I mean, it might just be that they’re authoritarians and fascists who just happen to not be in charge. If it walks like a duck...

It would be surprising if the ban doesn’t in fact get overturned in the courts, since the ATF’s position essentially relies on them arbitrarily changing the definition of what constitutes a machine gun, which a bump stock does not in fact convert any gun into, because it doesn’t alter how the mechanical components of

My point was that it is not the first time a politician has spoken on legislation particularly where it pertains to government spending, where they did not know what was in it, while using it for political gain, and it will almost certainly not be the last while we still have a government that spends trillions.

Maybe if there’s so many amendments being added, it isn’t ready to be voted on?

He’s just following in the footsteps of giants before him, like Speaker Nancy “we have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it” Pelosi. Trump’s grift is not new, it was just better done and better received before.

So, let me make sure I understand you. The NRA are terrorists, because they want everyone to have guns. But you think the only people who should have guns, are the police, who in your estimation are also terrorists. Am I understanding your position correctly?

Now, here’s a question: What you said is all well and good, but how do you enforce that without guns? I find that people willing to shoot up their co-workers and schools generally don’t respond well to things like please and thank you, or signs telling them there’s fish in a barrel guns aren’t allowed.

They also intended for your speech to take place in public squares and in pamphlets, not on a box that uses lightning to send images of words all over the world. Either rights keep up with the technology of the times or they don’t.

I know it’s trolling, but damn if there isn’t sometimes a nugget of truth in satire.

I’m starting to understand how those on the left felt about all the Benghazi BS. It’s impressive that Mueller generated a 300 page report to be sure, but the fact that it’s likely 300 pages that, again, doesn’t recommend new indictments is really something.

So a Ruger 22 is an assault weapon? Get out of here. What’s your definition of a “large magazine”? Rifles make up an exceedingly small portion of all gun deaths, semi-auto rifles even fewer, and I won’t even dignify how much of a non-problem bump stocks actually are, but since so few people have them or care about

It isn’t the only purpose, it’s the primary purpose. Those aren’t the same thing. But it’s clear you’re not here for a real debate either, so let’s just leave it at that.

Says the guy who won’t simply admit I provided an example that proved his premise wrong. I’ll even throw you a bone here. If you had simply said, “The primary purpose for guns is to kill something”, I would’ve had a much harder time arguing against that. But because you made your argument so narrow, i.e.- that guns

Whether or not mosquitoes kill more people than other animals or whether or not you’re using an entirely nonsensical example to try to prove some point doesn’t change that you made a poorly worded statement and were proven wrong.

And now the non sequiturs begin. Perhaps you’d like to just skip ahead to the ad hominem attacks? Or are there some other logical fallacies you’d like to trot out first?

I’m pretty sure a bomb can kill more people quicker than a gun.

It would be funny if you ever had anything more important to contribute than insults and anger. I really feel sorry for you that that’s all you seem to have. Nothing you say ever has any attempt at being constructive or moving the conversation forward. So in that way, you’re even worse than me or McAuliffe. Lucky for

You said killing people. Neither of those are, in fact, killing people. I’m sorry you’re shifting goal posts now because reality doesn’t fit your narrow definition.

And a mediocre critique. It’s just turtles all the way down it seems.

Killing dangerous/invasive animals and target shooting. There’s two things, what do I win?
