Liberals: The police have a long-documented history of racism, violence, and unaccountability. Only police should have access to firearms.

Conservatives: Government is inherently incompetent, self-serving, and corrupt. It is unconscionable to question police tactics or limit their powers in any way.

Amory Blaine May 24, 2022 • 4:11:45pm

I find it disgusting when grown men fetishize weapons and their ownership to the point that their technical knowledge is as some kind of wise maestro. Guns are so rediculously easy to manufacture and fire. Even an 8 year old child can score fucking headshots.

“We don’t have 50 votes for X” is not the clever argument people think it is. The senate desperately needs reform.

The fact that it is not responsive to things like “children shouldn’t be routinely butchered” is an argument for reform, not for shrugging and doing nothing.

As of 7:35p ET (6:35 CT) news outlets still had the death toll at 14, plus a teacher, and the shooter.

Though several others (numbers unclear) have been taken to hospitals, so its not unlikely the toll may rise further - though one fervently hopes not.

Crush White Nationalism May 24, 2022 • 5:30:54pm

Participants in an insurrection against the U.S. government can be barred from holding office, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled Tuesday.
The decision came in the case of Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R), who before losing his House primary this month faced a challenge from North Carolina voters arguing that his actions around the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack made him ineligible for future public service. Cawthorn suggested his case was moot given his primary loss, but the court disagreed, given that the election had not yet been certified and because the same issue could come up in another campaign.

The voting rights group Free Speech For People is backing challenges to several Republicans under a post-Civil War law that blocks from taking office anyone “who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress … engaged in insurrection or rebellion.”

Even though Cawthorn won’t be on a ballot this fall, the voters argued that the court had to overturn a lower court’s opinion that all insurrectionists, past and future, were granted amnesty under another law from the 1870s that forgave most Confederates.

Insurrectionists can be barred from office, appeals court says (WaPo)

In 2019 the Census Bureau bragged:

Voter Turnout Rates Among All Voting Age and Major Racial and Ethnic Groups Were Higher Than in 2014

They especially emphasized:

Among 18- to 29-year-olds, voter turnout went from 20 percent in 2014 to 36 percent in 2018, the largest percentage point increase for any age group — a 79 percent jump.

So yes, a big jump from 2014.

But still only about a third of under-30’s voted in that mid-term election.

If somehow we could get that over 50% turnout, I think we’d see some changes.

This is an integral part! Control includes who you grant access to or how careless you are with storage.

Lose your freedom finances and future.

re: #176 A hollow voice says Vaccinate the world!

Pity Eisenhower decided to run as a republican — they were on the edge of oblivion when he pulled them back into respectability.

Also, the first step is to boot them out resoundingly. Then work to keep them out.

Yeah, that’s one hell of a mistake, right there. At that time, the GOP was worthless because it hadn’t learned anything from the Great Depression, and was effectively just a bunch of anti-FDR haters of the New Deal and all its works.

Ike was a political naif, and threw them a life raft when he should have thrown them an anvil. IIRC it was basically both-siderism that led him to that (i.e., the GOP has been out of power too long, therefore it is their turn).

Keep in mind the NRA is celebrating tonight, because school massacres always goose gun sales, and they know that nothing will be done to stop it.

I remember reading the exact same thing about Sandy Hook. We were discussing it here at LGF.

I think it is important to be detailed because to say this was a “shooting” is sanitary. Children that young were killed by a weapon that shatters. Young kids would not have identification; they may not be recognizable. There are so many of them. Authorities are figuring 1/

I understand why people sometimes vote for scoundrels, but this is different. This is a willingness to hurt your own community by electing some local kook just because you think it pisses off people you don’t like. It’s like smashing your own stuff in a tantrum.

I was going to ask whatever happened to the attempt by New York State to shut down the NRA, but a judge had blocked it in March.

Their pitch is that a massacre will lead to a gun ban, door to door seizures, summary execution of gun advocates, etc.. Consequently, you better stock up while you can and be prepared to resist the BLM thugs, antifa terrorists, and trans groomers the gummint will deputize to carry out these atrocities (since no gawd-fearing police officer would stoop to gun grabbery.)
It makes me wonder just how many times you can run the same scam on the same marks. In this case, the marks seem to have an infinite capacity for being scammed.

It can never, ever be the fault of the poor, innocent guns.

Guns don’t kill people. Bullets kill people.

The country is already divided between those of us who see this as a tragedy and those who see it as a threat to their power. There is no bringing those groups together. Which side are you on?

re: #161 Belafon

It’s a six hour drive from Dallas.

Texas is over 813 miles from Texarkana to El Paso, and 862 miles from Brownsville to Dalhart. And Dalhart is 32 miles from Texline for a grand total of 894 miles.

It’s 802 miles from El Paso to Los Angeles. It is 1051 miles from Texline to Elmore, Saskatchewan.

Texas is really big. And really rural, despite having 5 of the 12 largest cities in its borders (Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, and Fort Worth). Those cities account for 1/4 of the TX population, but make up 2% of the land. And the population is 28 million.

So there is a lot of MAGA land out there, and it’s just chock full of MAGAts.

The % of Texans who have gotten at least 1 dose of the vaccine is 74.6.

The % of Texans who are fully vaccinated is 62.6.

A year and a half in on full vaccine availability and we are at under 63%? (And not counting boosters!) Fucking pitiful.

This front has got some juice! There’s a big pressure differential and until passage you’re going to see these goofy wind features. That’s why it’s been birthing tornadoes like Ladybird birthed ugly daughters (sorry, old Texas joke.)

re: #7 First As Tragedy, Then As Farce

respectfully, who gives a FUCK what it says in the constitution? why is that the basis for everyone’s argument? it’s a 250-year-old piece of paper.

The thing is, they are very selective about stressing the “right-to bear arms” aspect of it while ignoring the “well-regulated militia” aspect of gun-related rights.

re: #181 Shiplord Kirel: Fan of Big Bird, Bert, and Ernie

Maybe we should send the gun fetishists to field artillery school or a bomb range, or demonstrate a claymore mine or the Ginsu Hellfire for them, so they can learn that small arms are not some kind of ultimate weapon. In the overall scheme of things, civilian small arms are pipsqueak weapons, suitable for killing dumb animals or other civilians. They are all too good at that though.

Yep, like I like to say. You have a gun that will put a hole in the side of a car, the government has weapons that can blow your fucking house off the face of the earth. I know who my money is on.
