars on it. Sounds Great!!!

4. The Afghan/Iraq conflicts did not crash the economy. Unsecured toxic mortgages being bundled and sold did. As stated, the orgin of this was the DNCs 1990's plan to get more poor people into homes and college. (mortgages and student loans).

Unfortunately neither party took action after the collapse to make corporate boards and exicutives personally responsible for their actions.


I find it interesting you have to have a license to teach, clean teeth, practice law and medicine , open a day care, sell cars, guns, alcohol, cooked food etc... But you don't have to have one to run a trillion dollar corporation into the ground and bankrupt a country...

Corbic. To Note: NO STANDING PRESIDENT can get us into a war unless voted in by Congress!

WW1 - The Vote by Congress was almost unanimous

Two days after the U.S. Senate voted 82 to 6 to declare war against Germany, the U.S. House of Representatives endorses the declaration by a vote of 373 to 50, and America formally enters World War I.

So no, the DNC DID NOT pull us into WWI. Germany torpedoed several ships, including an Italian ship carrying 27 Americans, all who perished at the hands of Germany. In addition, Germany started an all encompassing war against one of our biggest trading partners, an Allied, Britain.

https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/america-enters-world-war-i

WW2 - America remained neutral until Japan bombed Pearl Harbour. Congress only had one dissenting vote against entering war with Japan, and ultimately Germany and Italy.

America's isolation from war ended on December 7, 1941, when Japan staged a surprise attack on American military installations in the Pacific. The most devastating strike came at Pearl Harbor, the Hawaiian naval base where much of the US Pacific Fleet was moored. In a two-hour attack, Japanese warplanes sank or damaged 18 warships and destroyed 164 aircraft. Over 2,400 servicemen and civilians lost their lives.

Though stunned by the events of December 7, Americans were also resolute. On December 8, President Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war against Japan. The declaration passed with just one dissenting vote. Three days later, Germany and Italy, allied with Japan, declared war on the United States. America was now drawn into a global war. It had allies in this fight--most importantly Great Britain and the Soviet Union. But the job the nation faced in December 1941 was formidable.

Civil War -
The Democratic Party was formed in 1792, when supporters of Thomas Jefferson began using the name Republicans, or Jeffersonian Republicans, to emphasize its anti-aristocratic policies. It adopted its present name during the Presidency of Andrew Jackson in the 1830s. In the 1840s and '50s, the party was in conflict over extending slavery to the Western territories. Southern Democrats insisted on protecting slavery in all the territories while many Northern Democrats resisted.

The party split over the slavery issue in 1860 at its Presidential convention in Charleston, South Carolina.
Northern Democrats nominated Stephen Douglas as their candidate, and Southern Democrats adopted a pro-slavery platform and nominated John C. Breckinridge in an election campaign that would be won by Abraham Lincoln and the newly formed Republican Party. After the Civil War, most white Southerners opposed Radical Reconstruction and the Republican Party's support of black civil and political rights

https://www.thirteen.org/wnet/jimcrow/stories_org_democratic.html

However, the key is, those Democrats, who supported slavery, ALL SHIFTED TO THE GOP in the 1960s during the Southern Strategy

I am pretty sure you are going to ignore that last line because it doesn't fit your narrative. But whatever. I am not going to argue the rest......You yourself need to go read a book.

1960 TO 1964: RACIAL ISSUES REEMERGE, AND REPUBLICANS MOVE TO THE RIGHT

During the 1950s events such as the Supreme Court’s 1954 ruling ordering schools to desegregate (Brown v. Board of Education ) and the 1957 crisis attending the integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, kept civil rights issues on the national agenda. However, the Democratic and Republican parties equivocated on civil rights issues, until 1964. That year, President Lyndon B. Johnson and northern members of Congress from both parties overcame fierce southern Democratic opposition to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed segregated public places, including most private businesses, and banned employment discrimination. Meanwhile, Republicans moved sharply rightward on racial issues (Carmines and Stimson 1989), nominating Arizona senator Barry Goldwater for the presidency in 1964. Far more conservative on racial issues than previous Republican candidates had been, Goldwater argued forcefully against the Civil Rights Act, emphasizing his view that proper jurisdiction over civil rights policy lay with the states, not the federal government. Goldwater’s argument was not openly racist: He neither vilified blacks nor made openly segregationist appeals, as Thurmond and other southern Democratic politicians had for decades. Nonetheless, Goldwater’s position was enormously attractive to white southerners enraged by the national Democratic Party’s embrace of civil rights laws. President Johnson won a landslide reelection over Goldwater in 1964. But Goldwater carried five Deep South states that had not voted Republican in presidential elections since Reconstruction. The Democratic lock on the South was broken, and issues and developments after 1964 would continue to erode white southerners’ loyalty toward the Democratic Party.

