Also, I suppose that is one take.
The fact that you can list every gun death in history with just 26 letters says all you need to know about people rationalizing ammosexual behavior.

Re: Gun Control
Last month a similar law was struck down in California as a violation of 2A. Not sure how this one is written differently to withstand a similar challenge, but perhaps they've figured out a better way to do it. I hope.The Associated Press @AP wrote: New Yorkers under age 21 will be prohibited from buying semiautomatic rifles under a new law signed Monday by Gov. Kathy Hochul, making the state one of the first to enact a major gun control initiative following a wave of deadly mass shootings. http://apne.ws/sB0haFI

Re: Gun Control
Senator Thune claims that in South Dakota, you need high capacity semi-automatic assault weapons to shoot prairie dogs. 1) Who shoots prairie dogs? I didn't know that was a thing. 2) WTF kind of mutant prairie dogs do they have in South Dakota that require multiple rounds from an assault weapon to put down?

Re: Gun Control
Maybe they just have really bad aim? Or it is some South Dakota sport we are not otherwise familiar with that involves guns and meth?raison de arizona wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 1:22 pm Senator Thune claims that in South Dakota, you need high capacity semi-automatic assault weapons to shoot prairie dogs. 1) Who shoots prairie dogs?

Re: Gun Control
I've seen prairie dogs in South Dakota in the last few years. They didn't seem that scary to me.

I'm on the lookout for a video of Matthew McConaughey's entire speech in one piece. It is visceral and moving. He is going to be crucified by the right for it, and he stood up anyway. Bless him. Here's a couple pieces.

Re: Gun Control
Found it. I'm honestly not a fan of him as an actor, but as a human he has stood up for gun control many times over the years and used his platform to spread the message. This is an incredibly moving speech.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Tue Jun 07, 2022 3:39 pm I'm on the lookout for a video of Matthew McConaughey's entire speech in one piece. It is visceral and moving.

Katie Porter was really taking it to some Heritage Foundation pro-gun lady. Multiple "how dare you's" and accusations of false testimony. Bet there will be clips.

Putting Stever Scalise out there was cute.
Republican House leaders urged their members on Tuesday to vote against a series of gun control bills that the Democrats plan to bring to a vote on Wednesday.
The GOP released a “whip notice,” according to reporting from Insider, urging a “no” vote on all eight bills, which the memo referred to as the “Unconstitutional Gun Restrictions Act.”
The House minority whip, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), and House GOP leadership claimed in the notice that the Democrats have “thrown together this reactionary package comprised of legislation that egregiously violates law-abiding citizens’ 2nd Amendment rights and hinders Americans’ ability to defend and protect themselves and their families.”
Scalise gave a press conference on Wednesday and raised eyebrows by comparing gun control efforts to the response after the 9-11 terror attacks and said, “there wasn’t a conversation about banning airplanes.”

Re: Gun Control
Yeah. There was a conversation about regulation to mitigate and eliminate the risks. We didn't throw up our hands and say, "Well, nothing can be done." I assume Scalise has flown both before and after 9-11, and has noted a few differences.AndyinPA wrote: ↑Wed Jun 08, 2022 4:40 pm https://www.mediaite.com/politics/house ... -congress/

Re: Gun Control
Good News; They finally caught a guy before he shot someone.
Bad News: This is the one they got before he killed anyone.

More common than you might think. Happened here this afternoon when a man shot his nephew then went to his sister's house and called the cops to tell them he did it.

I thought it was unusual that he called before he did it. I mean, if you change your mind, why not just go home and take a mulligan for that day?
