Would it bother you if one of the guns you sold was later used in a homicide or other violent crime?

Night10194 posted:Wait, wasn't that Carter Page? Well, Carter Page public confessed to being the guy who a couple of Russian Spies were laughing about for being so stupid and desperate to be Russian that they could get anything from him, and him already having passing on stuff to them. But in Page's defense at least a reporter asked him the question before he confirmed it. And also in fairness Page appears to have been too much of a laughable stooge to have even ingratiated himself into the Trump Campaign/Administration beyond a surface level. As I remember it Cohn just apropos of nothing boasted to a reporter about how he had a secret meeting with a Russian delegate who game him a policy package about Ukraine and Russian sanctions that he hand delivered to Michael Flynn. Then when that became a big scandal he claimed the reporter made it up and told a new story where it all still happened but now he merely left the package on Flynn's desk instead of hand delivering it. Then when it came out there was audio of both interviews he introduced a third story where no such package ever existed. Then finally he said it was all made up fake news and he just ran into a Russian in the hall way or something. All within a week. Then there's just a bunch of guys like Flynn, Sessions, and Kushner who have lied about meeting with Russians but never actually confessed until they were busted and then just said they "forgot."

evilweasel posted:Trump ran on raising taxes on the rich, because that is more popular than cutting them among Republican primary voters. It is a myth republican voters love tax cuts for the rich. It's only republican donors who do. Cutting taxes on the rich has been front and center in the Republican platform for decades, and Republican voters haven't really had a problem with that so far.

Fulchrum posted:So you've given up pretending you care at all about policy, but? lol what? What even makes you think this guy cares about these policies? He's said so? Has he ever put his money (literal or figurative) where his mouth is? Should we just instantly believe any random dude who happens along and says the right things? I guess if you have a penis you have an automatic trust card, because people sure as gently caress didn't trust the woman who has worked in politics her entire adult life and who actually put detailed policies on the table, because her political opinions can't evolve, she's clearly just lying, there's something about her that just isn't trustworthy, can't put my finger on it, etc. I know next to nothing about Zuckerberg, but what I do know doesn't give me any reason to believe that 1) he actually cares about this poo poo, 2) he has any idea how to implement this poo poo, or 3) he could govern in any capacity whatsoever. Hell, Zuckerberg could be completely sincere with the perfect plans to implement every Lefty dream possible, but that's not going to mean much if he's not capable of actually delivering on that plan. Let him run for another, less powerful office and prove he has any of these capabilities at all, otherwise a presidential run just looks like a Trumpian vanity project, and that ongoing train wreck is exactly the reason for this thread. I didn't support Bernie in the primary just because he said some nice stuff, I supported him because that stuff is what he's been advocating and working towards for years. If you get starry eyed at every random rich person with the right words on their lips you're going to get conned and disappointed a hell of a lot, and when it comes to the presidency that's not something we can afford to keep risking.

stone cold posted:psa: own guns? dont Counterpoint Grab a bigger weapon. The left needs to get over this silly peace, love and yogurt tacos nonsense. Sometimes you have to fight and when that happens it's very useful to have weapons. So not only do I suggest getting a gun, I also suggest getting some actual training on their use. Oh and it's probably not the worst financial investment either. prices are low because Trump won and they'll rebound as soon as a Democrat wins the White House so not only are they an investment in protections they're a pretty good financial investment as well.

I've been thinking about John McCain lately, no small thanks to his continued wishy-washy reaction to just about everything the current administration does. My question is this: how complicit in the current state of politics will he be when viewed in the context of history? Because under his campaign we got a stunt candidate in Sara Palin, the coining of "gotcha journalism," and the creation and expansion of the Tea Party. It really feels like a lot of where we are right now was seeded during his run, yet he's not really held to task for that.

She had no lasting legacy to speak of and the reaction to obama was going to happen regardless. There was no VP pick that was going to stop them from losing. McCain will likely be seen as someone who was passed by by republican politics. It remains to be seen if he has a heroic final act last stand, or if he just withers away.

It's financially irresponsible to NOT get one I know it's bit of a semantics argument, but actual assault rifles (select fire rifles regulated under the NFA) are very expensive, in the $15,000 to $30,000 range.

What will the NRA do once 3D printed weapons begin to approach the quality and reliability of gun manufacturers? You can anyway print a gun, it sucks, but give it 5-10 years. Will they side with hobbyists as an individual right? Or will they side with the manufacturers who are going to be lobbying for this to be banned? If they do, what will NRA membership think of the orgs silence on new laws banning home printed weapons?