The southern strategy, then, first emerged in 1964 to attract white southerners by positioning the Republican Party as the new political home for racial conservatism (Carmines and Stimson 1989). Columnist Robert Novak (1965) described the southern strategy as encompassing staunch anti-Communism in foreign affairs and conservative appeals for a less activist federal government in domestic affairs, and deemphasizing civil rights without endorsing racial segregation or discrimination, to attract white southerners but avoid alienating moderate whites with raw racial appeals. After 1964 the southern strategy flowered, but with a changing issue focus, favoring more covertly racial issues such as social welfare programs, “law and order,” school busing, and, in the 1980s, affirmative action and violent crime.

No, everything in the article that was presented as a fact was one. However anyone who's taken middle school math should be able to see that the number of violent crimes has nothing to do with the amount of MSRs to market.
Correlation≠Causation. On a side note, the reason so many people want guns like this banned or more strictly regulated isn't because of single deaths or homicides, it's because of mass shootings. banning this stuff isn't going to change those individual deaths, but its sure as hell going to make it harder for the trench coat kid to grab his dads gun and unload a 100 round mag into his high school class, you can't deny that.

Allied is is a word which comes to mind. Also, If you take the time to even bother to read, you would realize of the 11,000 of prisoners the Kurds currently house, several hundred of those are ISIS fighters and which they are doing at the behest of the US. If the Kurds need to go to war to protect themselves and unable to guard the prisoners, those very same ISIS fighters will be released into society. The Kurds themselves essentially said as much recently.

So now, not only do you have ISIS fighters returning to the battlefield trump claimed he conquered, now trump has essentially fostered another enemy in the case of the Kurds, as trump essentially left them to be slaughtered by Turkey, which could easily degrade into a SEPARATE, additional ISIS group. I am so happy that Corbic is so patriotic to want another 9-11. Good job Corbic....

Corbic: The man with little idea of history and how exactly ISIS came about and what very important role the Kurds played in (according to trump) "defeating" ISIS.

ISIS came about because the US decided to over throw Sadam, bring democracy to Iraq which created a single party dominated ethnic-state that retaliated against the former Suni rulers... who then responded with violence to overthrow the government.


Allied is is a word which comes to mind.

You mean like Turkey and Iraq? Honestly, it sounds like you have no idea what the issue with the Kurds or any of the back story here.

Also, If you take the time to even bother to read, you would realize of the 11,000 of prisoners the Kurds currently house, several hundred of those are ISIS fighters

So what?


and which they are doing at the behest of the US. If the Kurds need to go to war to protect themselves and unable to guard the prisoners, those very same ISIS fighters will be released into society. The Kurds themselves essentially said as much recently.

So wait, are the Kurds fighting ISIS or only holding ISIS prisoners because they want to suck up to the US? Sounds like you are contradicting you own argument.

So now, not only do you have ISIS fighters returning to the battlefield trump claimed he conquered

So, in your brain, the Kurds will release ISIS Prisoners they captured back onto the battlefield... to fight them again... because why again?


now trump has essentially fostered another enemy in the case of the Kurds,

Since you and Lewinsky are both spouting this, I'm guessing this is what MSNBC is saying? Trump is making a Kurdish Joker now? Aren't you worried about the Syrian or Turkish Joker he'll make by starting another war?


as trump essentially left them to be slaughtered by Turkey, which could easily degrade into a SEPARATE, additional ISIS group.

And this is all Orange Mans fault. Germany, France and England have nothing to do with this? They have no obligation despite their own fucking ally is the source of the sour grapes? Why is no one else in the EU or NATO obliged to control their homie?


I am so happy that Corbic is so patriotic to want another 9-11. Good job Corbic....

You know, we could just go back to Obama's Muslim Ban.. the one that once Trump took over became the most RACIST thing ever... REEEEE

Also, if the Turks are going to slaughter all the Kurds... there won't be a Kurdish Joker.... because their all gone.

And Corbic, please point out anywhere in my posts I said Mattis was a war monger.

I'm not wasting time digging through the archives of Zilvia for your disparaging statements about Mattis.

The reality is, you hate Trump. Trump did something, therefore you hate it. If Trump bombed Turkey and pledge to join with Russia and deploy 300k soldiers to save Syrian Kurds... you'd be screaming he sold out to the Russians, wants to start WW3 and is wasting Trillions of dollars and ignoring his problems back home.


It's like you live in a completely alternative universe, making up shit as you go, posting random unrelated memes and overall, just being angry at the sky. The grump old men thread serves you well

lol!

Again, the problem here is I just don't feel like trying to explain the nuanced details to someone as dim witted as you and Lewinsky. I've now asked about NATO and the EU's responsibility 3 times and neither of you have even began to ponder it, likely because Rachal Madcow hasn't brought it up.

Ultimately the Kurds want to be an autonomous nation and the only way to do that is to carve out chunks from Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq. Go back in time and thank Churchill and the British Empire for this problem.

