You just said it. There Is 2 causes of gun violence and neither one of them are a gun. Why would you take the gun? Maybe it's not for our government, what if China decides they want to take over when they realize we're never going to pay them back. Now granted I will give you, I don't think there's any 2 countries in the world that could beat us, but Hey you never know. They have a standing army of over million people, ours is 300000 on a good day. That being said there's 330 million people in this country in the majority on guns, that beats a million man army every day. Or what if they're just fun to shoot, that's OK because that's my right granted to me by the Constitution.

I agreed with you until the last few sentences. I'm not one of those people, we can address health care all day long, just because I don't believe in raising taxes for everyone for some convoluted plan that isn't going to work, does not mean I don't believe in health care reform. I believe there are many ways to do it without having to do that. As far as both parents having to work, you're absolutely right there. I am certainly for a living wage, I have also said several times over that I believe every job in this country should be unionized. I'm not saying that so that way everybody here can see how woke I am saying it because I truly believe that that would drastically change with the outlook of our country looks like. There would be more time at home with parents, now hopefully these parents are engaged, but under ideal circumstances we will be able to raise better kids, we would be able to have kids around their parents enough to know that they're there for them. We would have parents who would know there something wrong with their child. These are things I absolutely believe in. Any amount of money you wanna spend on repairing the American Family, spend it. I would donate 90% of my wealth if it meant the American Family were repaired. Now I'm not that rich, but I would certainly be all for the government taxing people like me and who make more than me over 90% of our wealth to repair the American Family. Well to a point, the US government has proven that throwing money at something doesn't really work Look at the war on poverty. In simple terms you would think it would work. These people have no money, let's throw more money at them. And yet poverty has risen. Although in principle I would be for a tax for the American family. That is the one thing in my life I could not live without. If we recognize we have a mental health problem, why do we lash out and decide to take guns from millions of people? It doesn't make any sense. There are some gun control measures I'm all for. If you wanna have universal background checks, all for it, you wanna have the gun show loophole closed, all for it, you wanna have a centralized database for people who have mental health issues or felony records, all for it. That being said, for law abiding citizens who have no mental health issues, there is absolutely no reason I shouldn't be able to own 1 because 3 or 4 assholes in this country don't know how to behave per year.

Definitely not, but fighting for a right given to me by the Constitution, that men have find I had for, counts for something. I'm not going to sit idly by and just give up my guns for no reason, especially considering less than 500 people die in mass shootings and your talking about taking away "assault" rifles from millions. If the people of France when a fold their right so easily, let him. That has literally nothing to do with me, and I don't give a damn about their politics. Interesting thing though because they care a lot about ours. And maybe where you're from there's a lot of pussies, but where I grew up there wasn't.

I said is it is today, history has nothing to do with the present time period I probably could not have made that statement 30 years ago, maybe about France but certainly not Germany. That said and the modern day I feel completely comfortable making that statement.

Will the question was posed what's more hardcore than they get a team that America's ever done, so naturally the atomic bomb came to mind. I was only have serious about maintaining a democracy and France, I'm in we certainly held, but it's not likely liberated them. They were getting their a** kicked and we certainly expedited the process of them returning to life is normal, but we didn't do it for altruistic reasons either. It's not like we were bringing freedom, we got hid, so he said we're gonna hit back, hard. And we did, 90000 people died when we drop the atomic bombs and that is they conservative estimate and, the French revolution and reign of terror killed 40000. At least that's the generally accepted numbers for both.

We are not those countries. No matter how much you would like the US to be were not, nor will we ever be. And making assault weapons harder to acquire, versus banning them is something completely different. And can you please tell me how I'm not entitled to have them because of the 2nd amendment?

How is that even remotely trolling? The atomic bomb was not as hard core? It is also a historical fact that France was getting smacked down and World War II, and regardless of what people say it was American intervention that turn the tide of the war, and really it was the atomic bomb that ended it. What would have happened had we not done that?

I can't tell you exactly why they look down on us if I'm being honest. However, I do know that every time they get a chance to run their Yap it's always about how, "well in our country we had 1 mass shooting and we shut it down for everyone." Look at us we're so enlightened, you poor neanderthals will never figure it out. Numerically speaking mass shootings really on a problem in this country. Are they terrible, absolutely. Is it something that happens every day like we're led to believe common were scared into repeating? No. They're not. The worst year for mass shootings on record was 2016, 432 people died in a mass shooting that year. There are 330 million people in this country alone, do you know what that math works out to? .000000129% Of the population. Would you support prohibition? 80000 people a year die from alcohol related incidents. That means in this country you are a 188% more likely to die from alcohol then an assault style weapon, even though that's not really a thing. 188%. Why don't we start banning alcohol? Is it because it's a giant government over reach into our private lives, to take away something we enjoy? Of course it is. As a general rule people find alcohol more enjoyable than guns, I do not. I don't need an assault rifle with a 100 round capacity magazine, even though that really really wouldn't be a magazine that would be more of a drum, but either way that's neither here nor there. The Point is I may not need one, but I'm constitutionally guaranteed the right to own one, and I nor anyone else should have my rights trampled on because 426 people die in a mass shooting in 1 year. Especially if the people who are banning it enjoy alcohol considering that kills far more people. You cannot nerf the world, bad things are going to happen to good people. They're going to happen to kids, they're going to happen to loved ones, and these are all terrible things. I'm not standing here advocating for mass shootings, I am saying don't take away my rights without due process when I have done nothing to deserve it. You can't really call an executive order due process, but if you choose to go that route, what stops an executive order from reenacting prohibition? When you start manipulating the Constitution like that you open yourself up for a can of worms. Now I'm not going to change your mind, I am aware of this. You probably have rebuttal after rebuttal of why people like me should have our rights trampled on. That being said, I don't think most people look at it from the other point of view, I certainly don't think they put it into context of exactly the size of the problem we're dealing with here. It is very small. That's not even getting into the overwhelming black market that we would create. You remember the war on drugs? How many drugs that that stop from entering the country? In an age where machine is can order parts off of Amazon, we can 3-D print, and inmates can make guns in prison do you really think we're not going to figure out a way to get them anyway? Mark my words, more people will die from an assault rifle ban then will be saved by them.

