I sense depression in you, Bill, should we report that to someone who can check on you and your guns? https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/09/upshot/gun-deaths-are-mostly-suicides.html

Three things:
1) Nobody is saying to gun owners to take away their second amendment rights or guns. I have only heard that from right wing nuts like Bill. In a small barrel he makes a lot of noise, but it is all noise.
2) “When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history.” (former CIA Director John Brennan) might be the truest words ever spoken about President Trump. History will have the last say, not me, not Bill.
3) It is perfectly legal to have a Biden/Obama ticket in the next election. There is not a thing to stop it. Stew in that.

Remember George Orwell? The book “1984”?
Statism — or as Orwell called it, oligarchical collectivism — closes in on every side. Any generation could be the last to live even partially free. The alternative to freedom is an abased existence unworthy of mankind. You might call it absolute political correctness.

“Imagine a boot stamping on a human face…forever.”
This is the result of your “blind loyalty to Party”, about which Orwell speaks.
Good Luck!

Get out and walk for better gun laws today! #NeverAgain
See you in Houston!

And I believe if you watched something besides FOX or Breitbart or Kim Dotcom or whatever that other one is, you’d realize that this is just the last month in TrumpWorld:

A Russian spy has been outed as Guccifer, the hacker who broke into Presidential campaign computers. Saudi Arabia claims Kushner is ”In its pocket”. The President just congratulated Putin for winning a fake election but failed to remark on the biological assassination by Russian agents in Britain. Multiple campaign and gov’t officials indicted and pleading guilty to crimes. Roy Moore’s buddies are on audio tape trying to bribe someone to discredit a victim. 75 kids shot just since Parkland. A white, conservative Christian terrorized Austin. The tax cuts aren’t showing ip in our paychecks. The President’s former mistresses claim he treated them like prostitutes AND he keeps comparing women to his daughter whom he has frequently stated he is attracted to. Appointed officials are wasting taxpayer money on private planes and $30,000 dining tables. The stock market is plunging. A complete nutjob of a neo con hawk is now our National Security Advisor – and he is a stalker with a history of harassing and verbally abusing people who disagree with him. The infrastructure is broken. There’s an opioid epidemic. The White House says cancelling meals on wheels is compassionate. The US is like a giant pus pocket ready to burst. LUCKILY, the President is on it. He’s in charge. He’s going to keep us safe. He’s going to ban trans people from our military.

