Every Elected Politician or Official that takes MONEY from the NRA should be KICKED Out of Office by Congressional Decree!
Anyone, any organization, any employee, and especially any POLICITIAN that accepts "Blood Money" from the National Rifle Association is complicit in every MASS SHOOTING in America and should be driven out of office, sued, held responsible for these murders, shootings, and injuries.
The NRA is not a "Gun Owners' Rights" non-profit, benign organization. It is a FRONT for Arms Manufactures.
The NRA does not have the funds to donate tens of millions of dollars to greedy politicians willing to sell their souls to stay in power.
Nor does the infamous National Rifle Association have the number of memberships that would enable this corrupt, criminal organization to raise that level of funds from just its membership dues.
Arms manufacturers funnel tens of billions to the NRA.
These Vulture Capitalists sell LETHAL weapons, tanks, high capacity, and military rifles designed to KILL humans all over the world, and here in America, with little to no oversight. They are some of the biggest profit makers in the world and in America. They are addictive avarice that they even sell them to American Citizens through their propaganda campaign claiming to support the Second Amendment, and funnel funds into Right Wing Conservative Groups ensuring that legislators at all levels will VOTE for their policies, and shoot down those who
them.
If you are a politician from any party that takes so-called "DONATIONS" from the NRA, you are a major part of the problem.
Enough is enough! 144 mass shootings have bloodied the streets of America, killing children, teachers, teenagers, men, and women as if they were helpless targets at a SHOOTING RANGE.
It has gone on for decades, while our elected politicians blame Liberals, Protesters, and Teachers who are not armed.
Nearly all Republicans, some Democrats, and Independents are deep in the pockets of the NRA, putting LETHAL WEAPONS above their fallen, fellow citizens.
STOP SUPPORTING THE NRA and greedy, self-serving politicians that take their BLOOD-SOAKED MONEY!
Louisville, KY is the 145th Mass Shooting since January. Republicans in Congress are to blame, not "Teachers Without Guns", Liberal Extremists, Law Enforcement, the Mentally Disturbed, Post Stress Disorders, or any other damn BS excuse Conservative, Right-Wing, Gun Totting, Republican Southern Bastard that puts MONEY above their fellow citizens' lives.
BAN GUNS - NOT BOOKS, you damn idiots!
Completely, utterly ridiculous and false, of course.
Republicans, this new brand of Hysterical, Ignorant Maga-Lunatics, in Congress, have consistently opposed all proposed legislation that would stop the horrific slaughter of school children, and American lives within our country from INSANE gun nuts.
The Second Amendment (An add on to the Constitution) states in 27 words, the following:
"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."
"A well-regulated MILITIA" is not a gun nut that has an arsenal in their home to protect them from their self-induce delusions, nor does it grant them the right to carry AR-15, when these chicken-shats go shopping.
The ability to read and comprehend is a vital tool when interpreting the United States Constitution.
These are the 27 words that Right-Wing Conservatives Republicans are misinterpreting.
NO ONE IS TRYING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR SECURITY BLANKET!
They are proposing sensible "Regulations of LETHAL WEAPONS" to prevent the wanton murder of their children.
"...not "Teachers Without Guns"..."
You could have mitigation in place by sunrise, with armed guards. It's your love of sensationalism and lust for these continuing dramas, central to the mantra of gun abolition, that drives you past meaningful, rational dialog.
My Click of the Quarter.
Squally, the solution to 144 mass shootings, since January 2023 is NOT the simplistic recommendation of MORE guns, or hiring ARMED GUARDS for Schools.
Are we to add Armed guards for churches, businesses, synagogues, mosques, airports, colleges, universities, nightclubs, Casinos, etc.?
That is the solution that REPUBLICANS have proposed for decades. Frankly, it is as "cheesy" as their "Thoughts and Prayers" bull chips,
Hmm. The shooter wrote on social media that “They won’t listen to words or protests. Let’s see if they hear this.”
Wonder what he was talking about?
Sean, who gives a "SHAT" what the murderer was thinking about?
This nation has the ability to stop the internal SLAUGHTER of Mass Shootings by implementing "Sensible Regulations on LETHAL WEAPONS".
The Second Amendment argument is "Bull Crap"!
Do you want regulations on knives, bats, fists and fertilizer and diesel fuel? All can be lethal weapons. Which ones do you want to ban?
And which of these items is designed with the specific purpose of shooting someone?
A salt shaker could be a deadly weapon, you're comparing apples and bowling balls.
What difference does that make. All those things kill more people each year than assault weapons or long guns.
The point being what the item is designed to do. Do you hunt deer with salt shakers and fertilizer? No? Why not? According to you, they are the same thing.
An AR-15 is not a "Hunting Rifle". It is a LETHAL WEAPON designed for one purpose, to kill as many people as possible, and should never be in the hands of anyone that is not in the United States Military on active duty, who has been trained to use these high-powered instruments of DEATH.
Handguns with over-whelming ammunition capacity are not designed for "Home Security". They are for killing as many suspected enemies as quickly as possible.
