5 — it’s a Trojan horse…all it takes is a tweak of some verbiage to include “extremists” in Red Flag language down the road and anyone who doesn’t swear allegiance to the DNC will be subject to confiscation.I think there are ways to design a system with safeguards in it that work well for both sides, but the problems are four-fold:
1- Nobody wants to pay for it (to do this properly will cost a lot of money, AKA the american skinflint conundrum, although we seem to skip that problem when bailing out negligent borrowers or bombing brown people, but I digress)
2- Nobody has the balls to actually try to implement it- it involves some risks and complexity.
3-Anti gunners wont profit enough from it because it likely wouldnt increase the # of disqualified persons that much, and if done properly it would facilitiate certain groups of people to own
firearms again that had become DQed previously.
4- Government is generally shit and has this fun habit of f***ing up and contorting everything it touches, especially when most laws are shit and poorly written in a vague manner that allows for a lot of interpretation by (insert some shitty federal agency that should probably be shut down or cut in half here). Then we get executive office faggotry where every time the president changes suddenly the posture of the entire mental health system will change. Thats completely and utterly f***ed.

Problem with military, if you deploy to a warzone/peace keeping mission, there's no way you don't have some level of PTSD. If mental evaluations get out of control, joining the military could be a de facto prohibition. I know stuff I saw back in the day still hangs onto me, just doing LEO work. I know guys who were active that saw worse.Actually, the government has been willing to do that since about 1964 or so, but it's more like an enhanced sear. All you have to do is join up.

I'm hoping the left dumpster fire rages hot enough to cause this 'deal' to blow up.Well it appears to be official: everyone hates the government.
10. So with McConnell that makes 11. Enough to assure passage.“The group on the release includes
Republican Sens. John Cornyn of Texas,
Thom Tillis and Richard Burr of North Carolina,
Roy Blunt of Missouri,
Bill Cassidy of Louisiana,
Susan Collins of Maine,
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina,
Rob Portman of Ohio,
Mitt Romney of Utah and
Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.” – CNN reported.
Dems love saying "this is just the beginning". Couldn't get the full on semi automatic ban but it's a good start.Well it appears to be official: everyone hates the government.
Unsealing BGCs will take more than 3 days, so that’s automatically extending BGCs beyond the 3 day limit for 18-21 year olds. And then, why not for everyone?
So pretty much we are dependent on Manchin or Sinema voting no on this and Manchin is best buds with Toomey.
Problem is setting up a system which does not solve the fatal flaw of giving the judge the choice between posting his/her reputation at risk by denying an order vs. assuring they cannot ever be lambasted for not issuing an order for someone who goes on to do evil.
Don't be on the red flag laws .Mental health? I’m good with that.
Hardening schools? Good with that also.
Enhanced BG checks for 18-21? Not sure what that entails, but I don’t really see the need for it.
Red flag laws? I’d be ok with them except for the opportunity for abuse. On face value it makes sense to a point. If my neighbor has been smoking meth all day and has a pistol in his waistband while talking to satan, I’d call the cops before someone got hurt. Yeah the cops might shoot him, but I have no control over that.
allow me to paraphrase:It's just amazing to watch a party use its entire voice and platform to convince everyone, but especially kids, that they are always confused about their identity, are unhappy, that everything "normal" is bad, that every small issue should be indulged, that this country is fundamentally flawed, and that anything wrong is someone else's fault. Then come in with the need to "do something" in the wake of this messaging.
I believe the old analog is finding out the arsonist is a firefighter.
Honestly? Yes, I do. Obviously not all of them.Does anyone think Any of the vucked up psychopaths who shoot up schools or nightclubs or supermarkets or concerts wouldn’t have done it if they only had access to someone to listen to them?
