Yes failed government is a Republican thing. Your state is consistently near the bottom of all 50 states in economy, health, education and a host of other metrics.
That's why he moved there. He spent his working years in a prosperous blue state where he had the ability to get work and make good money, then when he retired he moved to one of the poorest red states in the nation where the cost of living is low because the standard of living is low to make his blue state money go farther. Perfectly reasonable move, but his idea that he could have done it 20 years ago and had the same outcome is cope.

Maybe that's why explains him being a dumbass.

Bottom of education!

Just a thought.

What do you mean, "People like me"?

A man who has been gainfully employed since I was 14 years old?
A man who has paid for everything I have and have had myself without a handout?
A man who has been faithfully with the same woman for 35 years?
A man who has raised a happy family?
A man who is a law abiding citizen, proud of his country?
That kind of people?

Oh, by the way, I left some of my guns out after I cleaned them after a day at the range. Guess what? One week later and they were still where I left them and they had not escaped and committed any murders!

You sound desperate to convince yourself of something.

How about just enforce the "A well regulated militia" clause?
That's a sound idea, depending on how it was done. At that time the militia was every white male 21 or older. Seems like we'd need to redefine the militia at the same time.
Though that doesn't seem like it would address all of Steve's issues.

That would require strict licensing, training and registration right?

I would have made a very good living in almost any state. I moved here because I liked the area. No homeless people, no panhandlers, no gauntlet of day laborer's to run in the home depot parking lot, no trash on the streets, light traffic. I haven't locked my truck since the day I moved here. The neighbor kids regularly leave their bikes in the driveway all night and they're still there in the morning. The hardware store doesn't have anything locked up. People are polite and have no problem helping each other out. It's also an open carry state and I've never once seen anyone other than the police armed.
Compared to the bay area this place is paradise. I wish everyone could live so well.

I would assume so, and have no issue with that. Though I would add a background check, IQ test, and psychological examination to the requirements.
There are plenty of people running around armed that are simply to stupid to own a firearm. The same thing applies to driving a car or having a child, and that's the price we pay for having a reasonably free society.

Then killed himself. Sprayed bullets into the pews as children were attending mass after returning to school this week from summer break. Initial reports of at least 20 shot.


We need gun control in this country now. Ban semiautomatic rifles. No bump stocks, no tracer rounds, other bullshit accessories designed to increase killing efficiency. Universal registration system. Universal background checks.

We're failing our society if we don't.
We're failing as a society with a criminal in the White House. We're not going to get any gun control with him. It's only 9:48AM and I feel sick to my stomach.

I disagree, we will definitely get strong gun control under Trump. It's what fascists do. There will be carve outs for his base but never forget the modern gun control movement was started by Reagan with the NRA's support after scary negroes started open carrying at the California capitol building. I will say with 100% certainty he will disarm the people except for his death cult.

Certainly a possibility. Reference: the online portal to deputize fascists for the DC "crime emergency" (a potential template for other "crime emergencies"), this thread, and the original Nazis applying strict gun control on anyone who is not a Nazi.

Just like Challenger and JD Vance. They don't care how many kids die, it's part of the cult of gun worship. No amount of dead children is too many. Just another sacrifice for their death cult. It's disgusting.

You're not going to get gun control period if it isn't done through a national divorce!

Interesting that a lunatic tranny shoots a bunch of kids and it's the republican's fault.
There is one good thing to come out of this, the piece of shit that did it killed itself.

Oh, the Republicans who have both refused to do anything about gun violence and also refused to do anything about mental health? Those Republicans?
Eat shit and die, fascist prick.
