    That's not an argument against what I said. At all. Not even close.


    What about the states are now doing it part?
    The states are Trump? I don't think he had any influence in that, even if he said it one time. The states will state. The legislation came out of the Florida school shooting.

He was young and I am sure spending some time in jail probably did make him think about what he was doing. I think Adam is smart and has a big heart but, he needs to clean up his image a lot if he wants to get elected into office. I like John McAfee and have talked to him but his image would never be taken seriously on the national stage. But I loved the video he did on how to uninstall McAfee anti-virus

    So messed up? Let me ask you a question, would you rather live in South Korea or North Korea? I'd never want to live under a regime that is controlled by the Chinese, and that's what that is. Not only that, its basically our fault, because they are using Venezuala as economic warfare against us, they are just stuck in the middle between two psychopathic banking systems that don't give a $#@! about them and the regime that is in control right now is being propped up by the Chinese and people are starving and having to eat their pets, not because of socialism but because their corrupt regime is selling their country out for protection from China. The average person has lost like 40 lbs in the last two years and these aren't fat americans or anything like that.

    I'm glad that you agree. My observation lately has been that many here do not know that. You can tell by the way they regurgitate Limbaugh lingo, like when they say someone has TDS, or when they talk about Democrats as if Republicans are much better as a rule.

    A good experiment would be for Trump to say stuff in one hand and take a dump in the other hand and see which one fills up first.

    The bump stock ban is designed to derail the democrats talking point, its a piece of $#@! that is not even necessary and not even effective, its designed to shut people up when they cry to him about gun violence.

    Whatever your reasoning, it is wrong.

    Not only is the 2nd Amendment violated, that little stunt also mucked with a Free Market system by putting those companies out of business, laying off productive workers, and restricting MY right to purchase/not purchase whatever I want. This is the unintended consequence that slowly deteriorates our rights, when "republicans" give such "passes".

    I did not suggest that. I merely pointed out how our rights are vanishing before our very eyes and people after over a hundred years CONTINUE to make "rationalized" excuses for it, and even welcome it.

    The 2nd was violated. The Free Market was mucked with. It put employers and employees out of business. My right to own/purchase whatever the widget rests in the hands of government.

    He also said: "I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record." (From Trump's book The America You Deserve.)

    He also was the first president ever to ban a gun accessory by executive order.

    He also implied that he would support Diane Feinstein's assault weapons ban. (See: https://www.latimes.com/politics/ess...htmlstory.html)

    Barack Obama said he wasn't going to try to take away your guns. And, to be honest, he made fewer gun grabbing moves than Trump has. Obama even signed executive orders rescinding gun control measures by Ronald Reagan. (See: https://www.thoughtco.com/obama-gun-...ngress-3367595)

    And no, I'm not a fan of Obama. I consider both he and Trump to be gun grabbers. I could care less what a politician says. I care what he does. What kind of guns does Trump support law abiding citizens to have? I was listening to Patriot radio and I heard a Trump supporter call in complaining about Kristen Gillibrandt's recent attack on the second amendment (apparently Kristen is either so stupid as to not know that Trump did the bumpfire stock ban or too dishonest to admit it) and the caller lit into Gillibrandt, but then went on to say that she, the "conservative call" supported "reasonable" gun control like banning assault rifles. (Hmmmm...sounds like Trump.)

    Trump's bumpfire stock ban sets a dangerous precedent. A future president could ban other gun accessories by executive order. Consider this. You can bump fire using a belt loop or a rubber band. So how can you really prevent something like the Las Vegas shooting? Why you have to ban high capacity magazines. (That is if you think banning gun accessories is the solution as Trump apparently does). And banning high capacity magazines won't solve the "problem" because they can easily be 3D printed. So you have to ban civilian ownership of guns that can take magazines. There ya go. Assault weapons ban by stealth. Something Trump said he wanted anyway.

    The bumpfire ban opens the door for a full assault weapons ban by executive order. Trump said that's what he wanted in 2002 and again in 2018. (Assault weapons ban).

    You' are just as bad as the $#@!ing Bernie Sanders people who are calling for socialism for all because corporations get it. Well I guess since we already have socialism we should expand it, well I guess since we already have gun control we should vote for someone who wants to take the guns.

    Gun Control Tulsi has a consistent record of advocating for sensible gun control.

    Tulsi has a consistent record of advocating for sensible gun control. She has long called for reinstating a federal ban on military-style assault weapons and high capacity magazines, requiring comprehensive pre-purchase background checks, closing the gun-show loophole, and making sure that terrorists are not allowed to buy guns. Tulsi has an F-rating from the NRA, a 0% rating

    This! A THOUSAND times this! Trump has destroyed the liberty movement. You can't even criticize Trump's gun grabbing without some idiots twisting that into you supporting gun control. WTF? Really? What's next? Trump signs an executive order for abortion funding and Trump supporters say "That's just to take away a democratic talking point?" Face scanning cameras at the airport. That's okay cause "them dems are bad." Seriously, why didn't we all just back John McCain and Mitt Romney then?

    I didn't back anyone who I thought would lose, I didn't even back Trump because I thought he would lose. Whats the point of wasting energy backing someone if they aren't going to win or they aren't advocating for political posistions you hold?

    Trump has done everything you say Tulsi has done. And the NRA sucks. They wouldn't stand up for a concealed carry permit holder who was gunned down for no good reason by an out of control cop based on the lame excuse that he smelled weed. That dumbass cop should have known if the driver of the car announces to you that he has a carry permit that most likely means he does NOT intend to shoot you! To hell with the NRA. They are the reason we have background checks and other "reasonable" gun control.

    I spent all my energy saying that we should put someone up against Hillary because I didn't want her to win to the point where I thought Trump would lose and spent all my energy advocating for a better candidate because I thought backing Trump was the same as backing Hillary if he was going to lose.

    Barack Obama said he wasn't going to try to take away your guns. And, to be honest, he made fewer gun grabbing moves than Trump has. Obama even signed executive orders rescinding gun control measures by Ronald Reagan. (See: https://www.thoughtco.com/obama-gun-...ngress-3367595)

    And no, I'm not a fan of Obama. I consider both he and Trump to be gun grabbers. I could care less what a politician says. I care what he does. What kind of guns does Trump support law abiding citizens to have? I was listening to Patriot radio and I heard a Trump supporter call in complaining about Kristen Gillibrandt's recent attack on the second amendment (apparently Kristen is either so stupid as to not know that Trump did the bumpfire stock ban or too dishonest to admit it) and the caller lit into Gillibrandt, but then went on to say that she, the "conservative call" supported "reasonable" gun control like banning assault rifles. (Hmmmm...sounds like Trump.)

    Trump's bumpfire stock ban sets a dangerous precedent. A future president could ban other gun accessories by executive order. Consider this. You can bump fire using a belt loop or a rubber band. So how can you really prevent something like the Las Vegas shooting? Why you have to ban high capacity magazines. (That is if you think banning gun accessories is the solution as Trump apparently does). And banning high capacity magazines won't solve the "problem" because they can easily be 3D printed. So you have to ban civilian ownership of guns that can take magazines. There ya go. Assault weapons ban by stealth. Something Trump said he wanted anyway.
    Some people say this is Trump trying to save gun owners money by avoiding bump stocks. But more importantly than that, this move will allow future presidents to ban other accessories and the one that comes to mind is the high capacity mags. This is why Tulsi doesn't really scare me. The republicans are just as harmful to the 2nd amendment as the democrats.
