Cute. Also, stupid.

I already know how to handle weapons. Requiring me to pay to take a course to instruct me in something I already know is just a blatant obstacle to exercising my rights. Should we require people to take civics class and test prior to voting?

Neither was the right to abortion.

I’m not going to answer a vague assertion with any specificity. But I will say that there are constitutional safeguards in place when it comes to fundamental rights- these kinds of impositions require a compelling state interest, and be narrowly tailored, and the least restrictive means of achieving that interest.…

Incentivize them. Waive liability or indemnify private sellers who use the background check system. Not all behavior requires a government threat.

If gun control advocates really wanted this, they could make the NICS system available to the public to perform their own background checks.

Car ownership isn't a fundamental civil right.

The 2A was part of the bill of rights, not some afterthought. It was a crucial part of getting the Constitution actually ratified. If you really believed what you were saying here, you wouldn’t be calling for some bullshit, constitutionally suspect gun control legislation, you would be clamoring for a constitutional…

What other fundamental civil rights do you think should require a test to exercise?

Also, ban shitty Gawker “journalists.”

No.

I agree with you. I really liked the slow pacing of the first season, but unfortunately the show runners undermined that a few episodes before the end of the season, with the “two-weeks later...” (or whatever) jump to their neighborhood being occupied by the military. And whenever that decision was made, my guess is…
