The man Trump backed in Alabama lost. Heard somebody say Trump was overcome by Trumpism.

Your Classifieds search function has been broken for several days.

Whenever I search for anything I get the following error message:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e31' [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Query timeout expired D:WEBSITESASTROMARTCLASSIFIEDS../common/lib_utils.asp, line 449"

Any ETA on correction? Lacking historical Classifieds search capability really reduces the value of a Classifieds website. Thanks!

Ok, now I can say assault rifle without Richard pitching a fit. So, let me get this straight. It's legal to own a semi automatic weapon, it's legal to sell whatever it was he did to modify them into automatic weapons, but it's illegal to use such a weapon? And congress is now looking to deregulate silencers? Brilliant. I guess this is making America great again? Winning? Yeah-I'm really getting tired of all this winning.

Libs like me get beat up every time we go on here about the gun problem in the USA. Things such as taking a hard look at the second amendment - even re-writing it somehow, making it more difficult to get guns, banning certain kinds of weapons, background checks, cooling off periods etc. etc.... get blown away ( ) as being patently impossible, unconstitutional, Un-American and how could I even consider suggesting it.....and so on and so forth.

The very clear messages I get from just about every 'right minded' person here include: 1) that the 2nd permits you to have guns, so you are going to have guns. 2) that you need guns to defend property and loved ones from criminal attack. 3) that the citizens who own guns can use them to rise up against any future government tyranny. 4) no rule changes can possibly be made that criminals or deranged nutjobs will follow anyway...

It almost appears that you guys don't want to do anything at all about this problem.... Nothing. Clearly your position is that any step taken to reduce gun deaths will erode a freedom or infringe a right. And you currently seem to be giving much more weight to these freedoms and rights than to the lives of those who will be lost in the next 'mass shooting' (however that is defined). And there will be several large ones over the next while and hundreds of smaller ones (again, definition problems but let's ignore that for now....)....

So, I'm directly asking you guys here who are on the right, conservative, libertarian, strict original constitutionalist or any combination thereof, what specific steps should be taken to reduce the number of gun deaths in the USA?

Thanks for listening.

here in this forum but what Trump did yesterday is appalling. What the hell did bringing up Elizabeth Warren and the racial slur nickname he calls her have to do with three heros of WWII who greatly helped us to win the war. Does the man not have the decency to try to be human for 15 minutes while honoring these men?

[COLOR="Blue"] I wont dispute that it was in poor taste, nobody is perfect and certainly not Trump[/COLOR]

And he's now questioning that the Access Hollywood tape was maybe fake. He himself attributed it to locker room talk and now he now questioning what he actually said? Not that anyone in the GOP cares anyway. It's all about the SCOTUS and tax cuts for the rich so to hell with your morals. The grabber in chief can describe his presidency accurately by using his own words: "It's bad. Really bad."

[COLOR="Blue"] Water under the bridge regarding Access Hollywood lol....he is President, get over it As for the tax cuts that's a matter of opinion and claiming its only for the rich is ridiculous[/COLOR]

The fact that Alabama is probably going to elect an accused pedophile also says volumes as to where the conservative movement has descended.