FLASHBACK: Hitler Also Used Children to Promote Gun Control
See: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/03/reminder-hitler-also-used-children-to-promote-gun-control/
“Today’s gun control and confiscation rally was nothing new. Nazis and leftists have been using children for decades in their attempts to take guns away from law abiding citizens.
Here’s a history lesson for young adults in America – Hitler’s regime took away guns from people in Germany and then herded those they did not like into boxcars and shipped them to concentration camps where they were enslaved, beaten, raped and murdered. The victims didn’t fire a shot in self-defense because their guns were taken away.
Hitler said –
“These boys and girls enter our organizations [at] ten years of age, and often for the first time get a little fresh air; after four years of the Young Folk they go on to the Hitler Youth, where we have them for another four years . . . And even if they are still not complete National Socialists, they go to Labor Service and are smoothed out there for another six, seven months . . . And whatever class consciousness or social status might still be left . . . the Wehrmacht [German armed forces] will take care of that.”
—Adolf Hitler (1938)
Hitler knew how important it was to indoctrinate the young to the Nazi cause early in their lives. Today’s liberals are no different.
Hitler’s Nazis also knew that the registry, confiscation and outlawing of guns was necessary to control the masses and to prevent individuals from standing up against the state. According to the National Review –
The perennial gun-control debate in America did not begin here. The same arguments for and against were made in the 1920s in the chaos of Germany’s Weimar Republic, which opted for gun registration. Law-abiding persons complied with the law, but the Communists and Nazis committing acts of political violence did not.
In 1931, Weimar authorities discovered plans for a Nazi takeover in which Jews would be denied food and persons refusing to surrender their guns within 24 hours would be executed. They were written by Werner Best, a future Gestapo official. In reaction to such threats, the government authorized the registration of all firearms and the confiscation thereof, if required for “public safety.” The interior minister warned that the records must not fall into the hands of any extremist group.
In 1933, the ultimate extremist group, led by Adolf Hitler, seized power and used the records to identify, disarm, and attack political opponents and Jews. Constitutional rights were suspended, and mass searches for and seizures of guns and dissident publications ensued. Police revoked gun licenses of Social Democrats and others who were not “politically reliable.”
Next Jews and enemies of the state were shipped to concentration camps and murdered. It’s reported that when Hitler signed gun control legislation he surrounded himself with children as a backdrop – (pic would not copy/paste)
When former President Barack Obama signed executive orders on gun control he too surrounded himself with children – (AP picture from the Guardian)
Leftists and Nazis can’t take away guns from law abiding citizens without using children as a backdrop! Today’s rally using children was another grotesque display reminiscent of Nazi Germany. …………………………………………..
The Current Children’s Crusade Against Guns (And for a Lib/Prog Take-over of America) is already coming apart at the seams. It is obvious where the organization and money is coming from. Their primary spokes-weasel is a nasty-mouth, arrogant little dictator that alienates just about everyone. Everyone knows the real reason Nikolas Cruz shot up the school was he is a known psychopath that the school and local law enforcement refused to discipline, or even put warnings in his records, because of the racist Holder-Obama policy of not arresting “Minority Students”. He should never have been allowed to buy or own a gun by existing law! He should have been incarcerated long ago.
But the Lib/Prog Totalitarian “Solution” is always to BAN THE GUNS – for Law Abiding Citizens. They don’t enforce the Anti-Gun Laws they have BECAUSE they WANT more excuses to limit all guns from the CITIZENRY!
Same old “Totalitarian Solution” to guarantee more Totalitarianism, and faster.

Here’s what’s going to happen regarding AR’s and guns. It will change. Just like the young changed Vietnam.

3% of the US population owns 50% of all guns. While a gun doesn’t stand up and shoot someone, it also doesn’t stand up, march, and register to vote. That 3% of ownership is about to be overwhelmed by the 85% of the population who support stronger gun legislation.

The real question, is when they make AR’s illegal, do you follow the law and give yours up? Or do you go to the dark side, and choose your gun over the law?

Do you check the private buyers of your guns for opioids? What exactly do you do with your gun hoard to help the opioid epidemic? How do I own a problem that I, like you, observe, but are powerless to regulate? Hasn’t there been Republican control of the Congress for the last 10 years?

Nice change of topics, since your arguments are failing. But I’ll bite, because it’s raining here and I don’t like what’s on TCM. I don’t hate Trump. I hate the job he’s doing. I hate the lifestyle he’s living on taxpayer’s $$$ while trying to cut benefits for Medicare and Social Security. I hate that he wants to undermine health care, an industry we should be supporting as a job creator of the future. I hate that he treats women, including his wives and children, as nothing more than pieces of ass. I hate that while he did everything he could to stay out of war, in his 70’s he’s now a Warwhore. Wait, maybe I do dislike him strongly. But hate? I leave that to you. I am hate free, man. And life is better for it.

Whatever Poelosi and Schumer are celebrating, it took a Republican House, Senate and President to sign into law. Without them, it’s just paper. So blame who you want to, but the fact remains, this was a Republican bill.