This is not the "Wild West" where everyone was "packing". Even back then, there were communities that forbid wearing load weapons in their town because it was unnecessarily dangerous, and innocent folks could get KILLED!
It is time "Hillbillies, Texan Cowboys, and Gun Nuts" stopped making policy for the nation and started making it for themselves and their families.
Any MORON can pull a trigger!
First, do you even know what the AR in AR-15 stands for? Here is a clue it is not assault rifle or automatic rifle.
Second, AR-15s are not used by the military. The military uses mostly M-16s and M-4 rifles.
Who are you to decide just what I need to defend my home and family? That is for me to decide and bad guys to find out at their peril
They are making decisions for themselves and what is in their best interest. It is you that is trying to take that away.
Odd. It seems to be the tool of choice for every landowner I know who has a feral hog problem.
Yeah, I imagine that's a pervasive problem the world over.
You really like to say stupid shit.
How many Republican Congressmen have gone on mass shooting rampages? How is this not in the news?
It just doesn't seem like we would have had 145 special elections to replace mass murdering congressmen without somebody noticing.
LOL. 145 mass shootings in 100 days - averages out to about one and a half mass shootings every day. Requires a page in the Guinness Book of World Records. America really IS 'exceptional'.
The hundreds of thousands coming here every year probably agree with that.
If they are allowed to enter, they are appreciated for picking fruit, doing farm work, domestic service and menial restaurant tasks - you know, the jobs that Americans shun. But with the lifting of the moratorium concerning evictions, I expect to see the half-million or so homeless increase considerably. Yep, life is probably better in America than the shitholes the migrants have abandoned - the bridges are wider to provide more shelter.
It is, actually.
The US government can't put entire cities on house arrest like they have in China. They can't lock me in my home for 22hrs/day like they did in England during Covid. They can't come to my home and forcibly inject me with a drug like they did in Germany.
They can't outlaw speech they don't agree with or compel speech they want. They can't scour Facebook and remove all references to government opposition. They can't block major media outlets "just because". They can't declare a maximum number of kids per family.
I don't have to worry about what I post online here or anywhere else. I can criticize any political figure in my country without fear of imprisonment. Can you?
I can go to church whenever I want without fear of government harassment. I can read whatever books I want, or whatever websites I want, or whatever newspapers, magazines, or blogs I want. Let's don't forget about all the podcasts.
My government can't detain me without charge for years at a time.
And yeah, I can own a gun. Or guns. I can shoot recreationally, I can hunt ducks or deer, and I can shoot anybody who breaks into my home.
So yeah, Buzz. It's pretty exceptional. And if you really think it has any comparison at all with Nazi Germany, you should probably never, ever, ever again brag about the supposedly better education you think you got in Canada.
I'm glad you're proud of what America has become, Jack. I used to love America and even owned a home in America, travelled from Hawaii to Provincetown and Nantucket, from St.Louis to Miami, from Los Angeles to New York City, from Dallas to Detroit, from Chicago to Las Vegas, From Cincinnati to Palm Springs, from Buffalo to Philadelphia, from Boston to San Francisco, and much more... Now I'm so disappointed with what it has become, but stay safe, Jack. I just read about a young girl in a car on a freeway in San Francisco who was shot dead by someone who knows where. It's like a lottery. Although the odds are way against your being a winner, you actually stand a chance of winning. Unfortunately her number came up. So good luck, Jack. Keep your guns close, cause you need them.
Republican Congress members are COMPLICIT in these wanton murders by refusing to pass sensible gun regulations.
Hundreds of thousands enter illegally. haven't you heard?
[deleted]
I think if you were here, "on the ground", you would feel very differently.
You would see all the things the media doesn't report.
Describe a sensible gun regulation. Then tell us how many and which of these shootings would have been prevented by it.
She was 5 years old and they suspect it may have been gang violence
Never been to a construction job here I have you. Here in Oregon there was an illegal alien that was in the leadership of the local carpenters union.
Well I know for sure it must be better than China. The only place people are trying to enter that country from is north Korea. There are plenty of Chinese illegal immigrants coming here too. I guess that makes China a shitholes also.
right after the Nashville shooting , someone here mentioned stabbings , so i went to my MSN news page , went to the crime section and started counting .
That day there were 7 news reports of shootings , some of them considered mass shootings by definition , by contrast there were 58 news reports of stabbings some involving multiple victims . some in both cases involved death , some in both involved , just wounding . Most but not all were in urban or suburban areas .
my take is society is sick in general and it wont matter what weapon is used or banned .
Oh , and i have continued to do this kind of count , but not daily , but whn i remember and the numbers pretty much stay the same .
Yet ANOTHER innocent young life demolished - it's become "The American Way" that you see so defended here on NT and everywhere.
Which comments do you read as a defense of murder?
Chins is ignorantly described by those who have never been here - I've been here for almost 17 years and I can say that now that I know China a lot better than they do, and what they have to say about China is misinformed, purposely misinformed to deflect from bad times happening in America and to contain China from surpassing America. Abject poverty has been eradicated, nobody sleeps under bridges or goes hungry, there is a fast-growing middle class, my brother-in-law is building a home in a golf-course community and the other one runs the family farm. Potential migrants find out that it is almost impossible to enter China without a visa that indicates a good reason for them to come. I have to renew my visa every three years, but I've always been treated with friendly respect by government officials and police.
