    Actually you voted for a traitor, you were wrong and President Biden is proving you wrong every day of his administration. His inflation reduction act alone is putting America back on the map of world leading manufacturers.

    But gas and groceries are still too high and inflation is still here.

    Well then, don't be patriotic, and don't ever call yourself a patriot.

    As for me, if my country needed me to fight for her, I would do so willingly.

    You may call me a patriot all day long.

    Man, you guys can sure take a harmless line and run with it, lines like fine people on both sides and people should drink bleach. I'm sure you know this, but when Trump said that he was referring to what he'd do on day one and that is secure the border, drill baby drill, and later he added that he would reverse Biden's horrible EV mandate. That's not being a dictator, that's telling the country what he wants to do if the country elected him. A dictator is someone who forces people to buy something they might not want, closes down businesses and arrests the owners if they try to open them up, or force auto makers to make only the kind of cars the dictator approves of.

    I'm amazed that anyone would bring up the inflation act, during a period of soaring inflation with no end in sight, to defend Biden.

    I reject your simplistic one liners that almost never have any supporting argument or facts

    Engaging in insurrection and supporting insurrections is in direct violation of the constitution and anyone that is so inclined cannot be considered a "patriot"

    well the second amendment states that the right of the people shall not be infringed. If you support INFRINGING on the RIGHT that means you are an enemy of our constitutional rights

    What someone is and what someone actually is doesn't always agree.

    The road to hell is paved with good intentions

    I agree with John Stewart

    (2) Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited.

    According to our Constitution a person is innocent until found guilty by a court of law. Just to head you off a bit, an investigation by congress is not a court of law.

    you have to explain where a government got the power to actually infringe on the second amendment. Gun banners quote this DICTA all the time and continually prove how little they understand about governmental power under our constitution. the second amendment is not about what the people can do but what the government CANNOT DO

    It was a choice between Trump and Biden. I chose the lesser of two evils. It appears my choice was correct, because we were better off under Trump for a number of reasons which I have mentioned previously.

    That line is from the SC and their job is to interpret the constitution.

    But in the 250 years since the 2nd Amendment was enacted, arms have grown in capability and we, as a country, have decided that some of those arms are not covered by the 2nd Amendment.

    For example, we SEVERLY restrict who can own a fully automatic rifle. We don't allow people to own grenade launchers, flame throwers or hand held surface to air missiles.

    I don't see anyone from the pro gun movement arguing that the ban on those weapons constitutes a violation of the 2nd Amendment. So we, as a nation, do agree that the 2nd Amendment has limitations. What we are arguing now is where to draw that line.

    IT IS DICTA

    automatic rifles should be covered. a ban on hand held automatics clearly violate the second amendment