You can't be Turkey's ally if you are wanting to split off their sovereign land. You can't prop up Iraq as the regional counter balance to Iran (as we did in the 80's) if you carve Iraq up into 3 separate nations.

Syria, is just like Libya. You bump off Assad and the most violent and blood thirsty group will take over because they have the will to power. This would be ISIS or some form of them. The moderates, the educated, the peace loving will all continue to flee to Europe.

If you wanted stability and an end to violence in Syria, you should have backed Assad and the Russians 10 years ago. Put down the rebellion, crushed the Suni rebels and would have been over. Instead the US/Obama choose to support the uprising which became a splintered series of competing groups with no one having enough power to ultimately win and seize the throne.

Do you even know why Turkey is suddenly acting schizophrenic? Layout your game plan to save the Kurds, you going to plunge Turkey into a civil war?

Again, funny how all of a sudden you care about the Kurds because "oh no, Genocide! The Turks killed a Reporter!!!" yet we where just talking about China and you could give a shit less - never mind the millions in concentration camps, the tens of thousands executed each year, the thousands gutted for their organs, assassination of party members, reporters and businessmen.

https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/10/14/us-kurdish-relationship-history-syria-turkey-betrayal-kissinger/

I literally covered everything in that article.



Kurds are not instigating anything, they got left to the wolves.



Starting in mid-1962, the Shah of Iran ordered his intelligence agency, SAVAK, to help finance the Kurdish insurgency in northern Iraq to undermine the stability of the regime in Baghdad.


Clearly states there is a hundred years of the Kurds fighting insurgencies for independence and flip flopping sides to benefit their own goal. There are plenty of videos and articles about Kurdish raiders murdering Turks and fleeing across the boarder to hide in Syria. Killed over 100 people at a water works facility just recently. Is this all Kurds and Kurdish Paramilitaries? No, but it's enough to blur the lines.


The history extends back to 1920, when the Kurds, the largest ethnic group in the world not to have a state of their own, were promised autonomy in the Treaty of Sèvres. But the two great powers of the day, Britain and France, reneged in 1923 and carved up the Kurdish territories into modern-day Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. The Kurds rebelled against this betrayal and were crushed by their new British, French, Iranian, and Turkish colonizers.

Holy Fuck, just like I said!?!


Ultimately the Kurds want to be an autonomous nation and the only way to do that is to carve out chunks from Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq. Go back in time and thank Churchill and the British Empire for this problem.


Under this administration the Kurds are nothing but a pawn, used and left to die. The POTUS even questioned if the Kurds are a true alley, because they didn't help fight in WWII

Again, your very own article counters this by saying the Kurds have been a tool for everyone in the region for a hundred years. This has nothing to do with Orange Man Bad.


However, two close American allies in the region—Israel and Iran—quickly concluded that the Iraqi Kurds were ideological and strategic allies who could be exploited to keep the radical Arab nationalist regime in Baghdad—and its large military—tied down


That’s why, despite a deep affinity for the Kurds and their cause, the United States has always been clear—to itself, if not always in public—about its reluctance to support Kurdish independence.

So just like the other guy - what is you actual solution.

Are you going to create a Kurd homeland by force? Convince Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey to carve out parts of their countries, give up their regional oil rights, abandon Non-Kurds left behind and recognize a new nation?

Are you going to start conducting retaliatory bombings on Turkey, a NATO member, an EU partner? The poster child for a democratic liberal Islamic nation?

What are you going to do about Syria? Continue supporting various paramilitary quasi terrorist groups to overthrow some dude because he's an asshole? Then what? The country implodes like Libya. Are you going to support Russia and try and end the war and bring stability and law an order back?

Here you go. There are many more examples. Gun sales are going down, they will only go up if a Democrat wins the Presidency. The NRA will use fear to increase sales.

One chart doesn't make an article true. BBC is absolutely a propaganda machine and should be given as much credibility as you would Info Wars.

This is factually wrong. Typical AR pattern rifle is $500 to $800 today. An average 9mm pistol is $550. Only a few ultra trashy pistols retail for $200, think Diamond Back.

There are more guns, owned by fewer owners; like 240sxs now, several owners have many.
I also agree, the NRA is a marketing exercise; I support gun owners rights to have guns, but the NRA is bad news and more owners should be members of more responsible groups.

No I did not! I just proved my point with gun sales! To sum this up, the Kurds were left to be slaughter while the POTUS makes up lies justifying troop withdrawal. Republicans are outrage and begging the POTUS to reconsider troop withdrawal. WHY?

We've covered this multiple times in the last few pages.

So you want Trump to invade Turkey?

^^What are you talking about? Turkey is invading Syria, because the U.S. left. Russia has taken the helm and directed Turkey not to go beyond 10 kilometers into Syria. If Turkey refuses and continues, this could lead to a bigger war. This will give plenty of time for ISIS to regroup and launch more attacks.