But then, China isn't the topic of this article, eh?
I understand that North Korean girls and women find migration easy even when it's against their will to work in China’s multimillion-dollar sex trade.
You seem to know more about China than I do. How much time have you spent in China?
Out of curiosity, do you think that organ harvesting is a thing there?
No reply? Obviously NOT even a minute.
None unless you count Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Do you dispute North Korean females taken to China for their sex trade and wives for Chinese men that can't find Chinese woman?
I see the defence of guns, military-style guns if not others, the defence of the NRA, and the refusal of the Republicans to pass any effective legislation that would prevent it - and in that regard I consider that to be the defence of the rate of murder that is UNDENIABLY happening (and Increasing). The destruction of young lives, like in example I just gave, and the school shootings, if not the one and a half average of shootings every day as being "The American Way".
I don't know if Joe Biden has ever been there either, but his national strategy has some strong views WRT PRC:
What are you TEXANS proposing?
A Texas Militia with thousands of "Gun Crazed Killers" that want to gun down "unarmed migrants" driven out of their country by ruthless dictators, deadly Drug Cartels, and Murderous, Unchecked Gangs of Thugs.
Texans are still playing Cowboys & Indians, wearing expensive cowboy boots, and silly "arse" Cowboy hats from the "Cattle Rustling" days of yore.
Texas is not a NATION unto itself. It was for a "New York Minute" and then begged the federal government to save their asses from the Mexican Army, whose land was stolen from them.
Texans also still idolize the Confederacy. They still want slaves, today it is migrant workers living in hovels, making pennies on the dollar, so they can pretend that they are part of the elite rivaling these Conservative non-oil barons control the state of Texas, and nearly the Republicans in Congress with their lavish donations, and strict instructions:
"If you don't PASS the tax cuts for BILLIONAIRES there will be NO MONEY for you!"
Guess what, Cowboys, Republicans under that Corrupt, Sexual Predator, CAREER CRIMINAL, Donnie J. Trump, got it passed, benefiting "Dirty Diaper Donnie," and every damn Vulture Capitalist billionaire, now pays less tax than middle-class Americans.
Texans voted for Trump, twice, and their Bull Chip Governor, who, like Trump, will do anything to stay in power to avoid going to PRISON for corruption.
Both want to run out the clock on the "Statue of Limitations", knowing that as long as they are in the office they cannot be INDICTED!
At some point, Texans have to realize that they are NOT just Texans, but AMERICAN citizens, as well. One cannot be loyal to one and not the other.
Unless, you all are in favor of another CIVL WAR, where Putin, China, North Korea, Iran, and Saudi Arabia join the fight and destroy our country for their own purposes.
Is that too difficult to see what the challenges are facing the UNITED STATES of America?
It is not about parties! It is about the total annellation by three Communist countries and two Muslim dictatorial states that are willing to destroy America Europe, Australia, and Canada for WORLD DOMINATION.
Then these psychos will battle each other, possibly destroying this planet by unleashing their NUCLEAR ARSENALS.
Dictators are the enemies, not your fellow citizens who chose a different one than the one led by a "WANNA BE DICK-TA-TOR", Donald J. Trump, who is aligned with every one of these countries, not for power, but MONEY. That is Trump's drug of choice.
That is the BATTLE. We have to choose which side we are on!
America is the land of the free - freedom to follow the example of their heroes.
Are you seriously equating America with Nazi Germany?
Come on Buzz that is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel even for you...
Next you will be saying there is freedom of speech in China...
[deleted]
Of course not. There are no fascist actions taking place in America like book banns and Abortion bans,
Oh, I'm sorry shona1 - I didn't know that China was the topic of this article, and I'm SURE you didn't mention it in order to taunt me, right?
[deleted]
[deleted]
Funny..I didn't think Nazi Germany was the topic either...
Taunting..nope just simply stating a fact..
Interesting you say that, Buzz, because you can't ban books in the United States.
You're an educated man, so I'm sure you know that deciding a book probably shouldn't go in a school library is not a 'ban'.
I'd like to see what any Native American has to say about that, Bridget.
It isn't. The topic is what is happening in America - the image was simply to show that a fascist country was an example of what America is really copying, or do you deny that there are Americans who are banning books?
I take note of the shots taken at me above, but I can understand. After all, it's hard to face the truth, isn't it.
In defense of BUZZ of the ORIENT, it is clear that the inference refers to the obstinate, NAZI-like, Right-Wing Conservative Republicans who propose lax gun regulations and BANNING BOOKS!
Thank you. I've used the words "ban" and "banning" but if they are not appropriate then what I meant by them is pulling books off the shelves and not allowing others to read them (which I consider even more akin to BURNING them than to censoring them).
Forgetting about Fascist Democrats that refuse to enforce gun laws, or even criminal law, (unless it is against their political opponents). And have their own book banning issues?
