Guns are too easy to get.

I did report him BTW. Both to the state cops at the show entrance and then again via where I was working at the time. 

I know it doesnt change the central point of the article- that the investigation into the Ferguson PD showed blatant corruption and that the town was using law enforcement as a revenue generator, mostly on the backs of poor blacks- but I still think it should be noted: the entire “hands up,. dont shoot”narrative that…

Racism is simply cowardice.

That is ABSOLUTELY not true. The problem is that both sides of the conversation/argument are hyperbolic and extreme seeking which in turn means that nothing gets done and creates a stale mate. Neither side wants to give an inch for fear that they will take a mile.

Fascists are taking over!

This is one of the things that perplexes me about the left today. We’ve got this government who is spying on us at unprecedented levels, classifying information at unprecedented levels, murdering civilians in other countries we haven’t declared war with using drones, starting wars for the most dubious reasons…

Thank you. I’m so tired of this “gun owner = wants to see children shot” bullshit.

I know lots of people that collect guns because they think they’re cool and fun to shoot at the range. None of them think they’ll ever use them to protect anyone or that there are a bunch of people out to get them. This is a gross over generalization. I’ll probably never own a gun because they’re not my thing but many…

For a socialist revolutionary who ends every other piece with a threat of overthrowing the rich, one would think you would like guns more.

Unions do a great job of protecting their members, but the real problem is that all workers deserve the protections that union members receive. Like fair compensation, decent benefits, and job security. Think about how exclusive some unions are, like the longshoreman’s union. Super hard to get in, but if you do get…

This is why durable policy is built on treaties and legislation, not executive order (or agreement in this case).

It was unlikely the Iran deal would have received majority support in the Senate, much less the 2/3 required for treaties, in 2015. However, the flip side of going down the road of executive agreement…

I have a wild idea.

Time for some game theory:

Recall how Peyton Manning used to yell “Oklahoma!” and all that shit before he snapped the ball.

I keep a truck for between 10 and 15 years. If they want to finance me for 84 or 96 months, at 1.9% interest (or less)... then sign me up.
