You might as well cite Lou Dobbs or Geraldo Rivera from Fox News as your unbiased sources for expert witness summaries of fake bombs based on fake news. Talk about misinformation...

Yes, you both are. Just like the Jews in 1938.

But if that’s the best you can, then fine. I will take that as a compliment.

The only thing I've advocated is outlawing, as allowed under the current law as set forth by the Supreme Court, AR-15's. You don't have a right to own one if Congress would lawfully outlaw them because an AR-15 simply isn't a common weapon used in the home for self defense. Only those types of weapons can not be banned according to the court's ruling, as it found controls on specialized weapons like AR-15's are permissible because they don't fall in that category. The court didn't find all controls of guns unconstitutional, only those as defined in the opinion, and those were pistols.

That's the problem with those who don't actually understand what the law is in regard to what their rights actually are. You begin thinking you have a right you don't even have and fear it may be taken away from you based on what you read or hear on some forum or website. Your actual right is whatever the Supreme Court says it is.

But please tell me if there is some other right I have advocated that would in some way take away your rights besides this issue. If so, I was not aware of it and perhaps there was some misunderstanding.

And I do worry about my own rights. I worry about my ability to elect the person of my choice because of the unlimited money and undisclosed sponsors of candidates that is now allowed that can put and keep one party in control. I worry about the party in control rigging the voting system to deter voters they think won't support them. I worry about Republicans cutting social security and medicare that I've paid for forty years now that the deficit has mushroomed after Republicans cut taxes for the top 1% and corporations-as McConnell has suggested was needed just last week. I worry about our crumbling infrastructure and no money or the will to collect taxes to pay for improving it. I worry about the need to always be at war with someone, somewhere. I worry about crime in the cites where there is little hope for those trapped in poverty to ever escape. I worry about health care although the cost now that I turned 65 is 1/10th it was before the ACA, and 1/5th after (which I paid for out of my pocket for my entire life with no help from anyone). I worry about the  stock market crashing taking down my retirement along with it. I worry about the out of control deficit (which started with Bush and continues through today). And I worry about the guy who has no morals or decency and appears to be bordering on insanity who has the power, subject to no one's veto, to launch a nuclear strike. That one is the one I worry about most of all.

These are the things that should worry us all.
