What would a safe change in this specific case?

How many Palestinians have been killed by conservative Israeli Zionists? How many Ukrainians have been killed by conservative Russians? How many people have been killed by conservative Filipino police? How many Rohingya have died in Myanmar?

No bearing at all in this conversation. We can do nothing about those in other countries. But good job deflecting the question.

lol. how? the logistics of personnel alone is never going to happen.

drinking and driving.

prob not the best example

(not necessarily a safe).

Um. wasn't that kinda my question? I didn't say they were not 'secure'.

if you can't make the decision to drink, buy a gun, or whatever else because you're supposedly not "mature" enough to do, why the fuck should you be trusted with choosing who makes those laws? while you're at it, raise the age to enroll in the military. if you can go die for your country at 18 you should be able to buy a beer, vote, and buy the gun they'll hand you at boot.

conversely if you want to lower the voting age, as some democrats suggest, then so should the drinking age, gun purchasing age etc.

there's simply no logic in being 'mature' enough for one and not the other.

Mandatory safe storage laws do nothing. you're assuming that because it's a law people will follow it. Safe storage laws are tack on penalties that are simply feel good laws for the anti gun crowd.

I don't have kids. No kids ever visit my house. I don't flaunt my gun ownership, nor do I leave them laying about. Why do I need a safe?

then so should the voting age.

A lack of reasonable regulation There are hundreds of firearms laws on the books. What new law is both reasonable and would accomplish anything?

and what, pray tell, is "coming to him"?

you're going to shit when you find out sidewalks are next to streets.

lumping everyone who believes part of those is not prudent either. I believe in thinking for one's self. I believe in live and let live. You have ever right to be offended, but being offended means fuck all. I believe 2A is integral to our country and protects the rest of the constitution. I believe in more healthcare. our system is broken. but you can't just flip a switch either. the system would collapse. I believe vaccines should be up to the individual, but the people making the vaccines shouldn't make record profits off of them. They should also publish all their testing data and what EXACTLY is in them. We shouldn't be forced to take anything. I don't know what you mean about less social responsibility. I don't know a single conservative that preaches more taxes for the poor. I think there needs to be a closing of tax loopholes so corporations pay their share, and the rich are not able to 'hide' money offshore. abortions should be legal up until the third trimester, except in cases of danger to the mother. If you simply can't make up your mind in 6 months, then you likely have bigger issues. I think we shouldn't hand out money in foreign aid and we should use that money to house, feed and educate our own population before we hand it out willy nilly all over the globe. if we are going to use the farce that our tax dollars are for defense, then let's DEFEND our country, not bomb brown people and let any Juan, Mohammed, and Larry walk across our southern border in hordes and droves. Immigration is fine, but there's a reason we have a limit. I think you should have to show a govt issued ID to vote IN PERSON and I think that ID should be free. I think there should be voting stations in every HS auditorium. Legalize 420, and let's consider legalizing all drugs. Let the gays be gay, idgaf who you marry. While I think 90% of 'trans' people have a mental condition, who am I to tell them what to do with their body? I think it's dumb af to cut off your tits or dick. But hey, it's your body. But if you present as a man, but "identify" as a woman, how the fuck is anyone supposed to know? Put some effort into it Ze, Zam, Chaz, whatever. The world doesn't revolve around you and your pronouns, get over it. I think pedophiles should be executed on public television. I think the people that brazenly do these "smash mob" style thefts should be put in stocks and publically humiliated. I think people like you misuse words like "fascist", "Nazi", "Insurrection", and "Racist" not because you understand the meaning of them, but because they illicit a response that gives you the feeling of moral superiority.

Ultimately I believe that MOST people fall somewhere in between the left and right and it's just the screaming extremes that make each side look terrible to the other. It's also that screaming extreme on either side that shames people into agreeing with them, exactly how you seem to be doing in your post. Calling a group of people a "dumpster fire" because they have an R or a D next to their name is extremely naive and childish and just as dangerous and you seem to think people that don't think like you are.

But conservatives have been getting more fascist and have been making more calls for violence over the past decade

how many riots were carried out by conservatives in the last 10 years?

i have no idea, but it's not Taylor swift that's selling those tickets for that much, it's ticketmaster/stubhub and the like. she likely gets X amount from the venue to play there and the ticket sales all go to the venue. that's the way it worked at the 4 day music festivals I've worked at. we paid the performers X amount, that had ZERO to do with how much we were charging for tickets. They got no portion of our sales.

Well, it's a thing called Hanlon's Razor, so maybe look it up?

it's misused anyhow, just like reddit. imagine that.

you think she get's that $2000? how naive.

What a sad state of affairs that you feel the need to "defend" yourself by claiming you're not conservative. What the hell happened that we can't have differing opinions without making blanket disclaimers?
