    Don't use big words when you don't know what they mean.
    By some Democrats. A lot of other Democrats aren't talking.

    I guess you're all set like me and don't need Social Security or Medicare. Ol' Bone Spurs isn't after your lunch.

    We wouldn't be able to defend ourselves with them. Is that really a question? Tanks aren't illegal, they are not road worthy.

    You are quite welcome. This exposed how much of an idiot savant Carson really is. He deserves a paycheck on the backs of the taxpayers? Really?

    Anyone.
    Specifically those who would attack with a similar weapon. More importantly, those who would are not likely to when we have them. Same idea behind the nuclear deterrent.

    Best weapon in your home is a 12gauge shotgun. I don't care what type of weapon a person has, the fear that is brought when a person hears the **** of that shotgun is second to none.

    The root of opposition to "gun control" is restraining government abuse.

    Kind of hard to reach in the back seat of you car and grab a assault rifle when someone is holding a pistol on you. Or are you going to just walk down the street holding one.

    Why do you believe the founders preserved as an inalienable right, that the people keep and bear arms?

    In order to be poor there must be non-poor, which makes it a relative comparison.
    I am not comparing the US to the Third World.

    I don't have a problem with folks bearing arms, I am a gun owner myself. As a old military guy I know assault weapons have no place with everyday citizens.

    Then that should be looked at also. One doesn't negate the other.
    There is no need for a trade-off. All that's necessary is for present laws to be enforced and new laws, perhaps for temporary labor, created..
    I certainly agree.
    Business needs an underclass for cheap labor and some politicians need an underclass in order that they can promise them a better life and free stuff in order to get elected.

    Every day citizens are the last line of defense against tyrany, and why we have the right. Because governments are meant to fear us, not the other way around. Because tyrany would not come armed with pocket knives or nuclear weapons.

    It would?

    Did outlawing drugs reduce the volume of drug use and abuse including overdoses?

    Careful here, I have facts on my side.

    Too bad. Education and understanding the appeal of demagogues is far more important to defending freedom.

    Yep. Those felons and gang bangers who don't follow the gun laws can become guests of the state.
    Faulty parallelism.

    No, on both counts. The insane "war on drugs" needs to end.
    Not about guns.

    The physical barrier and e-verify system compliment each other. If I had to choose, I'd go with an effective e-verify system because ... no work, no reason to stay. As we secure the border, we can decide who we want to let in as legal immigrants.
    We should deprive them of their comfort zone and easy money.

    When pols talk about trading a border wall for letting Dreamers stay, they're talking about more of the same.

    So in your opinion, legislation outlawing drugs didn't work, but somehow outlawing guns (or restricting them) would?

    Depends upon what you mean by "work." Regulating guns as I suggested will cut down on gun deaths while outlawing drugs creates a lot of problems and may increase drug use.

    No, she does not. She's just a spoiled brat who thinks using obscenities makes her look smart.

    "Thoughts and prayers" to the families of the victims is a centuries old social courtesy, something that kid clearly has no clue of. She is just a crude juvenile, nothing else.

    So you think you would win a battle with the Gov't with a assault rifle. LOL.
