This is so immensely vile.

Sure they will. They’ll lock down guns the same way they lock down votes.

It will, because god forbid POC ever have anything.

As an ex-Marine I understand the seriousness of gun ownership. Never owned a weapon until receiving several a few years ago from a passing relative.

Not gonna lie, I bought the manufacturer’s extended magazine for my Glock 43 because of all the shady crap going on since 45 was elected. I have wondered if more black and brown people buying guns will make Republicans think seriously about gun control.

True...but not before a lot of black people are killed by police or overly frightened white people.

In many states you can get a concealed carry and never handle a gun in your life. Virginia is considered “middle of the road” re CC and they made me take an open book test and fire 25 rounds. That’s it.

I’d say there is legitimacy in the reasoning behind the surge in gun ownership; times are getting even more dicey for minorities, and, as demonstrated by the deafening silence of the White House on the recent shootings of the men from India, the Quebec mosque shooting, etc, it isn’t exactly being condemned by 45.

Those persons with guns in the home were at greater risk than those without guns in the home of dying from a homicide in the home (adjusted odds ratio = 1.9, 95% confidence interval: 1.1, 3.4). They were also at greater risk of dying from a firearm homicide, but risk varied by age and whether the person was…

Despite the many faults of a “two party” system, unaffiliated candidates would likely lead to more chaos. There were some two dozen candidates at the start of the latest POTUS race, and that was essentially just two parties, with primaries to whittle the field. In a free-for-all, money would be more of a factor in who…

Thanks for the explanation-- and a good illustration of a trap many of us fall into. Sometimes it’s a good idea to forget which “team” you’re supposed to back and just put your support behind the most worthy participants. If more people did that, we might have a lot less friction.

As a lifelong Independent, I haven’t faced that issue. But even if I had picked a party, once the primaries were done, there would be no limits on who I could vote for.

And I honestly have never given too much concern to presidential vacations. That job is so beyond normal; it probably means you still have 5 hours of meetings and briefings instead of the usual 16. Of course that is all predicated on taking the job seriously so fuck that lazy golfer we have now. YOU DON’T GET…

And he wasn’t putting himself ahead of the country. I keep saying that people aren’t flipping out because Trump is a staunch Reaganomics guy. We’re flipping the fuck out because he’s gleefully kicking the underpinnings of democracy out.

Serious question: Why would you need to change parties to vote for whoever you wanted to vote for?

My Mother is such an overcooker that growing up I thought breakfast sausage patties were in a shell.

I had a neighbor that was trying to explain how he cooked a Filet using a combination of frying it in a pan with butter, then broiling it and other shit. I felt like fucking slapping him.

My mother also liked to broil up some steaky hockey pucks. Ketchup or A1 were necessary lubrication for the safety of your esophagus.
