To be replaced with the equally idiotic argument that presence of an inanimate object turns non-murderers into murderers.

Broken clock is right twice a day. The media does love mass shootings. The epidemic of school shooting threats that swept the country last week was the direct result of wall-to-wall media sensationalizing.

Yep. When your starting point is “Second Amendment rights are indefensible and you’re morally bankrupt if you believe anything other than ‘ban all guns now’”, there’s really nothing further to discuss. You have placed the goal posts on the Moon.

Colion Noir would have been a much better spokesperson. Rubio is a squishy politician and Dana is “that crazy woman from the terrorist videos”. So many other people would have taken, expressed, and defended a consistent principled stand in favor of 2A rights.

This is the most privileged thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

People were against the no-fly list before some bozo got visted by the good idea fairy and decided it should be used to restrict guns.

even if it does introduce the potential for bans and confiscations down the road,

We let convicted felons, undocumented immigrants, and domestic abusers own and drive cars.

You will have an actual separatist civil war before you have a blanket ban on semi-automatic functionality.

I mean, dude, your employer spent the entire week relentlessly shilling for gun control. This “lifehack” site is repeatedly shilling for gun control. We know what side you’re on.

Couldn’t agree more. Notice how nobody is talking about police shootings any more, now that we want the police to take the guns away from all of our fellow Americans we don’t trust.

And that’s why AWBs are stupid, shitty legislation, as was proven back in the 90s, and you shouldn’t be shilling for them.

You could probably make a decent living filing frivolous cases in small claims court and collecting default judgements every time someone fails to show.

If you can’t coerce people to show up to court, the entire legal system is pretty much null and void.

I mean, the court system has no meaning if people cannot be physically compelled to appear. The one thing these stories have in common is people blowing off their court dates and assuming there would be no consequences.

I think we should be fighting tooth and nail about the “gigification” of our livelihoods. It’s not about “flexibility”. It’s about pushing down wages by pitting workers against each other, and weaseling out of the responsibility to provide health or retirement benefits. The “gig economy” is about using people up and…

If you’re in favor of creating millions of new felons overnight, you have no right to bitch about the drug war or mass incarceration, because you are declaring it’s okay when you do it for your reasons.

Yup. They can hear about my dissatisfaction after I’ve found a higher paid job somewhere else, then scratch their heads over why all their best people seem to bail at the first opportunity.

Hahaha. No.

The side of not murdering people, clearly.
