Can’t argue with you about the hard drugs. I’m a proponent of legalizing medicinal marijuana.
As long as they’re not allowed to medicate on 240. I’m stinking sick and tired of that smell.

Marijuana has never been a hard drug.
Meth, coke, LSD, heroine, etc. are and are now decriminalized. The results haven't reflected what we're always told will happen if only we legalize everything.

It was an 2012 Obama era determination that the ATF was attempting to overturn. I agree with you that if the other side was still in control of house, the ATF ruling would not be challenged.
On a side note, a speaker mentioned shooters being under the influence of prescription drugs and wondered what could be done. Here’s my answer.
Strange how overdose deaths in Oregon increased 40% after they legalized hard drugs.

April has always been my favorite time to visit the park. Fall-like weather with half the crowd. Always check the car show schedule though.

Trump has never been my guy and I don’t want him to be the nominee in 2024, but anyone with a two digit IQ can see that his indictment is a blatant political witch hunt. The only thing unclear is whether the left is trying to jam him up so he can’t run or they are trying to fire up support for him to ensure he is the nominee because he is more beatable than others.

Asking about lost lives is implying I have a solution to gun violence?
No, but implying that lives can be saved by agreeing to the compromises grayfox opposes is.

I think you nailed how liberals think. They judge all cops by the actions of a few or all conservatives by the ideals they disagree with then demand everyone else be evaluated as individuals. It's intellectual laziness on their part is what it is.

1. If anyone had an answer we wouldn’t be revisiting this discussion after every mass shooting event. Don’t expect a solution from a retired civil servant. It’s above my pay grade!
You implied you knew of a solution with your response to grayfox. So I ask again, which of their proposals will save lives?

What’s more precious than a life saved?
Which gun control scheme will save lives?

Then I guess you also believe that a kid doesn't have to be told at home that a black man is bad. All one has to do is witness the actions of certain black men.

Well, ones a red flag law, and this isn’t that. We can provide details of what it is at a later time but it’s definitely not a red flag law it’s just a way to ensure that folks we think shouldn’t have access to guns and be prohibited from having them. But there will be due process, all the due process. The best due process you can have. But it’s not a red flag law. It isn’t even a bill yet.
Yeah I’m a bit skeptical too.

This video has serious "it's not a toll road, it's a choice road" vibes.
I post it here not to make a comment on Red Flag laws - we can do that elsewhere. Rather, I post it as an example of a representative who must just think his voters aren't that smart.
That's all.
I guess my question is what is the difference, if any, between Lee’s order of protection law and a red flag law.

It's almost like a person's upbringing factors into how they perceive the police.
Exactly, if the SRO tries to clown or joke around with kids and they refuse to participate because they are told “all cops are bad” at home, whose fault is that?

Your relationship with police is very different from kids growing up in the poorer parts of town. He’s officer friendly to those growing up in the suburbs. He’s the enemy to the boys in the hood. That’s another issue, well collection of issues, entirely. But it’s the way it is.
There are a few suburban kids who don’t consider him officer friendly.

Yes, I have, I have a nephew that is left leaning too far. Every time we get around each other I bring up the second amendment and try to educate him on it. At the beginning, he did not understand the gun show loophole. When I educated him on it, I could see the lightbulb go off go off on top of his head. However, his wife wants nothing to do with it. She is from the north I won’t say what state but, But she will not even talk to me about anything at all. I have talked to other left-leaning individuals. And like both sides we are stuck in our heads, that we’re right and they’re wrong. They issue with the left is they can’t leave well enough alone. I see the left is being miserable and wants everybody else miserable as well.
I’ve had numerous polite discussions with Democrats over the years about why I oppose something as harmless as universal background checks. It usually goes something like this:
them: Why are you against universal background check laws?
me: Because they are unenforceable. If I sell you a gun and we don’t tell anybody, how will that law be enforced? The only way to enforce it is by mandating universal gun registration.
them: why are you against that?
me: Because then the government will have a list of everybody’s guns
them: Why is that bad?
me: Because what I have is none of the government’s business. We have politicians who have said “we should do what New Zealand or Australia or whoever has done” and would use this new list to confiscate guns tomorrow if they could. Or establish some Red Flag law targets. Some are bloviating, but some are serious.
them: Come on, that’s crazy talk. Like that could really happen
me: It already has happened and is sometimes followed by mass murder. Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, Cuba, Cambodia, take your pick
them: Man I don’t think that sort of thing can happen here.
me: Neither did they.I don’t think I’ve converted any gun-grabbers, but I have gotten a couple Democrats to at least understand how one step hinges on the next There are a few open minded Democrats, but I don’t think the “average Democrat” is willing to listen to reasonable 2A supporters.

