    Why? Your'e 10-15 times more likely to be either stabbed or beaten to death. And probably 50 times more likely to be killed by someone using a handgun. But when you consider that the real daily threat to our health and life comes from driving in traffic, rather than from armed bad guys, it makes the fear of assault type rifles rather irrational. Not to mention cancers and heart disease. In truth, the media is brainwashing people. Two and a half million people die in America every year. About one percent of that number is from all firearms combined. So even if you banned assault type rifles which account for about .01% of all deaths, that leaves 99.99 % of all other ways to die. The biggest problem in America is the breakdown of the family. That's because the Democrat party threw it away about fifty years ago.

    Not that libs will get the underlying message, but what is the difference in getting killed with a .223 or a .22?

    Once we figure out these isn't simply a guns issue, but a mental health AND guns issue, we'll be able to begin a real discussion. And everyone knows what a assault weapon is. A assault weapon is what the shooter in Las Vegas used.

    And add to that, 2/3 of all gun deaths are suicides. That isn't a gun problem. That is a suicide problem.

    The same arguments apply to terrorists but I don't see righties recognizing THAT logic. Why do you think that is? Why does the right wing exploit fear of terrorism, and then throw up their hands when domestic nuts kill far more people, arguing that there is no real threat from guns?

    If you don't need to worry about guns then you certainly don't need to worry about terrorists.

    Texas shooting: Gun laws aren’t the problem, government incompetence is.

    As was revealed Sunday, in what is becoming a common theme in these mass shootings, no amount of background checking would have stopped the shooter in Sutherland Springs, Texas from purchasing his firearms, because the federal government failed to do its job properly. It’s not the first time. . . .

    But even when the FBI has all the data needed to flag someone from purchasing a gun, there have been examples of gross incompetence as well.

    Dylann Roof shot and killed nine people during evening services at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., in 2015.

    Roof was not legally permitted to own a firearm due to an unlawful drug possession charge from earlier that year. Roof’s record listed the wrong arresting agency and because of this error, he was able to legally purchase the weapon he used in the shooting. Victims of family members killed by Roof have filed suit against the U.S. government because of this avoidable error.

    Hold the government and its employees liable in the same way you’d hold nongovernmental entities and people liable. No immunity.

    I wish that were true

    But just because a team has not won a World series in 50 or 60 years does not mean they never will

    I think it depends a lot on how many federal judges trump is able to get confirmed while he is in office

    Because ultimately the 2nd Amendment has meaning only as long as the black robes say it does

    I would never say never but as far as domestic events that have currently brought the anti-gun libs out of their holes again calling for more gun control, I do not feel they have any more support now than they did after Sandy Hook. A couple states may continue to press on with more restrictions but I would not expect any changes in Federal regulations any time in the near future. Any court challenges to 2A rights would be politicized and not helpful to democrats winning needed legislative seats in 2018 or 2020.

    The breakdown of the family? How so? And how exactly did the "Democrat" party throw it away 50 years ago?

    I did notice that the leftness had nothing to say about Feinstein being establishment. Being down this road before and using the rhetoric she did. She should have known better and the Press shouldn't give her a pass on it.

    I'm guessing the answer involves the welfare state.

    Actually assault weapons are what you see the Military, and Law Enforcement use.. SWAT being easiest for the leftness to identify what assault weapons look like.

    Hence the video of the Independent Angus King and him describing the weapon type.

    Clarification: An "assault weapon" is a LW legal construct to mean a "military-style" semi-automatic rifle. An assault rifle is a select fire, magazine fed, medium range military rifle.

    Below are two semi-automatic, civilian design rifles. They are both Ruger 10/22s, but one qualifies as an "assault weapon" because of cosmetic features.

    McConnell has taken care of that issue now. Trump only has a few Appellate Judges to get confirmed. The rest are district judges. There I think he still has like 48 to be confirmed.

    Either way, McConnell took care of the Demos Obstruction. Then he told Senate Democrats they can stay for the weekends to get Trumps picks confirmed. Used the Nuke Option and really put them under the gun about doing what they hate most.....work. So the Demos started approving some of those picks.

    Here was one of the Liberal rags already in a panic. This is what they are telling their kind.


    Mitch McConnell powers up a production line for Trump’s right-wing judges....


    Senate Republicans are rubber-stamping Trump’s judicial picks to pack the courts with right-wing extremists

    Is the Democrat party the party that upholds the Family, as in the sacredness of Marriage, Husband and Wife, Father and Mother and Children, as the foundation of society? Or is it the party of the collective, built upon the foundation of the government?

    No idea what you're asking here. Neither party "upholds" the family. We are all adults and are supposed to care for ourselves.

    I think they will take the route of Obamacare and just jam an unpopular law through a congress they control and depend on liberal activist judges in the courts to back them uo

    Feinstein's European-Jewish ancestors were made to give up their guns by the order of Hitler. Look how well that turned out for them.

    The Disarmament of the German Jews started in 1933, initially limited to local areas. A major target was Berlin, where large-scale raids in search for weaponry took place. Starting in 1936, the Gestapo prohibited German police offices from giving firearms licenses to Jews.[1] In November 1938, the „Verordnung gegen den Waffenbesitz der Juden“ prohibited the possession of Firearms and bladed weapons by Jews.

    The breakdown of the family began with LBJ and the War on Poverty when Uncle Sam replaced men as the breadwinner than women with children depended on
