    This x1000. Trump is and always has been an ardent supporter of our 2nd amendment hunting rights. Who cares about some gimmick accessory, that has no legitimate hunting use?

    Bump stocks have been proven to be incredibly dangerous, capable of killing many people very quickly. Obviously, no responsible hunter would ever use this accessory to hunt deer, so it makes total sense to have it banned.
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    I don't want a broken finger but if it takes a broken finger to avoid a broken leg I prefer the broken finger.

    I'm kinda funny that way.

    If someone is trying to break your finger (or your leg) you shouldn't just stand there and take it, you should be doing something about it. Like calling the police.

    Where did you get your PHD in economics from? UCLA like Walter Williams? Harvard? Chicago?

    All budgets are balanced at the federal level. It is just a matter of how the bill is paid. Spending is what matters because spending is what diverts resources away from the private economy.

    2016: If you want to avoid a broken leg you'll have to let us break your index finger.

    2018: If you want to avoid a broken leg you'll have to let us break your other index finger.

    The point is, I don’t want Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein or Chuck Schumer running things. The balance of power in Congress is very delicate. The appointment of good judges is vital. I have 5 grandkids. I want them to experience a life where they have some liberty, and I want them to know I did what I could to advocate for their liberty.

    Yes, do you understand the difference between a bumpstock ban and a semi-auto ban?
    There is no difference.

    Any law against the 2nd Amendment is against freedom & what & why the 2nd Amendment was put into place. It is the very core of protecting the people.

    From Chuck Baldwin:

    It is time for the American people to forget about which party controls Congress and who is in the White House and start standing en masse for the Constitution and Bill of Rights—and against ANY new gun control laws—or the Second Amendment (and the rest of our liberties) will soon be toast.

    As I said: THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF TOTALITARIAN GOVERNMENT.

    If both candidates are bad enough there might be a reason to not vote or to make a protest vote for a candidate that can't win or isn't even running (I have done that before) but that isn't the case most of the time, in most cases these days there is a significant difference and it is almost as bad to refrain from voting for the less bad choice as it is to vote for the worse choice.

    Because once the Republicans gain control of Congress and the White House:




    - the budget will be balanced and the deficit will be reduced

    - the national debt will start to be paid down

    - anti-gun laws will be repealed

    - abortion will be outlawed

    - the government will get completely out of healthcare

    - corporate and personal welfare will be eliminated




    If the Democrats keep control of the government then none of these things will happen. We can only count on any of this happening if the Republicans are running the show. So get out there and do your part!
    Excellent.

    Just one minor omission, "Lock her up" fulfillment seems to have been missed accidentally from the promise list.

    Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

    You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you. If I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

    One takes an insignificant bite out of the 2ndA and the other takes a huge chunk away, the precedent of breaking the 2ndA was set long ago and hasn't been rectified so you can't claim a threshold is being crossed.