SMH,
Your “Gun Numbers” are WAY off!
Try some sources that actually know something about guns, for a change.
The fastest growing segment of “Gun Owners” are women. Many ladies are getting interested in hunting, but the main reason is personal defense. They are realizing that the laws that the Lib/Progs REFUSE to enforce are of no value. Local Police can try to defend the public, but their simply aren’t enough officers or money to pay them.
The FBI has become so politicized over the last decade that they are ineffective in the Cruz case and again in another Florida case a couple of weeks later. And these are only the cases we have found out about. The Media won’t tell you anything but “Ban Guns!”.
When seconds count, the police are “just minutes away”. Your primary defense against a criminal attack is YOU! It is your duty as an adult to be able to defend you family. That includes “competent, willing, and prepared”.
And what about the Parkland students that have been denied any voice in this because they are pro-gun, or simply want to tell the truth about the incompetence of school protection and the malfeasance of policies that let dangerous psychopaths like Cruz “skate” on multiple criminal charges?
That doesn’t fit the Agenda’s “Approved Solution”, so the Media Propaganda Machine won’t touch it, but the info is out there.
Gun ownership is increasing among young adults and families. Concealed Carry is way up. Murder rates have gone down from 7/100K population in 1993 to 3.6/100K in 2013. Cut in half in 20 years! Partially because of the Clinton “Gun Ban” and the huge interest in self-defense caused by that.
The AR-15 (and clones) is the most popular rifle platform in America. The Multi-caliber conversions by simply switching “uppers” is adding to its popularity. You can have the .223/5.56 NATO for varmints, practice, or defense, and change to 6mm/.243, 6.8/.270, .300, 7.62×39, or even .450 for hunting in seconds. Or to have a longer barrel for long range, or a shorter barrel for a Personal Defense Weapon. Even with the BATF $200 tax for “Short Barrel Rifles” (under 16″) I think they will become more popular. An AR-15 with a 10-12″ barrel is awesomely fast and easy to handle with great accuracy. Super for smaller people with shorter arms. And at under about 150 yards the loss of power is negligible.
The AR-15 is not “going away”. And its Big Brother the AR-10, for full size hunting cartridges, is rapidly gaining popularity. Looks the same, just bigger.
Looks don’t make a rifle an “Assault Weapon”, the key word here is the “assault” part, a criminal act by an individual.
But the Lib/Prog Big Govt Totalitarians don’t want you to realize that. So the “Scary Guns Propaganda” will continue as long as they think they are fooling people.
You are helping.
All the Media “Hoop-la” just boosts gun sales, especially for all the AR-15 platforms.

I own guns. They don’t scare me. I don’t own assault rifles. I don’t belong to the NRA nor do they speak for me.

SMH,
I am selling off some of my guns, and I do it through popular gun dealers. They have the high “walk-in” trade. The 10% commission is well worth the savings on advertising, hassle of dealing with people looking for “Private Gun Sales”, and I usually get a much better price.
I do not sell anything to dopers or suspected criminals. I’ve had FFLs before. I was mostly a gunsmith/hobbyist. I sold guns only to people I personally knew, were in my hunt club, Veterans, or Law Enforcement Officers. (I was a Special Deputy, Flight Instructor, airplanes and helicopters) I gave up my FFL because I found I was “in violation of law – Civil Rights” because of my policy.
Don’t try your sanctimonious Anti-gun crap with me. Won’t work.
If you want law enforcement, including stopping opioids, support law enforcement. Including the Wall and other things Trump is trying to do.
How many Americans are killed and injured by Criminal Invaders every year? Just Drunk Driving accidents? Way more than your vaunted “School Shootings”. There are more kids killed by bicycles every year than by guns – by a factor of TEN Times. Stupid people will do stupid things with anything potentially dangerous.
Let’s work on reducing the “STUPIDITY POTENTIAL”, not ban guns or bicycles. Or swimming pools.
And don’t complain about the cost of The Wall – $25 Billion cost is a bargain compared to the $100 Billion PER YEAR costs of the Criminal Invaders. Not including the criminal costs & damages. Or the $Billions they send out of our country and economy they send “home” every year.
The “cheap labor” may benefit a few, but it costs the Tax Payers and Citizens Billions as well as lives and property damage that is ignored by the Lib/Prog Propaganda Machine.

