My point is that the logical syllogism implied by John Thomas8's post, to wit, Is that the implication? I read it as a response specifically to the idea that gun ownership is 'nothing but pain', an extreme statement which I can understand but kinda ignores the millions of people who own guns in the...

Is Dominion a publicly traded company (stock)? I might want to buy in. :lol: Dominion Voting Services is a wholly-owned subsidiary of US Dominion, Inc., which is privately-held. A lot of dark insinuations about "secret ownership" were at the heart of claims about Venezuela or whoever want...

My point is that the logical syllogism implied by John Thomas8's post, to wit, Premise 1: Millions of people own ARs Premise 2: Lots of people who own ARs don't hurt anyone with them Ergo : ARs are entirely safe and should not be regulated or restricted in any way is entirely false. My counterexampl...

It was at the end of one of these perfectly reasonable responses, in this case to a man who was insisting the Supreme Court’s Marbury v. Madison ruling gives all Americans the right to ignore laws they don’t like , that Reams called state Rep. Leslie Herod (D-Denver) a “terrorist.” I did a double-t...

You know where I'm going. The 2nd Amendment in modern times brings nothing but PAIN. I disagree. Millions of ARs owned by millions of owners have shot no one at all, and will never do so. Are you serious? The "everybody's doing it" defense? Millions of people drive their car without a sea...

There is simply no reason for high-capacity magazines other than to kill people. People? No, come on bro, deer can run fast -- sometimes takes many shots to bring them down. /s Having just gotten my car back from the shop and almost four grand worth of repairs (thank heavens for comprehensive insur...

AR-15 with 30 round magazine mostly used
But also an AR-10.

Effectively the same gun in a different caliber (7.62 instead of 5.56).

Also, the second rifle in Mr. Brolin's post isn't a 1903 Springfield. It's a Lee-Enfield. Same difference, but still. I should know better.

Mr. Brolin: When is the last time you heard about someone robbing a store or murdering dozens with 1903 Springfield? I suspect we all know the answer to that question. And I don't give a shit about features or appearances. Exactly one component of a semi-automatic weapon is entirely responsible for...

Any state-imposed penalty, from a parking ticket to lethal injection has multiple purposes. 1) Convince the perpetrator of the error of his ways, and deter him from re-offending. 2) Serve as an example and deter others from committing the same offense. 3) Satisfy the victims natural desire for reve...

Being called a "low-life" by a piece of human garbage like Jason Miller is a badge of honor. I'm not Swalwell's biggest fan (short version: too much style, not enough substance), but he should be proud of that.

Still, it will eventually lead to an event that snaps the country to finally react, and sudden reactions to traumatic events as often as not lead to unintended consequences. The longer its allowed to continue, the crazier its gonna be when we decide to do something. Probably something stupid. After...

What Maybenaut said. Also, it really doesn't help that a lot of death penalty advocates are really not all that shy about saying "Yeah, I'm fine with a system where some percentage of people we execute are factually innocent." That cavalier, "kill them all and let God sort them out&qu...

You're confusing the order of events, in regards of the wonderful human being that is Jason Miller. He was married and banging the stripper on the side. Stripper gets in the family way, Jason wants her to get an abortion. Stripper wants the baby, maybe she's Catholic, who knows? Jason gets her drun...

I cannot be bothered to look him up, so I'm assuming that Mark Victor Hansen is Victor Davis Hansen's somehow crazier and more-obscure brother?

I had a layman with whom I generally get along try to pitch me on an argument that the Controlled Substances Act is unconstitutional yesterday.

In the words of my generation: "Big oof."

I'm WFH today, and I need something in the background while I pour over documents, so I decided to buckle up and watch HBO's Q: Into the Storm. Wish me luck!

There's also no way that the Apple or Android app stores would host a Trump social media app in the wake of January 6. A social media site that isn't available on those two app stores isn't going to get off the ground any more than a 757 with no working engines. (See what I did there?)

Somehow, I don't think the judge in Michigan that's hearing arguments about whether to sanction Powell is going to be amused by this argument.

I've never seen him as a bright man. I'm surprised he's still House Minority Leader. The only other member of the House GOP caucus with enough support to get the job appears to be certified crazy person Jim/Gym Jordan. Republican voters' prejudice against intelligent and sane people are driving all...

He did call into Fox earlier this week.
