New Zealand does not have a 2nd or 10th amendment, both of which are essentially inviolable. It also did  not have 300+ million guns on the streets.

Emphasizing red flag laws allows Republicans to fully characterize stopping gun violence as a mental health issue.

Investigators were not working backwards, starting with his online neoNazi.com account and trying to unmask his real life identity. They were starting with his real life identity and would try to establish extremist ties through interviews, arrest records, and other sources that are commonly looked at in a…

I mean, for a secret security clearance, they typically go back and interview people you were involved with in the last seven years: neighbors, employers, associates. They look into your foreign contacts. They pull law enforcement records and credit reports. They interview you.

On the plus side, assuming that they can get a decent lawyer, they might be able to use employer abuse to get a stay of deportation. 

Both Bush and Obama pushed for comprehensive immigration reform that included some sort of amnesty for long-term residents who were contributing members of society. They were both shut down by immigration extremists in congress.

The question is, why do some states still allow private party purchases between two random strangers without going through a licensed gun dealer?

I believe California recently raised the age of purchase of all guns to 21 unless you are in the military, law enforcement, or have a valid hunting license. The Gilroy Garlic Festival shooter bought his gun in Nevada. 

Because in the days of infotainment, being calm and rational does not sell. William F. Buckley could never have a popular political show today. Calm, rational discussion of ideas on television is passe. Extreme conflict sells, especially on the right. It all started with talk radio in the 1980s. 

The US had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of Israel beyond joining with the USSR on the floor of the UN in formally recognizing a Jewish state in Palestine in the 11th hour prior to the invasion of Palestine by most of the Arab nations.

Well also the fact that these days, most white nationalist murderers are radicalized online and are not formally part of any local or national group or cell. 

I would say maybe it’s because that is how it was back in the day and he hasn’t read up on the whole internet phenomena, but Carlson isn’t even that old.

The combined membership of every white supremacist organization in this country would be able to fit inside a college football stadium.

The downside is that if you want to go anywhere outside of the Western United States, you are probably going to have to change planes at least once because its selection of direct flights East of the Mississippi are slim and and international flights are are almost non-existent. PDX is an “international” airport in…

If it is a campaign rally, not an official Presidential event, so they could certainly sue his campaign for the money if they have a legal claim to it. Official Presidential events would probably be subject to sovereign immunity.

I am not being sarcastic, I am just giving an example of why I think it is irresponsible for people with a public platform, especially public servants, to be tweeting out lists of individual private citizens that donated to people that they are politically at odds with.

You didn’t answer my question. Do you think it would be acceptable for Trump to tweet out a daily list of his “haters”, e.g. a list of private donors (not public figures or organizations) in individual cities?

I mean, you don’t have to murder people to be considered a terrorist group. Chapters of the Klu Klux Klan back in the 50s were still terrorist groups even if they stopped short of lynching people. The use of violence against civilian targets is all that is required, and by that measure, a lot of Antifa is engaged in…

Yeah, because Trump supporters are not know to harass or commit acts of violence against people Trump personally calls out. . . .

Would be okay if Trump started tweeting out lists of people in individual cities who donated to his opponents?
