I believe in brining silliness into serious conversations. I feel the world needs more silliness. Anyway when my nephew was a young kid he was looking for some sporting goods online. He typed in *****.com. My sister, his mom, said he was very confused at what came up.....so to speak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) I read that Singapore has a very low crime rate. If you use a gun while committing a crime in Singapore, the punishment is automatic death penalty. That’s very interesting. When people talk about gun laws, perhaps the punishment for use needs to be stronger. Then again , , merely possessing a gun in Singapore gets you automatic caning.

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 The chairman of the Senate Banking Committee warned the banking industry on Thursday that it should not attempt to restrict legal gun sales by denying financial services to members of the gun industry. Sen. Mike Crapo (R., Idaho) sent a letter to eight of the country's biggest banks detailing his concerns with the way some of them had begun rejecting business from certain gun companies. In the last year, several of them have attempted to restrict what kinds of guns can be sold to the public and who they can be sold to by applying financial pressure. </snip>Link to article.

Chandemonium Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Will be interesting if this makes it to the supremes. If it does and it’s upheld, this ruling could spell the end of many states’ restrictive magazine laws. https://www.nraila.org/articles/20190329/breaking-federal-court-finds-california-magazine-ban-violates-the-second-amendment Edited April 1, 2019 by Chandemonium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 WASHINGTON — The National Rifle Association, the nation’s largest gun lobby, has settled on its next target on Capitol Hill: blocking Congress from reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, a 1994 law that assists victims of domestic and sexual violence. The House is set to vote on the legislation this week; the law expired in February. But the bill includes a new provision — aimed at curbing sexual violence by expanding law enforcement’s ability to strip domestic abusers of their guns — that the N.R.A. does not like. The measure closes the so-called boyfriend loophole by barring those convicted of abusing, assaulting or stalking a dating partner or those subject to a court restraining order from buying or owning firearms. Under current federal law, those convicted of domestic abuse can lose their guns if they are — or were formerly — married to their victim, live with their victim, have a child with their victim or are a parent or guardian of their victim. The proposed provision would extend those who can be convicted of domestic abuse to include stalkers and current or former boyfriends or dating partners. Jennifer Baker, a spokeswoman for the N.R.A., said that for “many of those ‘offenses’ — and I’m using air quotes here — the behavior that would qualify as a stalking offense is often not violent or threatening; it involves no personal contact whatsoever.” She argues that the new provision is “too broad and ripe for abuse.” https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/01/us/politics/nra-domestic-violence-congress.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage wife beaters are some of the NRAs best members I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not allowed to do financial planning (fee based fiduciary portfolios which are regulated by SEC not FINRA) to those in the marijuana industry. Seriously??

Tiberius Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Quote “The House passed legislation on Thursday reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) over objections from the National Rifle Association and Republicans who say it will restrict gun rights by preventing people convicted of stalking or abusing dating partners from buying a gun.” Some 33 Republicans voted with Democrats. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/437348-house-votes-to-reauthorize-violence-against-women-act-close-the-boyfriend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Almost exactly a year ago. It's not that I'm a genius (although I am). It's that progressives are so simple-mindedly stupid that it's easy to predict the results of their policies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but because England has strict gun laws it was only a box of knives and not a box of guns. Or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
