    That graph is all the explanation needed for why the left supports open borders. They want power so badly that they are willing to destroy America to get it.

    LoL, the military is on our side, not yours. NEVER forget that. The military is overwhelming conservative and overwhelmingly pro-gun rights. I have multiple relatives in the military and there is no question whose side they would be on if the federal government tried to erase the 2nd amendment.

    And the same could be said of law enforcement. As I've said before in this thread, here in blue state NM most county sheriffs publicly said they would not enforce the recently passed Universal Background Check law, let alone gun confiscation.

    Leftist regimes want no restrictions on the govts ability to conduct eugenics. To ensure they will be able to do that, they have to take people’s ability to defend themselves first. Look at the USSR, Pol Pot, National Socialist in Germany

    I can't speak for that "LW" that festers in your noggin, but sensible regulation of women's wombs by the government are now in force, and supported by the vast majority of Americans.

    Is this a hyper-partisan delusion, or can you actually cite any government or party's political platform that enforces or calls for "no restrictions on the govts ability to conduct eugenics"?

    Yes. The dems fight any restrictions on abortions...and call it “women’s health”

    As I expected, a hyper-partisan delusion.

    The State seizing control of women's wombs is opposed by the overwhelming majority of Americans.

    Current restrictions under Roe v Wade are largely supported.

    Roe isn’t the controlling case and I agree restrictions in Casey are largely supported...its the few radicals that run the DNC now that are in the minority’...look at NY new law for example

    Not a Trump guy. You’ll have to work harder. Your drill sergeant was wrong. Sorry to burst your bubble.

    You're included.

    According to your link, 75% of Americans want abortion restricted to the first trimester. Do you and your party support that reasonable restriction?

    A normal pregnancy isn't even a medical issue.

    And yet all studies into DGU's show more defensive firearm use than criminal firearm use.

    Do some research on ballistics. Most military don’t know much about firearms or ballistics. It isn’t their job to know. Your drill sergeant’s job is to get impressionable minds to do dangerous things without thinking about the consequences. And I’m not knocking that. It’s the way it has to be.

    Talk to some combat vets that have experience shooting humans with fmj 5.56. You won’t find many fans. That’s just a fact. Your drill sergeant can’t train a bunch of recruits to fight effectively if they don’t have confidence in their equipment. He’ll tell you a rubber band gun is tops if that’s what was available.

    The M-16 family has definite advantages over its predecessors but lethality is not one of them. The 5.56 round is, as others have pointed out, a great varmint and small game round. It’s marginal on anything else. People who use the round in practical applications and can speak honestly about it know this. People who believe in science and are willing to do the research can come to the same conclusion.

    If you really want to learn, find someone who has serious medical trauma training in the military. Look into what species of animal is used to test skills. Get back to me. I have a lot of experience with that species.

    For active duty and vets reading this I’m very pro military. Some of my best friends are active duty and vets. My problem is with misinformation being peddled on the basis of anything coming out of the mouth of a vet or someone serving being gospel based on appeal to authority.

    Your presumed authority to assign Americans according to your wonts is noted.

    I don't have a "party" nor would I allow one to dictate to me concerning what I regard as a very personal issue.

    I believe that, before another actual person has developed during gestation, a woman should control her own womb - in consultation with trusted medical professionals, spiritual advisers, family and friends, as she deems appropriate - rather than politicians who do not know her or her circumstances.

    Beyond three months, special circumstances should pertain: woman's life endangered, pregnancy resulting from rape/incest, when a child would have extremely serious medical problems, etc.

    Please return to the thread's topic, or begin one to discuss your unrelated concerns.
