    Google Duckworth and gun control. Her comment about "the students of the nation are crying out for common sense gun control" pushing her Blair Holt registry bill shows she is a commie IMHO. In today's climate Democrats want to disarm people, eliminate police, and let mobs run the street. So they are horrible people. Also check out her support of a 2019 bill to ban AR15 type rifles, large magazines, and so forth.

    Now I understand she is not an actual card carrying member of the Communist party, but the left in this country has swung so far to the left they are no longer liberals in the classic sense of the word. Rather they represent a lite form of communism.

    She states in the Washington Post "I am a combat vet, we cannot allow our country to be turned into a war zone." The is code for disarming citizens and leaving them at the mercy of criminals and the mob. The fact that she is a combat vet does not mean she gets a pass on subverting the 2nd Amendment. The Democrat party is turning our country into a war zone.

    Tin foil hat award for that one. Ronald Reagan supported gun control legislation. Was he a commie? If you say no, then that shoots down your Duckworth claim.

    "Tin Foil Hat" is just a term you bandy about as an alternative to discussing issues. What exactly are you calling a tin hat theory?

    As I mentioned to someone here yesterday I don't think Reagan was a paragon of virtue. Your comparison is somewhat contrived. Reagan was soft on the 2nd Amendment, but Reagan didn't support gun control to the extent that Duckworth does.

    Reagan supported The Brady Bill - that bill actually passed.
    So unless you are willing to say that Reagan was a commie, I'm going to call Partisan Hack Bull **** on your post.

    You can call my post anything you want as clearly you can't or won't defend Duckworth's left wing gun control.

    BTW, Reagan signed the Firearm Owners Protection Act showing some support for the 2nd Amendment.

    Gun control doesn't make a person a commie. It's like saying that supporting birth control makes you a commie. Or that wanting clean water and air makes you a commie. It's a stupid
    line to draw.

    Nothing defines where one is on the American political spectrum better than their stance on gun control. Surely with your interest in politics you understand this.

    I'm for private ownership of guns. I'm a fiscal conservative, social progressive. Your one stance fits all is bull crap.
    It's what happens when you live in a black or white world - you miss all the good stuff in-between.

    What about lawyers in St. Louis defending their home against a mob. Can they own guns? I seem to recall you posting on this topic a day or two ago.

    Yes, they can. I was questioning their gun handling problems and their choice to point the weapons at the marchers and themselves. They were more dangerous to themselves and their neighbors than anything else.

    MyPillow is a perfect place for suckers who think hoodwinked liars like Tucker are "Patriots" and "Trump-style Christians".

    That this God of "MyPillow" has a "F" (fail) from the Better Business Bureau from a number of fraudulent practices is right in line with Tucker's fraudulent journalism practices.

    The 2nd amendment allows for gun control legislation and, in fact, it encourages gun control legislation because it references a "well-regulated militia." Your constitutional rights are not without limits and discussing the need for gun control legislation, when our country faces a legitimate threat from an overabundance of gun violence, is an example of why Tammy Duckworth is being a better American.

    As an attorney you of all people should know how the US Code defines the militia. And you should know well regulated referenced being well practiced or well drilled at the time the Constitution was written.

    (a)  The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32 , under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

    (b)  The classes of the militia are--

    (1)  the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia;  and

    (2)  the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

    True. There is also a bidding process many don't know about.

    You are obviously not a business owner. Those looking at the BBB as a fair consumer reporting site are in no position to be calling others suckers. They are a money making machine. Many companies pay the ransom and receive an A+ rating.

    Look at the facts, 30 million pillows sold, 80+ complaints. Not bad.

    I'm a former A+ rated business. I got tired of the cost and finally quit. I have no idea what my rating is now and, frankly, I don't care.

    Even if complaints are handled properly, they are considered "unresolved" if it is not done through the BBB. Unfortunately, the average consumer sees the F and never bothers to look at the actual numbers. 80+ complaints out of 30M pillows sold is a great result.

    I don't know, everyone is getting pretty fed up with the anti-Americanism.

    The main anti-Americanism around tge country is the efforts by Republicans, Fox News, Trump and his paid propaganda to end freedom, stop the freedom of the press, jail non-violent protestors and to bully working people to go to slaughterhouses filled with COVID, not get PPE for workers, and the propaganda to get children into schoolrooms without preparation and protections, all to get tge stock markets a little higher for biionaires at the illnesses of decent Americans.

    Are those the monuments which jump to your mind when you think "confederate monuments?"

    They are the monuments presently being torn down in the united states, by those who were supposedly interested only in confederate monuments and not any others.
