Re: Trump self pardon
I'd probably become a "Wackadoodle" if I had some bimbo running her mouth like that in my ear! Just watching the video reminded me of fingernails scratching on a chalkboard. How would you react to being in an airport and having someone, uninvited, following you around? Considering that he...

Re: Trump self pardon
How do you "pardon" someone who has not been formally accused or convicted of an actual crime? Throughout Trump's administration the MSM as continuously based their rhetoric on "what if" scenarios. Granted, Trump has done his best to give them ammunition, but how do folks get so ...

Re: What I Fear From Biden Presidency

Re: What I Fear From Biden Presidency
If I were a leftist looking to make effective inroads into gun control, I believe I would spend more time learning about the guns I want to ban. Being able to quote statistics is one thing, being able to articulate which firearms are a priority to eliminate is another. It is incredible how many time...

Re: Ebola vs COVID-1984
We certainly have seen the "to wear" or "not to wear" a mask issue become very contentious during the last few months. It has made me wonder what would be the general public's reaction should we ever experience a pandemic of greater severity. Large-scale isolation and quarantine ...

Re: How to improve our voting system
Distrust of the election system is often a sign of a society in its final phase of life. I think the distrust is a symptom of larger problems and not actually the cause. Right now any election, no matter how perfect, would be distrusted by large amounts of people. Not to be overly dramatic, but it ...

How to improve our voting system
Based on what we have seen in the last two days it's obvious our voting system has got to be improved. What's the answer? There have been theories that only people who own property, pay rent on property, or being a net tax payer (tax payout greater than government benefits) should be allowed to vote...

Re: An Undiscussed Pandemic As Likely As COVID
Yet, liberals hate guns, they represent freedom, they represent independence, and as we've seen many liberal arguments go against people taking care of themselves, because it violates the social contract of taking care of everyone else. By eliminating the ability of folks to take care of themselves...
Re: I Bonds!
I have done that recently, cashing in some of the bonds with low fixed rates. Most of the others I'm holding are paying much higher rates than anything I can replace them with. Some in the 2.5% range. I'm going to talk with my CPA and see if there is any other solutions before selling the rest. All ...

Re: Has it ever changed your life?
GWB refusing to renew the clinton assault weapon ban has changed my life for the better. Standard capacity gun magazines that retail priced for $20 used to sell for $80 to $100 because they had to be made pre-1994 and grandfathered in. Today they’d probably cost $300 a pop if the AWB renewed. Now t...

However, preventing responsible consumption of alcohol sounds so much like the perpetual argument for firearm ownership, i.e. restricting responsible gun ownership b...

Re: Without 2A, What Good Are the Other Amendments?
Tom, I would argue that a gun is the quickest and easiest force multiplier that exists. No other weapon compares to the amount of damage a fully automatic gun can inflict in a crowded setting. I am not aware of any mass shootings in this country recently that involved a fully automatic gun. As ment...

Fox News just showed several clips of the disingenuous Coumo, earlier this year, praising Trump for his help in fighting Covid in N.Y. Coumo's vile and disrespectful comments must be a good indicator it's getting closer to the election. I seriously doubt Trump or anyone else is looking forward to vi...