SMH,
Why are you, and so many other Liberals, so terribly concerned about The Donald’s sexual adventures back in the day when he was an Entertainer? He was a Registered Democrat then, so it had to be OK, right?
He seems to have cleaned up his act since he became a Republican and ran for office.
Not something to be said for your hero Bill Clinton.
Trump was never accused of rape or any coercion, or his “infidelity’ even mentioned until there was money in it after he entered politics, and all the accusations are Pre-Republican.
So, for Democrats, Sex is their private business, even sexual perversions, but Trump has to be purer than “Caesar’s wife”, even before he entered politics?
And at least ‘Trump’s women’ were gorgeous and classy. Not so much for Slick Willie.(Well, Stormy in NOT classy, but that is unproven. As ‘germophobe” as Trump is, and Stormy being kinda a sexual “grease-pit”, though beautiful, I find it hard to believe.)
The whole thing just reeks of Double Standard that the Libs and FemiNazis seem to hate so much. But when it is politically expedient….
But don’t you think it is suspicious of any group that suddenly comes out as “Morally Superior” on such trumped up accusations? (pun intended)
I think some guys may be jealous of his success with women, but what about the Liberal women? They thought he was practically “god tier”, until he went GOP?
I tell you, it is “Agenda Uber Alles” with Libtards, and they can’t see it.
I think that is why “Regular People”, even Christian Conservatives even if they have to grit their teeth and forgive him, is because the Libs whipped up “hate: for what they admired before, and accept unconditionally in people “on their side”.
The “Me,Too” movement is a curious , and temporary byproduct of this conflict. A temporary aberration of their love of immorality.
Also, another curiosity is Trump’s ex-wives seem to still get along with each other and Melania. This is a miracle that should almost qualify him for “canonization”. But the Libs hate that, too.
It will be excellent comedy material in the future after the current epidemic of Political Correctness dies out.

SMH,
For info on Opioids, and the real political backlash see:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLhFbspkVg4
Judge Jeanine’s Opening Statement, and much more.

Spent a nice Sunday writing, did you? Time will tell who is correct.

FOX News poll out this morning
Require Universal Background Checks 91%
Require Mental Health hecks 84%
Raise Age to Buy to 21 72%
Armed Guards in Schools 69%
Ban Assault Weapons 60%

Pretty overwhelming. And this was FOX News.

Polls are what the are. Internet Polls are driven by ideologues that tell each other about the “polls”
You just proved you have little interest in learning FACTS about guns you have already made your mind up about.
More people, even young people are seeing that the real problem with School Shooters is they are undisciplined violent psychopaths. That coupled with the Lib/Prog refusal to treat all students equally, Lefty propagandized police, and an even worse politicized FBI, are the major problems.
Cruz may have killed more kids because he had a rifle with a 30 round mag. but he could have had a Glock 9mm with a 33 round mag. He was able to get that “body-count” because he was not engaged by the School Security Officer in a timely manner.
What about the School Shooting just last week? The shooter killed one and wounded 2, one seriously, but the School Guard DID Engage the shooter, and he was killed.
Where was your Holy Crusade Gun-Banning Media on that one?
AWOL! Didn’t fit the AGENDA. Beat the drums for Boss Hogg and the story THEY like. Hogg is a litle fascist Wannabee copying Commies & real Fascists in gesture and rhetoric. What he needs is his mouth washed out with soap and a spanking, – several years ago.
How many school shooting have their been with AR-15s? Adam Lanza killed his mother and stole hers. Could have been a cop he ambushed to get it.
I believe Cruz is the first with a legally bought one, and he was a known psycho that was not treated or reported properly according to law. The gun is not the problem. The Law is not really the problem, but it does need better enforcement. The problem is “Feel-Good” Lefty Lib-Prog politics screwing up the system with their mainstreaming Whack-doodles, and refusing to discipline “Minorities”. Cruz was a “Minority” in name-only, but that’s enough to screw up the system, obviously.
And this “No Punishment for minorities” crap, who does it hurt the most? The kids that don’t get taught to behave in a civilized manner, and the kids that are forced to endure the bullies, and criminals.
And the Lib/Progs know they own this one totally, so it is doubly important to create a bunch of anti-gun hysteria.
200,000 marched in DC, but millions of young people have joined the NRA since this political catastrophe happened.
Think about it. And watch how it plays out after the hysteria dies down, and the truth comes out.

