I'll be interested to see what The Squad will say about it.

@Jauronimo - thanks for quote. I couldn't read the article due to paywall.

What did he say Ray Epps whispered in his ear before breaching the Capitol? I'm curious to know and did an internet search but could find it. Please share.

I could see another "assault rifle" ban passed by congress at some point. But how would "confiscation" work? House to house search? This is a NRA canard. And it works. They're going to take away our guns. Quick, go buy some more before they do. Works every time. Don't fall for it.

I did find it interesting last week when a private airplane flew over President Biden's house in Delaware jets were scrambled and the airplane was escorted to the ground. On September 11, 2001 4 jet liners were flying around off course for an hour and jets weren't scrambled In time or if they were they flew the wrong way.

Who is this guy? I watched the whole thing waiting to hear him explain why it was a dissident coup or whatever and he never did. He rambled on for 11 minutes about how it's not even up for discussion. Everybody says it is. If you don't think so its cuz you just watch movies and are uninformed.

Republicans are good at payback too. We have a majority Republican Supreme Court as payback for Senator Biden and Senator Kennedy and others for the Bork and Clarence Thomas hearings. Blows my mind that our President and several members of Congress (Mitch McConnell) were there for the Bork hearing. I remember that. It was a long freakin' time ago. We need term limits IMHO. I try to impose them in the ballot box but have not had much siuccess.

I think that doctor lady just likes to say "that little bitty penis".

This would give the D's real red meat they could really run with for the mid terms. He would be sucker punching his own party. But we're talkin' Trump here so anything's possible.

I agree. Would be great if we e enforced the laws we already have. Actually I'm not concerned about the wrong thing. I get aggravated at this vicious cycle whenever there is a mass shooting though cuz its so dumb. Its also the only time we talk about this stuff. Mass shootings such as in Buffalo account for only about 1% of all people killed by guns. My idea is to try to reduce the other 99% by stopping so many guns from getting into the hands of criminals which 300,000+ did in 2021. Good luck getting stop and frisk passed in today's political climate. Lock it up or get locked up.

Really? Paranoid much? I'm not trying to punish responsible gun owners such as yourself and @Chef Jim. I'm trying to punish negligent gun owners whose 300,000+ guns get stolen every year, many from cars and are thus immediately into the hands of bad guys/gals. Sure you have a right to own a gun, but with rights comes responsibility. Take personal responsibility for it. As far as your concern about poor people being able own a gun, I am more concerned about poor people being shot by stolen guns. Since 300,000 get reported stolen ever year, the word is not out. That's enough irresponsible gun owners to fill The Ralph 5 times. I can't swear to the legality of something like this cuz I'm not a lawyer, just a guy on a really good football team's forum. Where did you get your law degree btw? What is your solution on how to control gun theft in this country? I'm sick of every time a mass shooting happens its always the same "common sense gun legislation" ie background checks and red flag laws which we already have and are not helping. And then people think they're coming after their guns so they go buy more. It's a vicious cycle. So I'm trying to think of something else.

I don't think this is a very good analogy. I'll try one. Let's say the Bills finally win the Super Bowl and we all go to downtown Buffalo for the parade. And then there are a handful of Patriot fans who yell "its ours" and charge the float where the trophy is and take it. Are you gonna not do anything if a Bills fan yells "GET HIM" and a mob goes after 'em? You might. Mob mentality is a real thing. Note: I am not equating a stolen trophy with a stolen election. As far as I'm concerned it was legit. Just making an closer analogy. And of course "well, this guy said we should do it" is not a valid excuse. Nor would it be an excuse for a Bills fan bashing in a Patriot fans head with the trophy.

First off your argument about if a cop has his/her gun stolen and it kills someone reminds me of pro choice advocates argument about the life of the mother and I n c e s t. Edge cases that rarely happen. Here's what I'm talking about. 13,000 guns were stolen from cars in 271 cities studied in 2020. Here's what can happen: The person whose gun was stolen from an unlocked car should be at least partially responsible IMHO. A year in jail sounds good to me. Do you really think they should bear no responsibility? As @B-Man would say, read the whole thing. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/guns-are-stolen-cars-alarming-trend-nation-rcna26691 https://www.thetrace.org/2021/10/firearm-average-lifespan-how-many-lost-stolen-broken-guns/ 300,000+ stolen guns. according to the FBI. And that's only the reported ones. Tough penalties for people negligent about their firearm would cause some people at least to wise up if they knew a year in jail would result if their firearm is stolen and used in a crime. This would be a good way to keep guns out of the hands bad guys/gals. We all wanna do that, right? Take personal responsibility for your gun or else don't pick up the soap for a year.

Sounds like you are a responsible gun owner and should have nothing to worry about. And yes, you should be responsible for your guns period. Everyone needs to take personal responsibility for their own guns. Just curios. Why do you own guns? Hunting? Target practice? Obviously not for protecting your home since if someone breaks in or does a home invasion there is little to no chance you'll have time or opportunity to get to and open your gun safe bolted to the floor. But if you ever leave it out of the safe or leave it in your car and its gets stolen and used in a crime you should bear some responsibility and do some jail time IMHO. Keep it locked up like you do and you have nothing to worry about.

I'm all in on this. I've been thinking for a long time that if you buy a gun, you are responsible for it. If it is used in a crime or injures or kills someone you are responsible and do some jail time. If someone steals your gun out of your car and holds up a liquor store and shoots someone, you are responsible for paying for injuries and do some jail time. I would even go so far as to say if you have a gun you should have to have insurance to pay for the care of anyone that gets shot by it.

And it will mean one less woman makes the squad. Its kind of misogynistic if you think about it.

Not a good idea as it will probably result in dead Ukranians. An AR-15 is not an M-16 (of which I was a certified Marksman in the USMC) even though they look like they are. AR-15s heat up and jam up. That's why the Las Vegas shooter had 14 of 'em. Once one jammed he could go to the next one. The Parkland, Columbine, New Zealand, and San Diego Synagogue shooters AR-15s all jammed.

I fail to see the difference. He should be fired. He is a coach teaching young men basketball and setting an example how to be a man. That's his job. what is he teachng them? Be a sore loser and punch someone on the other team after you get beat? But that's cool as long as he didn't hit the other guy hard enough?

Makes ZERO sense.

This is an extremely naive and willfully ignorant statement. We dropped 7,000,000 tons of bombs on Viet Nam. 3 1/2 times the number of bombs we dropped in WW 2 and came nowhere close to winning anything. We were fighting the Viet Kong backed by, you guessed it, Russia. When we started dropping bombs they climbed down in their tunnels and smoked their dope. When it was over, they came back out and carried on. We couldn't even beat Iraq's army with Shock and Awe alone. And they didn't even have airplanes or a Navy. https://www.history.com/topics/vietnam-war/vietnam-war-history

That's what I want too.

My daughter gave me this album for Christmas. It recorded a few months before his death. It is super funky.

Perhaps Gard did put his hands on Howard first. Does that give Howard the right to punch Joe Krabbenhoft? Had he punched Gard, you may have a case.

He slugged the dude in the head. That's an assault. If it happened in a domestic disturbance he would be. Why do jocks get a pass on this type of thing? As to wether police and DA have more priorities is a fair point.
