Carlin was a great mind. Great minds don’t apply his logic to a world that has changed beyond the scope of his observation, as you did here. That is, he would disagree with you.

Kind of like how the whole fucking #griftsquad has been milking being made fun of by Trump for months now?

OK, let’s try this again. I tapped this comment in reply to another poster, but it seems to have disappeared into the ether. But I think it’s relevant both to DED who I responded to and to Rafi, who put out the original post:

I am very disappointed by these comments. “Dime store cyclops”, shoot his eye out. Not one joke about Snake Pliskin.

Uhm, missing the point?

I think I’m more reading him as saying it would be an inconvenience. He’s suggesting that they want to reclassify loaning a firearm as a transfer requiring a background check, which would presumably not be free to do, and it would be a pain in the ass to do a background check every time someone wants to borrow a…

Not to defend Pokey the Pirate up there, but ACO is also presuming a lot in saying Crenshaw’s friends can’t pass a background check.

I don’t have any problems with clear guidelines.

Common sense gun reform: Open the NICS to private sellers. Right now, if a legal gun owner wants to conduct a private sale then there is no way for them to check the buyer’s background without involving (and likely paying) a FFL.

He needed to be in the type of long term mental health care facility that Reagan closed in the 80s

4. He was sent back to Iraq with nothing.

Have a good trip.

“Built off Kanye’s outburst”?!? She won the fucking album of the year award! She was wildly successful before, too.

Sure. In exchange, 16 year olds should be allowed to buy guns, guns can be taken anywhere and there no background checks.

So, a man in a hopeless situation who decided to take his own life while he was still able and a mentally unstable (based on your description) individual.

“Both the El Paso and Dayton shooters acquired their weapons legally; so did the Parkland, FL, shooter, the Las Vegas shooter, and did many others.”

The second one is horrible, but the first, you wouldn’t want someone to be able to end their life before going into hospice?  I watched my mom in hospice and pass away after two months and it was horrible, she didn’t want to die but if she did, I wouldn’t have a problem with her getting out in a way she felt necessary.
