Luckily for you, all those things can be had if you have enough money and fill out the right forms.

People don’t need swimming pools either. Many more children drown every year. Maybe, it isn’t about need. Maybe, rights shouldn’t ever be about need. Because maybe, by the time you need them, it’s far too late.
I recommend the Rock Island 1911's wholeheartedly. I bought one of the tactical frame models a few months ago and for the price you really can’t do much better. Sure, a Colt or a Wilson Combat might be nicer, but not 2-3 times the price nicer.
Ok, but where’s the part where anything he said was actually wrong?
If it were a matter of the bank choosing and not law, I might agree. Private property owners should always have final say. Presumably if there were a demand for financial institutions that allow concealed carry on their premises, you would end up with some that do and some that don’t. People then could choose to…
And murders with guns pale in comparison to murders with blunt objects or bare hands. What’s your point? Defensive homicides will almost always be less prevalent than actual homicide. Please, find me an instance where that’s not true.
Actually it’s more like if you didn’t tell those people they have to be defenseless just because they’re in a particular location, they might not have died in the first place. Either because they would’ve at least had the chance to defend themselves, or the “alleged” killer might not have targeted them in the first…
Actually even the CDC found that defensive gun use happens far more than you think:
It’s as if people think that Bezos, Buffet, and Gates all have a vault somewhere with all their billions safely ensconced within. While the reality is that the vast majority of their wealth is non-liquid and mostly tied up in the ownership of shares in their respective companies. Part of the reason why the Bezos…
I mean, hey, I’m fine with parts of the government staying shut down forever if you are. Because that’s where we’re at right now. Hopefully those 800,000 people wise up and start looking for other jobs soon if that’s the case.
Because I expect someone to eventually be the adult in the room and it’s not going to be Trump or the Republicans.
I don’t believe that mixing alcohols makes you more likely to have a hangover, or a worse hangover, but I do believe personally that certain types of alcohol make me have worse hangover symptoms than others.
McConnell is on record as saying he will not advance any bill the president will not sign. Trump is on record saying he will not sign any spending bill that does not include money for his wall. Until either of these changes, we are at an impasse, no matter how much you or the Democrats in Congress stamp their feet or…
Ok great. Now get McConnell to bring that bill up for a vote. Oh, what’s that? The sound of crickets? Amazing.
You could make an argument that South Korean lives are much better now than they would otherwise be if the Korean peninsula had been allowed to unify under a Chinese-backed Kim regime. I’d also say that Bosnia probably turned out better than it would’ve without American air power.
I think you and a lot of other people are missing the key phrase I used “all things considered”. Absent of any other input, is this a good deal? Not really, no. But given that Trump is a moron and has absolutely no inclination to back down, what he’s offering is at the very least, a good starting point from which to…
You should see all the replies I dismissed. These are the ones that weren’t completely nuts.
That’s the thing. If McConnell brings it to a vote in the Senate and it passes, and the House doesn’t at least attempt a reconciliation bill, that’s going to be a bad look for them, and I don’t think enough people get that. Trump’s not playing chess, much less checkers, but there’s enough people in the shadows moving…
Studies are meaningless, for every study the Democrats produce saying we don’t need it, the Republicans will have one that says we do.
