We force auto companies to recall dangerous cars, the government should be able to force gun manufacturers to recall guns that are easily converted to fully automatic. You want to shoot an automatic weapon, then join the loving military

Gorsuch is a buffoon with a child's concept of argumentation who sits where he does because he has just enough capacity to play the useful idiot necessary to be sufficiently obedient to the whims of the Republican party's masters.

John Roberts is reasonably intelligent and sometimes its interesting to read his opinions, though based on today's argument, he's about as confused about statistics as the ICP are with magnets. Alito is a straight-up political hack who cares about conservative wins more than being consistent.

You want to shoot an automatic weapon, then join the loving military Define "easily converted". The reason why bump fire stocks are legal is because a human finger is still pulling a trigger. The trigger is still being reset by the gun, there's no additional mechanism that makes it full automatic. It is a combination of recoil generated by the weapon and muscle pulling the weapon forward that allows bump fire to happen. You don't even need a bump fire stock to do engage in bump fire, it just makes it easier to do so.

I could probably grudgingly stomach Roberts, and decisions he made that I didn't agree with if he didn't come up with totally hack-y reasons to do so. Like with the VRA case, his dumbass rationale for gutting it was because it did a good job striking down racist voting laws and so we don't need it anymore, which is probably in my "top 5 worst loving arguments ever" list. As RGB (or was it Sotomayor?) kindly pointed out, this would be like getting rid of your umbrella during a rainstorm because you're not getting wet. Office Pig posted:Nothing will ever make Alito good in substance or appearance and it's loving disgusting to think anyone could possibly give him the slightest room to carry the impression he's anything but the lowest of the low. I read somewhere that Alito is the most blatantly partisan judge on the court, which was really surprising given that he shared a seat with Scalia and Thomas.

Gorsuch was heavily vetted by the Heritage Foundation, in addition to all of Trump's other possible finalists. After what happened with Justice Souter, they are not going to let anyone who isn't a straight up party hack on the Court ever again as long as they control the WH

God drat it, I opened facebook and immediately saw people I know spouting pro-gun bullshit and others just spreading blatantly false info "Everything I could find says he was using illegal guns anyway, how will gun laws help?" and of course the always popular "If someone truly wants to hurt other people they'll find a way." Yeah, but not almost 600 people from a 32nd floor window. I typed a reply, erased it because you shouldn't touch the poop, then started to retype it. Thankfully I wasn't stupid enough to post it. Nothing is more useless than arguing with conservatives or gun nuts on Facebook, not even this post.

A horse sounds materially better than Neil Gorsuch in every way. If I remember right the relief among liberals about Gorsuch was mostly because of speculation that Trump might nominate Pryor, a wild-eyed fundy nutjob who would fit right in on the Guardian Council in Iran.

We won't have a millennial judge for like 20 years and then millennials will be the power group. The boomers who hate millennials off of pure projection, because they make them realize how lovely their generation is, will be dead. Of course on our current trajectory the boomers will have done irreparable damage to all the generations that come after them. But we can hopefully rebuild and fix some of their mistakes. The first millennial judge will probably be met with strong support.

Anyone added to the official death toll has been dead for days - it's just counting corpses and guessing at time+manner of death which has to be within days of the storm and directly related to it like drowning or a building falling on you. Anything stress related like heart attacks doesn't count. Probably death by power failure doesn't either *looks meaningfully at hospitals* but I'm not an expert on the criteria.
