"Forgive my rudeness. I can not abide useless people."-- Unknown character in syfi pic Seem to find myself in too many situations where those words apply.
I'm tired of Republicans saying things like "If you want to ban AR-15's then why don't we ban cars since cars kill more people." Here's why this argument actually proves why we need more Gun Laws:
- Cars require a registration.
- Drivers need a license to use them.
- Drivers require insurance in case their car kills/injures someone.
- There are 100's of safety restrictions on cars before they are road-ready.
- A car user needs to pass a test to drive it.
- They also need to take a course in most states.
- There are dozens of restrictions based on age, health, etc.
- You can lose your right to drive a car if you don't use it properly.
- Cars are illegal to use when drunk.
I’m a strong gun-rights/2A defender. Some well-intentioned advice for those looking for solutions: Focus on what can be done BEFORE a gun is bought - better background checks, red flag laws, permitting & training. Most gun owners are with you on this. Don’t focus on banning guns.
You would think a former President of the United States would have attorneys lining up around the block to represent him.
The real ones. Not the ones that play lawyer on TV.
But here we are.
@nwbvt@WhiteHouse That’s great that they were designed that way but plans go out the window when met with reality. The program was very flawed and had a lot of waste and abuse. So much so that both parties supported legislation to investigate and claw back the fraud.
