You know this talk of a potential flood of left wingers buying guns got me thinking.

I wonder if this administration would figure out a way to only allow good honest Republicans to buy guns. Like anyone that is a registered Democrat would get rejected when they run the FFL check. Or some other means of keeping Dems/libs from buying guns.

I wouldn't put it past this administration.

The Book of Mormon also teaches that black people are descended from Ham and cursed by God and not fit for leadership in the Church.

But, whatever. If they're allies in the fight against fascism, I'll take that. Especially since half the Democratic party has apparently decided to sit this one out in the hopes that the fascists break with historical precedent this time and refrain from murdering them after they bury the left.

It's not the liberal Democrats he has to worry about - they're mostly on his side at least when it comes to antifascists and socialists. And they'll gladly help him disarm them as well.

Strange is the sitting Senator and Trump's choice. He's probably going to win in the runoff. If he doesn't, then that's bad for Trump because it'll send a signal to Congressional Republicans that doing everything Trump wants won't keep them safe.

Any challenge to it would likely be on rational basis standard, I believe, which is normally super permissive-- but I would be pretty sure it would be struck down on that level, if the court didn't establish a protection level/class for it under the 14th amendment.

This really isn't true anymore...at all. They dismantled most of that action by the end of the 90's. It used to be if you wanted concrete poured anywhere in NYC you needed to, but even that isn't true anymore.

The mafia...as in the Five families, are a shadow of their former selves. A changing world and the ability of the government to wield tech to absolutely haymaker their bread and butter activities crippled them permanently.

Yes, but the casino case in question that's being reported on by that Australian news source was from 1987, when the Mob still very much had its tentacles all over the gambling industry.

That might have been trueish in the 80s when this went down, but the RICO act and the busting of the mob really hosed the mafia up since then. Even in the 80s I reckon legit businesses stayed clean-- Trump just doesn't care about being legit.

Yes. I get off on making Democrats furious over pointing out their tacit support of fascism whenever they are forced to choose between that and even milquetoast socialism. Their bitter recriminations and tears of rage when the emptiness of their rhetoric and their ideology is exposed, sustains me. For too long have I hungered, and now I feast. This is my moment.

May-issue laws worked pretty much entirely like that, only traditionally focused on poor/minority people being shut out. They still exist in a few states and in cities that are allowed to enact stricter gun laws than their states. They're all pretty blue places these days, but it hasn't changed that if you want to get a gun there you should first become as white and well-off as possible.

The pro-gun racist stance today is to let lefty-looking people get all the guns they want then Castile them.

Like, there is amazing discussion here, but I don't want to have to explain why I post on a site that allows that poo poo on it

At some point Lowtax needs to bite the loving bullet and admit that GBS 2.0 was a horrible mistake and for all the flaws of GBS 1.0 it was way better than the poo poo we have now. Seriouslyt the #1 reason the SA forums are dying right now is because of the steaming pile of poo poo that GBS was allowed to turn into. All of this websites outwards facing pages/forums like GBS or the account registration page are some of the most embarrassing poo poo on the internet.

The end user experience for someone not already familiar with SA is loving miserable and that is why we attract very few new quality posters and are mostly coasting on the momentum created by the communities heyday.

That is not a defence of antifascism that is a condemnation of white supremacy, and a lukewarm one at that, and I did not say she never condemned white supremacy. She just went out of her way to avoid lending antifascists any support while doing so, in contrast to the Republican candidate for President in the 2012 election.

“My heart is in Charlottesville today, and with everyone made to feel unsafe in their country,” Clinton tweeted. “But the incitement of hatred that got us here is as real and condemnable as the white supremacists in our streets. Every minute we allow this to persist through tacit encouragement or inaction is a disgrace, & corrosive to our values. Now is the time for leaders to be strong in their words & deliberate in their actions. We will not step backward. If this is not who we are as Americans, let’s prove it.”