Criminals don't obey laws, period. Gun control laws will do nothing to stop criminals unless they are enforced.
So are you in favor of forcibly removing every last Democrat politician, AG, and DA that refuses to enforce gun and criminal law as written?
There has been a movement from day one of the Founding of America, to force RELIGION into the Constitution and it continues to this day. Amendment 1, of the CONSTITUTION, states:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."!
That would include requiring so-called, "Christian Bibles and Christian Theology" to be forced to be taught in PUBLIC schools, by any entity.
For GUN WHACK-A-DOODLES, Section 2 of the US CONSTITUTION makes it abundantly clear that:
"The PRESIDENT shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States when called into the actual Service of the United States"...!
The Constitution was written over two hundred years ago with a quill pen by well-educated, thoughtful men and has endured amendments, but, is difficult for some to read due to its literary style of the 18th century.
It is not the HOLY GRAIL that "Originalists" seem to believe!
The Party of Lincoln, the Republican Party, has turned into the Party of HATE, FASCITS, RACISTS, ANGRY STUPID PEOPLE a hundred and fifty-eight years since Abe's assassination by a Confederate Spy!
Unfortunately, many in the former Confederacy in the South and Southwest still cling to the ideals of that sedition that cost the lives of 600,000 American soldiers and injured over 1,385,000 others.
Racism, Religious Bigotry, Sedition, and the KKK still is alive in America.
There is a process to amend it, 27 so far.
learning of something isn't the same thing as establishing something.
When schools teach about WWII and Nazism, are they establishing the country as being Nazis? Of course not, Learning about religion isn't close to the same as establishing one.
For God's sake, wipe the spittle off your keyboard and screen and attempt to make a little sense.
All things the Democratic Party has been known to lovingly support.
I think you might have put your trousers on upside down today. That is the well-publicized PLATFORM articulated by Marjorie Taylor Green, as she tramps about 'MURIKA spewing, "Hot off the Heifer's Arse, Free Bull Chat!"
Ain't MTJ hot?
Well, there you go......thinking again.
Novel experience?
I don't think so, but maybe you can get her and AOC together and fulfill your 3-some fantasy!
I'm just trying to help out my fellow 'Murikans, miss guided friends.
let me know when you are about to start!
Yes, perhaps if you read the newest Civil War history, you might be able to keep up with the latest historic discoveries.
There are more ways to pluck a chicken, but none that the chicken likes!
Ok, I will do that.
Shall I send it to the Jail, your mental ward, or to the Dick Cheney Nursing Home for Wayward Republicans, where "Water Boarding is a Therapy - NOT a Torture"! (That is their motto)
Then your post is idiotic and should be removed in the interest of the truth.
Nonsensical post.
Great!! Will it be THIS decade?
Yes, but NO amendment has been passed that allows GUN NUTS to Open Carry Weapons, stockpile in-home Amory, or form Militias that are not "Well Regulated".
These are some of the reasons [Deleted] put forward to bolster their infantile arguments.
The lack of fundamental understanding of the United States of America's
CONSTITUTION is the main reason it is so difficult to have a discussion with Conservative, Right-Wing, Extremists Republicans!
You know, you may have a valid point IF--and ONLY if--you can point out where in the Constitution it says that it is illegal to OPEN CARRY WEAPONS.
I just don't believe you can do it.
What would you call a "SENSIBAL" post?
Well, it is, as most, Republican arguments aren't, based on correctly interpreting the 2nd Amendment.
Read it over a couple of times, and tell us what you think it means.
Nothing at all. I have no idea what "SENSIBAL" even means.
Now, if you meant to write "SENSIBLE" the answer would be just about anything here not written by you.
look, I get that you must have a law degree and know more than all the judges and lawyers in the world and how frustrating it must be for you to realize that the LAW simply doesn't agree with your silly interpretation of the Amendment.
Where is that happening?
Was there a point here? Can we put this back on the hinges and see if we can arrive at one?
The irony here is a bit thick.
There is no good defense for lies.
There you go again. Doing one of the lefts favorite things. Taking something one person says (and I am not even sure she said anything like that. Nor am I going to take your word for it) and make it a whole groups policy or ideology. So therefore I pronounce your comment bulls**t!
I get ticketed for comments like this.
So buzz , should penthouse and playboy be pulled from Kindergarten and Elementary school libraries or not ?
What pedophile or sex maniac put them there? Books in school libraries should be determined by whether or not they are appropriate for the students to comprehend - I don't agree that Huckleberry Finn or To Kill a Mockingbird should be pulled from high school libraries.
Probably the same ones that think drag queens reading to children is appropriate
"In the interest of the truth"? So you are calling me a liar and getting away with it. Since I don't want to be banned from this site I'll not return the compliment. As well, I take note of those who have agreed with your calling me a liar with their voting up your comment. I had thought that a comment that was so OBVIOUSLY sarcastic didn't need to be marked as such for supposedly intelligent people.
Apologize for the late (6 day) response been a little busy and hectic here .