I didn’t say let’s not put cops in schools. I said that should be nothing more than a stop gap or bandaid. Actually, let’s do it today and call it a tourniquet. It’s the best solution right now but will cause a different harm if left too long.
I don’t see what harm they are doing, but I haven’t witnessed the “prison guard” analogy in action.

There are precautions we can take to minimize these risks but I’m not sure how I feel about police in schools. I understand that the world is different than my generation and those older than me grew up. But we didn’t have that. Children already think of schools as prison and uniform patrol is going to be the prison guards. I don’t believe that this is going to be healthy for our youths in the long term.
If we put Robocop or Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in schools and they terrorized children, I might agree with your concerns about SROs. But we don’t, at least not around here. The admittedly few SROs I know about or have experience with are actually fairly popular among students. They clown with the kids and get along well with faculty. Some schools even list their SROs as staff on the websites. My experience with them is mainly in suburban schools, but it would be a mistake to assume they are merely protectors and not enforcers. Suburban schools have many of the same problems as inner city schools.
8 hours ago, Capbyrd said:The strongest moves anyone could make right now would be to sit down at a bipartisan table and have honest discussions. Lay out the goals and begin to map a path to achieve those goals. We aren’t all going to get what we want. But we must all recognize that concessions we make at that table are for the betterment of our children and ultimately our society’s future.
If by “concessions” you mean compromises granted to more restrictive gun control proposals, I’ll pass. I’ll willingly consider any gun control proposal that passes a simple two step litmus test - first, will it actually help solve the issue? Second, are those proposing the change sincerely trying to solve the issue? Is their proposal merely one of the prongs in a bigger agenda? Have they actually educated themselves about what they are proposing? Do they want to take guns while hamstringing police? Do they also claim that NRA members are all terrorists? When politicians propose banning AR-15s because the Nashville shooter was “able to fire 152 rounds in 15 minutes” (something any of us could pull off with a single action revolver), I can’t take them very seriously. It’s a rare day when the latest proposed gun control laws pass my sniff test.

This may have already been discussed, but how are deer hunters or target shooters with long guns supposed to comply with this? I assume the bill's author has handguns in mind, but it says firearms.

It is all the Nation sees now, Johnson stepped out of the chamber at the end of her vote and told the newies she was kept because of race. So that is the fact now, true or not.
Is the driver of a get-away car judged guilty of murder if the robber he ferried kills the attendant of the Stop and Rob? She broke the House rules and I have been told she was the one who brought the bull horn into the chamber. She played the other two, all of us and got off, but relates it to race.Sexton said Johnson was pleading her case not to be expelled and argued that she did not use the bullhorn or lead chants like the other two did. Any truth to this that you know of? True or not, I wouldn't expect to read about this interesting detail on MSM.

Why does it look any more like racism than sexism? Is skin color all anyone sees?
Anyone who is curious about why the white lady was not also thrown out can do 30 seconds of research and conclude that she was apparently not as belligerent as the other two and picked up a few votes as a result. But rather than pay attention to any facts, racebaiters bend the story to fit their narrative. SSDD

Would the FBI consider the alleged report of Sexton, while tying the request to funding for upgrades to FedEx Forum, and requesting the Memphis mayor not restore Pearson to his former house position be considered extortion? Asking for a snitch, umm friend.
My understanding is that the county commission has the power to restore him, not the city mayor. If that is the case, I expect he will be back next week.

Tucker Carlson out at Fox News!!! (Current Events)
in General Chat
Posted
I’m not a Carlson follower and have no idea if he is a racist (he probably is because well, everybody is nowadays), but I doubt he would get along with the Russians. I would enjoy seeing him host the View, however.
