@MrAndyNgo Neely certainly has been a threat. But was the restraint technique that led to his death used legally? Are verbal threats equivalent to threats with a weapon? Let the court decide.
@Xander6527 @D753Joe @DonaldJTrumpJr I live in Chicago where guns are a scourge. It is not a left opinion. Just an urban one. Yet those who bother to legally have guns are not the ones committing gun crime.
@jrfordemocracy @RealAdamWard @D753Joe @DonaldJTrumpJr Correct. A middle ground is background checks and registering / licensing guns. In my state, you just can't carry a handgun without licensing.
@Xander6527 @D753Joe @DonaldJTrumpJr Other nations, many of them our allies, have stronger gun laws. Our 2nd amendment hasn't deterred attacks on our soil. Out military has. In Iraq, IEDs were often used - an insurgent weapon that would not be covered by our 2nd amendment.
@Xander6527 @D753Joe @DonaldJTrumpJr That's all they are: insurgent weapons. The US hasn't been invaded because we have a superior military. Not because of the 2nd amendment. So ordinary guns are for personal protection, sport and sometimes crime.
@jrfordemocracy @D753Joe @DonaldJTrumpJr Right, there are different ways to interpret the second amendment. Your post suggests a moderate approach to the realities that we live in today.
@AliMCollins @WessieHale @Fly_Sistah@VanLathan The trolls didn't cause you to lose your position, the voters did. Remember the vile statement you said about Asian Americans.
@D753Joe @DonaldJTrumpJr Fast forward more than 200 years. I cannot own a machine gun nor grenade launcher. Nor a tank. Yes, we cannot own modern military grade weapons today.
@ezraklein Very wrong with your idea that the poorly executed withdrawal was not the problem. Poor results have consequences. Exiting Afghanistan, on the other hand, has bipartisan support.
@EricLevitz Not at all. The media, correctly, is questioning the withdrawal strategy. Most Americans want out of Afghanistan. Four marines died today, by the way. Your articles are not aging well.