The point i was making was that some censorship IS acceptable dependent on the situation using a rare quality called " common sense ". and who gets to decide the situation is acceptable for some censorship? that would be the general public usually .
You have no need to apologize to me, Mark. I consider your comments to be mature and sensible and not aimed at insulting others as some here prefer to do, and therefore your comments deserve repect. Of course, censorship is necessary depending on the circumstances, an example of the necessity to censor which is referred to above would be putting Playboy and Penthouse in a Primary School library. However, just because a book may contravene some religious extremist's viewpoint, or be contrary to a political preference is not a reason for censorship.
What i found amusing was the two publications i mentioned back in the day were considered "soft porn " at the worst and considered "Gentlemans magazines " containing actual articles of import for the times be it health , political or societal, yes even when i looked at them as a teen , i saw and read the articles contained there in ...
just as some books , like all of Orwell's , would not be a good fit to some school libraries , the titles may suggest , like animal farm , one thing , but the content would not be suited to certain age levels , here is where common sense that rare condition comes to play , and deciding where it would be appropriate .
Personally , my thoughts are there should be no banning in the public system, different sections can be set up , as for schools , that gets a little hazy as you can see i think , maturity level and age appropriateness come into play. and i also think , that books should NOT be altered from the way the writers wrote them , twain , was from an era and wrote about how it was back then , thats history , one cant change what really happened, no matter how hard anyone tried to whitewash or sanitize it later , so taking offense to something that happened before one was a gleam in their grampas eye and their grandma was considered "hot " is rather stupid to me .
I agree, however, I don't think that Censorship should be under the control of Right Wing, Conservative, Religious organizations, or Republicans who are using it as a platform to get their UGLY ARSE elected to a job that they know nothing about.
Whipping up STUPID, to me, appears to be the "Modus Operandi" of deadbeats like Donald J. Trump, whose appeal to over 70 million voters is based on LIES, BULL CHIPS, BLAME, HATE, and feeding the anger of Gun Nuts, Dead Beat, and yes, "Trailer Park Trash" that have convinced themselves that they are "PATRIOTS", and anyone that disagrees with them are the enemy and should be shot, or, in the case of Pence, hung.
Stupidity is not the first quality that voters should look for in a candidate.
It is time for loyal Americans to put their guns away, and start using their brain instead. It is a little more complicated than pulling a trigger.
Amen, Brother BUZZ.
You are a gentleman, and a scholar...when you're not drinking!
Not drinking what? I haven't drank an alcoholic beverage for about the last 4 years, and the last one that I had then was a bottle of beer I shared half-and-half with the owner of a restaurant. I was never much of a "drinker" all my life.
But I DO thank you for the compliment.
Own several firearms but am pretty sure that there are many who shouldn't.
Seems that the NRA wants to make it legal for every degenerate to own one.
What Constitutionally permissible screening criteria are you in favor of? Or do you want to amend the 2nd Amendment? What do you think it should say?
Your perception fails you miserably in this case then.
It is pretty clear what it says about "Well Regulated MILITIA". It is the insane interpretation that justifies the possession of a military armory in one house in case a Liberal with a college degree might walk by.
Paranoia and Gun Nuts are not who should be interrupting a 200-year-old document written with a feather by men in wigs.
That has been ruled on by SCOTUS several times and your opinion lost each time. Remember what it means.when you keep trying the same thing multiple times and keep expecting different results.
You just can't argue with the internet lawyers.
Well, I HATE to disagree with you Texan1211, but one can argue with Internet Lawyers, they just can't win!
Some leftist fools still continue to believe in the fairy tale that just a few more "common sense" gun laws will magically stop these shootings.
If you're gonna ban guns then don't play the moronic game of good gun/bad gun. Redefining the meaning of 'civilian' is even more moronic than than the game of good gun/bad gun. Including exclusions and exceptions isn't a ban on guns. The real objective for including exceptions and exclusions is to dictate who can have guns; certainly not a ban on guns.
The furor over gun control isn't even about guns any longer. It's really about demonizing the 'wrong kind' of people. That's how morons think. And that's why these morons won't actually ban guns.
Nerm_L @2, obviously, the slaughtering of Americans within their own FREE COUNTRY is not a "Game of Good Guns/Bad Guns".
It is a serious epidemic of GUN VIOLENCE within our country by people that too easily can purchase LETHAL WEAPONS to kill school children, teachers, police officers, individuals that have a different religion from others, or any damn fool with a GRIEVANCE.
But slaughter means victory. 200,000 and counting. (That's closing in on 20,000 a month.) We don't want Russia to win, after all. Everybody wants to be a Marine.
Of course the qualifier is gun violence in the United States. We're supposed to be peaceful warmongers. And the government will enforce that by protecting its own guns. Guns in government hands are good guns. Only guns in private hands are bad guns. So, the gun control morons want to exclude all those good guns and call it gun control. We can't ban guns, the good guys need guns.
Now a bank has been shot up. The sancto sanctorum of the good guys with guns. Money and guns are pillars of democracy. A democratic government must bribe and threaten the population to maintain peace in preparation for war. That's progress.
