So the defense will always be "the Constitution".......well here's the First Amendment (not related, but my point)

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The Supreme Court has made definitions of what exactly "free speech" is and is not.......since the Constitution really didn't define it. It can be done for the 2nd Amendment as well.......

Free Speech (1st Amendment).........look at Schenck v. US.........proof that the Bill of Rights can be challenged and defined.......time for the 2nd Amendment.

You cannot make laws to stop people who are unlawful.

So, NONE radicalize here? Why should I take the conservative's word that restricting guns won't cut down on the amount of gun violence?

I think that within 48 hours it's pretty thin ice to say he was radicalized here, don't you? There's only one thing that would stop gun violence and that's the systematic round up of every gun in the US, forced searches of homes. The left won't let you report crazy people to the authorities, do you think the right is going to stand for unreasonable searches?

By the way, I never said none were radicalized here! I said I wouldn't take the word of DeStupido on anything.

Same can be said about terror attacks here.........only way to stop it is to put an end to ALL immigration (including from Britain and other allies, as well as athletes, etc.).....and even then it won't give you 100% definitive stop.......but that still doesn't stop the Conservatives to use immigration restriction as their talking point, yet laugh at gun control talking points.

How does restricting guns cut down gun violence when you are dealing with criminals. Restricting immigration definitely makes it difficult for anyone across the ocean to get into America.

Why do people from other countries have a right to come here? There is no right. It is granted by the governed, the US citizens. I think that is lost on liberals. If a majority doesn't want but a limited number, we have that right. We also have the right to repeal the constitution. Feel free to start it.

I'm fine with that. Limit immigration. Restrict immigration. Vet immigration. Hell, BAN immigration. That won't affect me.....well, might affect some of my sports teams, but oh well.......

Guns DO affect me and my family. I'm more likely to get shot walking in to a theatre or a concert or now a Walmart as I am to be blown up or run over by a terrorist immigrant. My point has always been, and will always be, that Americans tend to look at things that aren't the biggest threats to loss of life but are "scary" and overlook or ignore the real threats.......

You are more likely to die from a car accident than to get shot.

There are already 300 million registered guns in circulation in the US. What do we hope to realistically accomplish from here on?

There are how many addicts in America today?

There are how many cases of Cancer today?


What if we just throw our hands up on those and say "ah, too many already"?

So, are you against "vetting" gun owners each year? Interviews, evaluations, etc.?

Oh, don't get me wrong, I want strong background checks. My concern is that whatever we apply will have waning benefit

You want to vet all gun owners each year? Srlsy? I want to bang Jennifer Anniston too but I know my limitations.

Do you realize that of the 300 million registered guns in America that only 30% of Americans currently own a gun? Which equates to about 80-100 million people.......

There were 11 million immigrants that came to the United States in 2016. You want to "Vet" all immigrants?

Guess this is where we differ. I don’t believe such nonsense. I could close that deal.

We do vet all immigrants already dumbass. Not every immigrant every year.

You cant vet all gun owners every year. That amounts to a registry. Wont happen. Gun ownership is a constitutional right. Immigration is not. Put your head back in your ***.

Nobidy likes nerds man. I believe in you though. I lack that kinda confudence. Not jealous.
I mean come on. What’s not here to like? An overweight, middle aged, average height, Irish penis, with a smaller wallet than hers. I’m in. I’ve got what she’s not looking for! She’d never see me coming. I have two things going for me, charm and a sense of humor! Works like 30% of time! I’d have to pump myself up with the Great Moments come from Great Opportunity speech from The Miracle.