I don’t recall a Militant Feminist movement that embraced Clinton. Nor John Edwards, for that matter. They were both schmucks. I can imagine you heard stories about stories from your alt-reality TV and radio, but good god man, your anger towards the world runs deep. Is that how you want to go? So angry with anyone who disagrees with you?

Stormy’s attorney told her what she could say and what she couldn’t. Legal minds who know things like the law seem to like that they kept everything on a leash. Part not showing your 4 aces, part good legal strategy. But I’m sure you’re hearing otherwise.

Are you ok with a lesbian governor? Because it’s looking better every day. Gonna be a red wave….

As a fellow marcher, I saw about a 50/50 split between Students and adults. Many of the students who marched had supporters who marched with them. Our march had adults in red shirts lining the sidelines, thousands of parents, to let the kids and marchers know they were supported by others. It was enormous, and inspiring, and certainly merited the attention that politicians should give it. But if not, well, there’s November.

Donations to the NRA PAC TRIPLED in February and continue to grow.
https://www.weaselzippers.us/379788-nra-pac-donations-more-than-tripled-in-february/
Keep it up NRA can use the money! Also there is a huge infusion of new members. many young people, surprisingly a large percentage don’t even own guns…yet.
Boss Hogg and CNN are doing a great job. For the NRA & gun sales.
Most of the pics and video show mostly the “Same-o, Lame-o” P-hat crew, even with the mass busing “For The Children”.
If Lib/Progs cared about the kids they would let the teachers and other school people that are trained, competent, and WILLING – carry.
What are “Pull-ups” & what are they for?
You really are weird, you know.

President Trump’s Economic Plan has reduced the the Federal Debt to GDP Ratio in his first year as President by 1.3%. That may seem like a small amount, but he is the first President to reduce it by over 1% in his first year in over 50 years!
Obama increased the Debt Ratio 14.5% from 68% to 82.5% in his first year. and to 105% by 2016. Obama was responsible for a 37% increase in the Debt Ratio in his 8 years. His GDP growth was about $4.1 Trillion or a average of a little over 1/2 trillion per year.
Trump reduced it by growing the GDP at a much faster rate than we had seen in years even though the Debt continued to grow. Trump’s GDP growth was $1.129 in his first year.
The FED has raised the interest on the Debt to try to defeat Trump’s success. The terrible waste in the Ombnibus Spending Bill for the Dems to allow Trump to get money to rebuild the military will definitely hurt the Ratio for this year. However id the GDP continues to grow, it may overcome the increase in debt. The increase in GDP, if the money remains in circulation in OUR economy should increase tax revenues that may overcome some of the deficit spending. It is important to reduce the amount of the debt as well as the Ratio, but the Ratio is the best indication of a healthy economy, but anything over 60% is bad.
George W. Bush inherited a 55% ratio from Clinton and a Dem weakened military. he decreased it 0.5% in his first year, but then there was 9/11 and the costs of the War on Terror. That caused the Debt Ratio to grow to 62.1% in 2007 or about 1%/yr. Then came the Mortgage Meltdown caused by the ridiculous Dem/Soc program of giving NINJA mortgages to people that had No Income, No Job or Assets to pay them back. A Clinton program inspired by an ACORN lawsuit with Barack Hussein Obama as the Attorney of Record. That increased Federal Debt pushed the Ratio to 68%. So Obama “earned” that 6% to add to his 37% increase as pResident for a Grand Total of 43% of the Federal Debt Ratio. That is “The Obama Legacy”. But Pelosi, Hillary, Harry Reid, & Chuckie Schumer “helped”. How about that for an Economic Record, SMH?