It's only natural that someone would begin shooting people to prove that gun controls are needed. That's how democracy is supposed to work in the United States. In the new lexicon of democracy, only violence is the pathway to peace. But does that mean the shooter was using a good gun or a bad gun? Some sacrifices must be made for progress.
Have you been drinking, again?
I've been eating the press.
Well, that explains a lot.
NOTE:
When you EAT THE PRESS, make sure you follow the same directions that
Astronauts do - "Drank Your Urine".
Doesn't it though?
That would be the yellow press.
Yes, we labored for some time over calling our publication "YELLOW JOURNALISM" but, decided it was too arcane for Re-Puritans to read, and they were one of the target groups that we wanted to "ed-u-ma-gate"!
So, we didn't. However, we do not hire "journalists". We hire exclusively Urinalists! (They work a lot cheaper)
The problem with Urinalists is they piss it all away.
Which brings us back to gun control. You know, we had an Assault Weapons Ban 30 years ago and it was pissed away. The high minded Uranalists only did what was natural. Even now they're pissing and moaning because they pissed away what they had. But it's not their fault.
My recollection is that the "COZY" relationship between the NRA and the GOP
(Government Of Putin) lust for NRA's lavish donations led to the scuttling of the "BAN on AR 15".
Mass shootings have skyrocketed ever since.
Uranalists turned Wayne LaPierre into a clickable commodity. Click! Click! Click! And the Assault Weapons Ban was pissed away. The gun lobby is big money. Those wanting to ban guns dump boatloads of money into politics, too. Anarchy is politically profitable and doesn't require anyone doing anything other than pissing it all away. Never has so much been spent on the goal of doing absolutely nothing.
The reality is that the Assault Weapons Ban (on AR-15s?) didn't actually ban guns. The government continued to add these guns to its arsenals. The actual ban was on private ownership and not a ban on Assault Weapons. We were told the government couldn't defend itself from the population it serves without banning private ownership of assault weapons.
Since you don't like Putin then Zelensky has a rifle for you. Put on your boots and go. Shoot Russians, have fun. We can't let Russia win. And shipping guns won't be enough. Because, you see, it ain't guns that kill Russians. Zelensky needs people to kill Russians. Go get 'em, Killer.
Nobody is going to ban guns.
This is just gun manufacturer/NRA propaganda to keep gun sales up.
Rednecks are so easy to fool with fear tactics.
They just aren't as wise as you. Is it genetics?
Yes it is genetics.
My parents, grandparents aunts and uncles (on both sides of the family) were all brilliant scholars in their fields (mostly mathematics) many with PhDs.
All of my younger 5 siblings have at least a bachelors degree.
Just learning stuff has always been a one-upmanship thingy in my family.
Last Christmas we had a lively discussion about the carbon molecule.
The rednecks don’t have a chance as you have them intellectually outgunned.
Ah carbon, an element who’s atoms of carbon can bond together in diverse ways, resulting in various allotropes of carbon.
Well, it is true MAGA-LOONS are easily lead, "deadheads" that prefer to follow, rather than lead.
Bullshit Piled HIgher and Deeper.
B. F. D.
You seem to be doing an excellent job of playing follow the leader, an in competent one at that.
Holy conspiracy theory Batman!!!!!!
Thanks, you Jeremy Retired in NC, for outing my "Batman" persona.
The NRA is the public relations face and a front for AMERICAN ARMS manufacturers, dressed up as a "Gun Rights", non-profit, C 3, organization for Gun Owners.
I am aware that this might be a surprise to gun owners, but once again, they are being duped by Right-Wing Conservative, Super-Rich Republican BILLIONAIRES!
What echo chamber did you hear this from?
Trump's Butt Hole!
It never lies. That is the job of his big, stupid, Wide-Opened PIE-HOLE MOUTH.
Isn't that crap in the Democratic Party platform?
Listen to it often, do you?
No way, Jose, it comes directly from Trump's Dirty Diaper A-HOLE, as GOD is my witness.
So you listen to Trump's asshole and inspect his diapers.
Enjoy your job, do ya?
Yes, I listen to Trump's AGENT ORANGE A-Hole, only when I wear my mask (gas mask) and use my "FART DE-CODER"!
How about you? Do you stick your head up his, A-Hole, too?
Well, I don't enjoy it, but as a dedicated PATRIOT, I take it upon myself to do the "dirty duty" that only MAGA-REPUBLICANs, currently are doing hourly.
Uh, thanks for your "service"?
LOL!
I never have, but it is QUITE refreshing to hear you admit you have.
Well, someone has to do it, Conservatives will consume it, but they won't "decode" its message.
Enjoy it then!
Do you spend much time decoding secret messages only leftists know about?
At 81, these messages come to me telepathically. I no longer have to decode them, until there is an obstinate one stuck up Trump's Holy Shrine, then I may be forced to use the decoder.
I use it less and less, now. There is a fee charged each time someone sticks it up there.
Comments like 3.1.2 and they expect to be taken seriously.
I just love the fact you can decode secret messages.
Care to share some of them?
