That's it.

Get rid of the 2nd anyway. It has no purpose today, whatever reasons it had for existing in the first place.

Yeah, the American Constitution is set up in such a way that it's basically impossible for there to be any number of legitimate parties other than 2 in the long run so at some point the Republican party will warp itself into being successful with a group other than old white guys

Any path to that starts with evicting the Evangelicals from the party, which I guess Trump might be a good step towards, but Zodiac will probably bring them right back in in 2020.

There's a distinct lack of Trumpists in the thread lately, other than Boosted retreating to only commenting on guns. I want to hear NML mk-x's thoughts on Black Lives Matter and their irresponsibility in saying mean things about police.

re: gunchat I just think it's time for some people who are obviously otherwise intelligent and well-spoken to face the fact that people are pretty upset and in no real mood for splitting hairs on terminology. I don't care if we're calling them assault weapons or whatever, the point is that insane people need to stop being able to easily access high-capacity semi-auto firearms and gun show loopholes need to be closed. I can't really think of any other subject where the national mood is so tonally different from the conservative party line.

Off-topic but the best part of that case is the dude who ate another guy's face didn't have anything but cannabis in his system. He was just crazy and hungry for face I guess.

Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker who is informally advising Donald J. Trump and being vetted as a possible Republican vice-presidential nominee, said on Friday that whites in America can’t fathom “being black in America.”

Mr. Gingrich made the comments in a Facebook Live chat with the Democratic commentator Van Jones, who is black, after 12 officers were shot in Dallas at a rally protesting the deaths of black men by the police in Louisiana and Minnesota.

“It took me a long time, and a number of people talking to me through the years, to get a sense of this,” Mr. Gingrich said. “If you are a normal, white American, the truth is you don’t understand being black in America and you instinctively underestimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk.”

He added there were “everyday” dangers that white people did not face. “It is more dangerous to be black in America,” he said. “It is more dangerous in that they are substantially more likely to end up in a situation where the police don’t respect you and you could easily get killed.”

Can't we just have Japan style gun regulations where you have to be the best god drat citizen ever and take frequent tests to even own a gun and that you have to store the ammo and gun in separate locked containers as well as give the police a map to where your gun is located in your house, and that the only gun you'll ever get there is a double-barrel shotgun?

So let's start by repealing the 2nd amendment. Then ban anything that holds more than one round. Bolt-action rifles for hunting only.

Agreed, 2nd amendment worst amendment.

That's it.

This isn't really the place to get into this, but barring some seriously motivated reasoning on the part of the judges, I have no idea how you would get an outright ban of semi-automatic rifles past the combination of Miller and Heller.

That kind of talk is going to cost them about 40% of their party.

“My argument is the policies that have driven us apart, the policies that have trapped African-Americans in all too large numbers in poverty and in hopelessness [are] the ideological policies that say, ‘Black lives matter.’
Well, baloney! All American lives matter, of all backgrounds. And we ought to challenge the Hillary Clintons and the Bernie Sanderses to say that American lives matter. All American lives.
We’re in the eighth year of a president who could have brought us together, a president who could have worked in the African-American community to make people feel better about themselves, a president who could have offered visionary changes in the policies that have failed for the last 50 years. And he didn’t do any of that.”

So unless he got woke over inter interview brunch, he's just saying what people want to hear