The atomic bomb says hello. We dropped that so everyone else can have democracy. You're welcome France.

And there's no way you're ever going to convince me that we should be some puss a** country like France, Germany, Canada,or any of those other countries who like to look down their nose at us because we won our independence like men, it wasn't handed to us by some divine intervention of sovereignty through a Royal bloodline. They can suck it as far as I'm concerned.

So should we ban halter tops since they cause rape? That makes about as much sense as saying guns get-up-and-go shoot people by themselves. If you're going to say clothes aren't a contributing factor to rape, it's all on the rapist, then extend that same courtesy to guns. It's a hypocritical argument. For some reason after a mass shooting we talk so very little about the shooter, but we're so intrested in banning his guns that he used to period from all the mass shootings that I know about I've got 2 weapons that are very similar to ones used in mass shootings, care to guess the kill count on either of those? Exactly, 0. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Halter tops don't rape women, rapist rape women.

Money is absolutely the reason. They would keep increasing it until the law of diminishing marginal returns kicked in. The problem is they can't do it by themselves, players have to agree. It's not like the NFL can go in there and say 50 games com I get ready for it. OR they would.

Why does Yang have to be a gun grabber? He was doing so well and was an easy second next to Tulsi.

I don't get me wrong come I'm not saying this is definitively happening. I am saying this is theory. It just doesn't make sense to me that I would not even get a phone call. Especially considering that Gabbard campaign has more information about me than 99% of telemarketers. I just figure somebody would be giving me a call right now considering I've been on this campaign donation thing for months come up in a part of their mailing list for the same amount of time com'n not one phone call. It just seems strange.

That is my suspicion. I think they're manipulating poll numbers by deciding where pollsters call. I live an absolute liberal mecca, and I have donated to tulsi com I've put myself on polling lists, and I have had not one call about tulsi. They're doing something to manipulate it, or at least that's my theory. I have no proof.

It amazes me how surprised you are by these things.

Warren would get wrecked by Trump. His Pocahontas schtick would stick, and she did cheat to get into college by trying to take advantage of minority status. Which the minority things is bullshit anyway but it will carry weight and she really has no o ideas or strategies Trump hasn't seen and beaten already.

Yeah I mean Sean is a conspiracy but, always has been. I was more saying not throwing their weight behind him is sort of rigging is it not? We are supposed to decide candidates not them right? It just seems they know ok w who they want to win and fuck the rest so why vote in the primary's?

Is it though? I mean aren't we the people supposed to decide who we want not a corrupt institution like the DNC? I just thought our opinion was supposed to count. I'm not surprised that is a lie though.

So our new EPA people have decided we can use cyanide bombs to kill wildlife again. Hooray....

My answer hasn't changed since a dozen posts ago. He is a coward, always has been. And Hillary offs lackeys who find out how corrupt she is or tech nerds with dirt. Not people who run for president or Obama would have never got a second term, although the evil bitch probably thought about it.

I dont think he is afraid of getting hit with the sexist card. I just think he is afraid. That said any man in this country is obviously sexist...?

Yeah I love his podcast because he talks to EVERYONE. He has Shapiro on, Tulsi, Peterson, Bernie, and a few other political commentators. He has scientists from damn near every discipline, journalists, historians, skeptics, drug advocates, actors, rockstars and just about anything else you could be interested in. He is also probably the best interviewer I've ever heard. He was questions come up but then he lets you answer. It is so rare, I don't even know if there's anything else quite like it out there. Honestly any and all candidates out there that are running for president would do themselves a favor to get on the show. Not even 2 days ago I absolutely hated Bernie Sanders com I thought he was an idiot and a coward. Now I just think hes a coward. Having people on to have a long form discussion about their policies is really the only way you can make an informed decision in my opinion. With all of the media bias out there, and all of the campaign speak that so many of these people have, just having them sit down and explain their points goes a long way. I was a fan of Tulsi before, but after her 1st and 2nd Podcast I couldn't be a bigger fan.

I still dont want him as president and I dont think he was anymore original in his solutions other tha, "Taxes, we need more taxes. We are the only developed ones who dont do this or that." Well I dont want to be like those countries or I would live in those countries. I have visited several and they great for 2 or 3 weeks but then it's time to leave. That said he came across as a tad more realistic and sensible than usual.

That alt right guy Joe Rogan just had Bernie on his podcast.