Then spewed here on NT as "fact". About as factual as a Tim Burton movie.
Comments like that and the others about Republicans being fascists always are a source of amusement for those of us who just know better.
Well, everything I write is "the Whole Truth, Nothing Butt the Tooth", so help me, GARFIELD!
I shat you not!
But, if you would like me to, I can make arrangements to ship it to you for a modest fee.
I get that you want to believe that.
You are on a roll today, making me laugh with almost every post!
fascism
noun
an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.
I know what fascism is, I am still hoping that the folks who constantly misuse and abuse the word will someday gain a freaking CLUE on how to properly use it in a sentence that makes a modicum of sense.
No luck so far.
By all means!
I am a "Tooth Slayer"!
(Certified by the American Dental Society)
Well, I am HAPPY, Snappy to accommodate you.
A source of constant amusement!
Perhaps, you could provide a sentence that uses it in the correct way. That would be unloosing a verbal logger knot.
I could, but I am not the one constantly abusing and misusing the word. My ability to use the word properly has never been in question.
Thank you, that is the kindest thing I heard this week! You are such a gentle lamb, er, I mean, "man"! Please excuse my lack of typing skills.
Make your own excuses, I am busy.
It is precisely why we, here, at Eat The Press - Do Not Read It, are asking if you might send us an example of the perfect way to write it. We do not want to continue to confuse our readers with tangled sentences.
If only merely reading the word used properly would work!
Alas, that has failed to educate the people who misuse and abuse the word.
Joined the NRA back when I was a Boy Scout. Was a member for many years.
The NRA taught me gun safety and how to shoot.
(it's all about platform, breathing and trigger control).
Over the years the NRA became all about sales and far right propaganda.
Haven't been a member for many, many years now.
Well, first you have to be sworn into the Secret Agent's Auxiliary by a current member, pay your membership dues, then complete the membership questionnaire.
1. Can you read, at least a little?
2. Are you Bi-pedal or still crawl?
3. Do you have sufficient weapons in your possession that would prevent an invasion by International or Domestic Terrorists?
4. Are you capable of stringing two words together without making a mistake?
(That has been a major "Boo-Boo" for many applicants)
5. Are you willing to follow the Secret Agent's Code of Menacing without hesitation, or questions?
The evaluation goes on for four days because that is in the Bible somewhere. And, we are a devout Christian Organization with Guns.
Yes, of course, Horse. Solid advice!
Really? Tape it. That is what I live for, at 81 it may be the last laugh!
Well, Jeremy, you "outed us", and we spent so many years listening to Goebel's Audio tapes for Morons, apparently for nothing. We also were transfixed by thousands of his film clips.
I always use it to wipe my derriere!
And more fiction from the left. Ironically from one who continually censors opposing comments right here on NT.
Maybe you should try with the actual definition instead of fiction.
Have you yourself, or anyone you have ever met, bought a gun from the NRA?
I, myself, took my father to the NRA National Firearms Museum in Fairfax VA. They had a lot of firearms on display from all era's. Sadly, none were for sale.
Well I knew you have your head up someone's butt.

He got his secret decoder ring from an old box of Cracker Jacks.
define defend the constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic...

What has that got to do with anything in article or the comments. The only place you will find that phrase is in the oath of enlistment for the military and some oaths of office.
Not that I am aware of it, but it appears that MAGALOONS are addicted to this position.
Actually, it was from a Roy Rogers box of Cheerios!
Well I am sure that it doesn't apply to liberals. They don't wish to defend the constitution against anyone. They would just as soon see it destroyed that defend it
it's funny when people that don't proofread before clicking post your comment expect others to believe they have even average intelligence...
Yep, I get it. You should never be ashamed of your lack of skills. It's OK.
Just go into your favorite closet, turn the lights down low, and say over and over again, "I can, I can, I can".
Then you can...or turn into a can.
Arkdx, I believe you are upside down on that issue. As you may recall the principal architect of the United State Constitution were LIBERALS, those objecting to it were, and to this day, are RIGHT-WING, CONSERVATIVE, RELIGIOUS GUN NUTS, like those great Patriots that attempted to overthrow our country on January 6th, because a LYING SACK of horse manure told them to do it, so he might remain in office until "Death Do Us Fart"! - Jonathan Livingston Dip-Shitz, "Doctored"!
Used to be an NRA member.
Quit when I figured out that it had become nothing but a front for the industry.
Yep, it is a shattering discovery, almost as miserable as finding out your Amoure was cheating on you with an animated character.
(Heartbreaking.)
I had to call Miss Linsey Graham and get him/her to cry with me to get through this devastating crisis.
She was magnificent. Only charged me "$350.00".
(Money well spent. Miss Linseed Oil Graham Cracker, even has a Loan Program to help defer the crushing expenses in most break-ups.)
I trust this is good advice for you to chew on, but DO NOT SWALLOW. (It could be terminal)
Then you would have no problem providing the links to back it up. Or should I just list it as more fiction?
Only a troll would demand a link to common knowledge.
Straight up fiction.
Not even a need to ask!
