Agree to disagree on what should and should not be banned. The logic of banning, once extended fails, which tells us the logic is flawed. The inclination to "ban" is more than lazy. Once you sacrifice your liberties you are not likely to get them back. Now, if you think sacrificing liberty now and taking away the rights of millions of good people is the solution, you are mistaken. This lazy approach to problems only results in people like YOU feeling good, for now, and then later, not so much. My problem with people like you is that too many people have to first be harmed for you to later change your mistakes.

Hey, stop messing with my game! I was actually going to use that later,,,,,dammmbit...

Outstanding. Not sure the last time you demonstrated a modicum of understanding, but this really good. Great job! Now, lets assume, for a moment, that you ban assault weapons, just those for now. Might you suggest what would happen next? Anything?

I will not have all the answers, but I am suggesting some starting points. And I think it will likely be true that the tactics and strategy will have to continually evolve; there will be active opposition in play. I think there is a deference to immigrants right now where the pendulum has swung pretty far left, and that is why we see them being allowed here to continue their criminality, and then set free to perform even more criminality. I do not think bad cops are our concern, I think they exist, but in such small numbers that they are mostly irrelevant. The kids are citizens, all good, the parents that created this situation through their illegal activity will have to resolve the situation they created. If YOU have kids, and do something illegal and are convicted, they might be taking those kids away, this is how it works.m thunk t So....come here illegally? Think your kids can be used to flout the law? Nope. Ensuring migrants also know this is also a great way to make them think twice. We cannot simply close the border, we have to remove the motivation to come here.

Yes, you would not be alone. But if I am inserting, I will take all of this into consideration. I actually prefer the shotgun in most cases. When we were clearing trenches and bunkers it was rather useful.

Absofockinglutely. Release that sh!t. I am SICK AND TIRED of politicians being protected by the bureaucracy. Go back to my postings for years. I want....ALL OF THEM.....held to account. I have always said this. You have to stop thinking about me in the way YOU think about these situations. We do not think the same.

Are they? What is your proof? Or are you assuming that is true? Start with this, think about it not in terms of what some random liberal moron has told you what to think, but instead think for yourself. Does your logic work in all instances? And if that is true, are you then suggesting we should not worry about knives? Why?

It might depend on that urban area as well. There could be some deference to a shotgun, but what if you have long avenues of approach to your area of operation, well, then you might want something that can hit distance shots as well.

I read your opinion, not "evidence". I disagree with your opinion. Nothing wrong with disagreeing on something.

We have to start somewhere, just going out randomly with no confinement on pursuit is too broad, I prefer to narrow where possible. I think ICE should take the lead. The problem will be certain localities. I do wonder, and have some concern about, what happens if there is a standoff between ICE and local law enforcement. We have already observed the deference to criminals in some localities, as well as some local elected officials indicating they will not cooperate. So what happens when ICE tries to apprehend rapists and murderers enjoying the protections of local Democrat politicians? This to me seems dangerous.

Incorrect. As those on the right have clearly outlined, legal immigration is supported, illegal is not. This lie that it is "ethnicity" is simple not going to work anymore. We are done with it. You can trot it out and try that one to your hearts content. So, either come up with a way to debate it on the merits, and end the identity politics nonsense, or continue to watch your ideological opponents secure power, denying you access to ANY of your platform desires. Up to you.

Right, not knowing is a common theme with you. Your uninformed positions are reliably wrong.

You will have to explain your point, I am not observing what you appear to be suggesting, an frankly, am not entirely sure what your suggestion is here...

If you prefer to be childish, that's on you. I was hoping for more here, but alas, you fall back into childish antics. As to the health of the Republican party, I am rather satisfied with it. Holding the House, Senate, SCOTUS and White House is healthy enough for me. I submit, as do most of those responding to their behavior, that they is a self-serving action on their part. They used the lies, and I do beleive they knew these things were lies, to generate viewers, now they want to save themselves as they writing is on the wall. There are positions the Turks hold that I agree with and things I do not agree with, this is also true for Trump. I posted the video in response to your calling out of this position as being on the right, when in fact its a position clearly being shared by more than those on "the right". It would seem that it will not matter from where the logic arises, you will simply oppose it out of hand, all good. But you should know that its time to stop that.

Awww, well, thanks sport. Hey, by the way, which assault rifle would you prefer for urban insertion and clearing, asking for a firend.

Lefties then : The laptop is Russian propaganda, its not real. Lefties today; Someone accused someone else, burn him! Yeah, we know how you all roll. Don't expect us to get all excited when you trot out the tired all "lets find a way to ding someone and take them down" tactic. We have seen this move, unimpressed.

I think we probably have common ground on "criminals" with some potential nuance. I look at the surge after Biden tool office and I see those migrants as already knowing very well that they were doing something illegal, they have no excuses and should be high on the list. JMHO IF they have children, they can either take them along or leave them behind as they choose. Using children as a hedge for their illegal activity wont work here. I wont allow it to be a tool against what is right.

Agree. How many times have we observed the indoctrinated parroting some nonsense from their ideological masters that they cannot answer to? Ask them what makes a rifle an "assault" rifle and they really cannot tell you, or what they say is obviously false, to anyone who has ever had a weapon they used in combat.

If you prefer to be childish, that's on you. I was hoping for more here, but alas, you fall back into childish antics. You should care about people moving away, there are some good ideas on the left that are useful, and we need a healthy Democrat party free of the radicals for a health political landscape and a balancing of the needs of people. Please reconsider the Turks, they are sometimes a little too left....but worthy of watching. You should ingest information from multiple sources, to include and perhaps especially from those where you disagree. Now, in this instance they are calling out the truth, but that truth apparently flouts your deeply held beliefs. This is not a negative, it is an opportunity you should use to grow.

There is a further concern. Most deaths are due to handguns, which can fire at commensurate rates with "assault" rifles. So the entire pearl-clutching here is just a farce.

I think we should have stages. Right now I want every criminal, that means those who were criminals before they came here and broke our laws by entering illegally. I also want anyone on a terror watch list. Past that we can start gathering up anyone else who illegally crossed our border, send them home as well. Go after the bulk of those who were allowed to rush in over the last four years. If there are those who have not committed a crime and are productive useful people, allow them to request to stay and evaluate them for it. JMHO

OK, I disagree, but I understand your position on this.

You do not get to decide what they are, you have established for yourself what they are, because you disagree with them. I urge you to reconsider. This is not the way to approach people when you are an adult. This way of thinking is an important factor in why people are moving away from liberalism. While I disagree with them on many things, I also have some common ground with them. You should not dismiss or disregard people because you disagree on something.

Agree. Folks get upset when you extend their logic and it clearly shows the gaps in their wisdom, I think we need to understand how maddening that might be for people. It is useful to show them, as with this example, and help them move away from the over simplistic dogma they are fed, and into a more thoughtful assessment. I hope that is the net result here for the indoctrinated.
