That would be a disaster. Let's just say that a Democrat is elected in 2020 and decides to do this. What's to stop it from continuing every time the opposition party is elected? I wouldn't put it past some politician to try it not thinking of the consequences though. Rick (hboats)

Roger Goodell tells NFL owners ‘everyone should stand for the national anthem’ Roger Goodell sends a letter to the owners in the NFL saying that everyone should stand for the National Anthem. Rick (hboats)

You shouldn't have a problem linking to this "Pew research" right? I wonder why you didn't do that in your OP. Rick (hboats)

Sorry, but you didn't post any facts in the OP, you posted your opinion. We are supposed to refute your opinion with facts? Why? Rick (hboats)

I'm not saying this idiot Roof wasn't a racist. By all accounts he looks like it. But, I am saying blame the person behind the gun and the person behind the racism. Not every person who owns a gun, or every white person. Or is that just using too much logic for some people? Rick (hboats)

And what happens when you give that man a fishing pole and all the supplies he needs to go catch his own fish and he sits on his couch complaining that the fish aren't biting? Now, before you get all upset and say that not everyone would do that, I'm not saying that everyone would, but you...

Really? You're only giving him a year? Weren't we all told when Obama took office that we all needed to give him 4 years to straighten out the economy? Let me get this straight, he made the speech in which he said that cutting taxes and regulations would help the economy in January of 2013...

First of all, I'm calling B.S. on your claim that the "majority of people in prison are there because of personal drug use...." got a link to back that up? Second, so what you're telling us is that we should enforce the laws for background checks and waiting periods, but not enforce the laws...

Have you looked at the OP? You want to talk about parroting other's non sequiturs? Give me a break. Rick (hboats)

Only someone who doesn't want to see the similarity between the two arguments will not see it. Can a car kill someone if no one puts it in motion? Can a gun kill someone if no one pulls the trigger? What exactly is the common denominator? It's someone using the object in a manner that causes...

32,000 traffic fatalities in 2013 in the United States. Why aren't we calling for cars to be outlawed? Why don't we have a 10 day waiting period for the purchase of a motor vehicle? Those things are deadly. Wait, maybe it's the person behind the wheel that is to blame? No? Ok. Let's ban...

Do you have a link to support this claim? Because the link that you posted says that the voters were asked for their names, addresses and DOB. It says nothing about them asking for "age, weight, height, etc." Please post the link to support this claim. Rick (hboats)

Didn't read the link, did you? If you did you'd realize that your post has absolutely nothing to do with this thread. The county in California doesn't want to secede from the Union. They want to secede from the state of California and form their own state. Rick (hboats)

No, what's truly amazing is how anyone can call a 57% increase a cut. But then there are sheep out there that will believe anything that is spewed out to them and not use any due diligence to find out for themselves that they're being lied to. Rick (hboats)

Wait, did I miss something in the link? All of these were the result of a semi-automatic weapon? Why can't anyone answer the question that I posted earlier? How many of these would have been avoided by tougher gun regulations? Rick (hboats)