Then there are a copious amounts of leftwing trolls on this site
Then there are a copious amounts of leftwing trolls on this site
And only an idiot would not ask for references. Given the amount of fiction coming from the left (like your claim), it's almost a requirement to ask for links.
Congressional policies should not be made by popular sentiment, but by reasonably elected, serious Congressional members, approved by the Senate and signed into law by the president of the United States.
However, juvenile-self-appointed Constitutional experts are entitled to their whacko opinions, they should STFU!
Your entire statement is easily applied to every last Democrat and leftist.
Reminiscent of both Pee Wee, and Towlie!
Really?
No, not really. But, it is how Putin spins it...
Talking your talking points from Xi again?
No, of course not, Xi is the President of Communist China, and I don't have his phone number, address, or cell phone number.
My information is "fact-checked" by our shackled former Maga-Lunatics chained to their computers in the basement of our Think/Stink Tank.
Of course you don't have Xi's number. Not even Brandon has it. This is a one way communication. Xi talks and you (plural) obey.
He already has every last Democrat and leftist number, email address, Twitter, Facebook, Snap-Chat, Youtube, and any other social media account. He is pushing his doctrines on Democrats/leftists daily; and you(plural) just keep right on plugging in.
Ronin2, that is important INTEL to know. Thank you for providing it in suck...er... such a concise, forthright manner.
At 81, my typing skills are backtracking.
Russia looks a lot like Disney Land but with NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

As a centrist it is sometimes hard to know who to shoot at.
I should be issued grenades because it is all so confusing.
Exactly, no need to get your own, the government owes you some.
Perhaps, it would be easier if everyone would voluntarily wear the uniform of their party. That would help to I.D. the irritant.
More sucking on the "Guvmint Tit" will only give Uncle Sam that "saggy chest" look, which is unbecoming for a poster caricature and could lead to CENSORSHIP, I predict.
It is my opinion that this issue requires more study.
Thank you for bringing it up for discussion. Image is, after all, the most important
ingredient in any decision-making process, don't ya know? Everything else is cheesecake.
I tend to wear gray and earth tones. Good urban camo.
Putin is rumored to be dying from CANCER, according to my "sauces", Monkey tied to their computer desk, in the "Less Than Prestigious" Bird Dropping Institute, a Think Tank for Morons, No Idiots, please.
When they are not drunk my "sauces" provide us with very, high-level, low-down "Intel"!
For example, my Fellow News Talkers. communists, they assured us on "pretty filmy" Intel, that PUTIN wants to invade and recapture all the countries that STALIN took by force killing an estimated 50 million Easter Europeans.
Putin has publicly stated on Russian TV that he is doing this, at their expense, because he is an arrogant Arse Wipe that wants to bolster his LEGACY!
Any Who, Mildew is where the Action, Jackson happens when it comes to Intel on Putin.
Mildew, "fer you all nimrods that don't know it", is located in lovely, but nearly all torn down, Mildew, Ohio, where there are NO jobs, not even "blow jobs", ever since Re-Puritans can to town and shut down everything it deemed, "WICKED & SINFUL"!
They even shuttered our main manufacturing industry, "the Cork Sacking factory", where nearly everyone in Mildew worked!
That is why we, at one time, were so prosperous. It was due to our own "Start-Up" factory, "Knee Pads for All Occasions"? It enabled Mildewvians to make extra money, Honey!
When you're a CORK STACKER - YOU ARE A CORKSAKER ALL THE WAY, so, you're gonna need knee pads. It's a given.
Unfortunately, now we are all living off the guvmint tit, and it sucks.
If only there were!
One must realize that they come in a multitude of physical and mental sizes.
Indeed, that is where the price margin comes into play, the bigger the more expensive, etc. We be "Vulture Capitalists", too! It is another one of our vices.
Wearing my Rolex is a vice?
You dang, blasted right it is, and a violation of "The Jesus" teaching. He said, "Give to the Poor, and Take from the Rich"! (It's in the Bible, somewhere.)
Well, here, in Mildew, OH-High-Ho (Where there are "NO JOBS, NOT EVEN BLOW JOBS") we got a grant from Biden's Administration to rebuild our KNEE PAD FACTORY, so in the near future we will once again be able to supply our friends who are constantly on the knees.
And, thanks to George Soros, we are reopening our CORK SACKING FACTORY!
If you are a "Cork Sacker" we have a job for you!
I would have something to say about this but it is Sunday so I have to go worship my Glock.
When folks WORSHIP their "glock" it is only two letters from the telling clue.
I have NO idea why some of my posts are published twice. A.I. must favor them.

Yesterday, I witness a Trump Supporter throw up his brain, it was the size of a meatball, slimy, and stank, but he ate it anyway. Didn't even wash it off!
How low his supporters have become!
A new audio tape of "Dirty Diaper Donnie's" Mommie, singing to DJT as a child and every night since, encouraging him to "take the road slimmer" if he was to become rich.
"If you are going to LIE...lie all the way!"
And, to this day he has never let his mommy down, but 350,000,000 others. Now that is loyalty to one's mummy!
