I think not having guns, especially like AR-15s, in the hands of maniacs, is a better one...Originally Posted by Mel Maki
"...having an armed guard didn't work."
So you think it is a bad idea?

Nobody is stopping them. Even at age 18, they walk in to gun store and walk out with an AR15..Originally Posted by Mel MakiNobody wants maniacs to have guns.

But he wants 18 year olds to have AR15s...Originally Posted by Mel Maki
The man that sold him the rifle also does not want maniacs to have guns.

I have to wonder if he "certainly" wants to have background checks to find out. Republicans in congress don't...Originally Posted by Mel MakiCertainly, but not maniacs.

I suppose that's why Hillary won the popular vote, because she was toxic to independents and Republicans? Huh?!Originally Posted by James Brown
Hi Jim:
We get the people we vote for and we get the people our parties nominate. Shame on "we the people." I blame the D's for Trump by the way. You guys nominated a candidate who was extremely well known to be toxic to independents and republicans. Also, the D mainstream press (CNN, NYT, ABC, NBC, CBS, WaPo) fought hard to ensure that Trump would be nominated. Would Rubio or Bush have beaten Clinton? We will never know.

Ah huh...Originally Posted by James Brown
Don't be pedantic and ridiculous Rod. I never said or implied she was toxic to all Rs and Is.
HRC lost because Trump won a few key battleground states. The EC is everything, as you know. This is not disputable. Why did Trump win these battlegrounds? In my opinion, because HRC was toxic to enough Rs to tip these states to Trump. A better D candidate would have won easily. A stray dog with a note in his mouth saying "elect me" could have beaten Trump!
Biden won the key battlegrounds four years later because he was able to attract more R and I votes in the key states. I suspect that 4 years of Trump had a lot to do with it too.
Oh, and lest I forget, this is my opinion! Maybe Trump's mean tweets were the key! Or maybe it was Russia! There, I think I have covered my opinion and the opinions of the wingnuts.

Coming back on topic, it should be noted Margi's ministrations are covered by mainstream media, so it's portion of the reporting that I read so I can stay informed and not me following her weekly tweets.Originally Posted by James Brown
Agreed of course. Why do you think the Trump MAGA movement has such traction? I think it is in part because the opinions of conservatives have been mocked, ignored, and belittled so long that the natural reaction is to fight back. Trump tapped into this sentiment.
Consider abortion. I personally respect the position of conservatives who believe as a matter of ethics, philosophy, or religion that human rights begin at conception. How would this fairly standard conservative position be received by the mainstream press, the entertainment world, or liberals like Rod? With derision is how. I am sure that the opposite is true on many issues, which leads to polarization. Polarization leads to Trump.
