That doesn't just mean physically your skin, though its inevitable one day brown dominates the landscape, I'm speaking more culturally. The white Male perspective has been the only one that's mattered for so long its dominated every instance of our social, political, and economic lives. But technology is increasingly demolishing those barriers that have barred other voices from lending their prespective to those issues. This country has always been typically conservative even when managed previously by Democrats and that is simply not the case anymore. What's worse is conservatism isn't even popular or appealing to anyone but the dwindling population of angry white men who want to keep things the way they've always been. You guys are going to look around one day real soon and realize culturally, you're not the majority and that's going to reverberate politically and economically in ways you probably aren't going to like very much. :shrug:

You guys? You seem confused, I am not a Conservative, and not do I have any issues with race.

It's not about having issues with race. It's just a fact that there's a social and cultural shift going that's going to influence and change politics, economics and American society as a whole. How could it not?

There's nothing extreme about it: it's a perfectly natural assumption to make when someone fervently calls for a "solution," but refuses to explain how that solution will solve what he claims it will solve, and even so, goes on to accuse you of not caring about dead children because you don't agree with his solution.

How do you "have an argument" with someone like that?

I don't have any idea what you're talking about. But apparently the turtle boy likes it. So, good job, I guess?

Congress writes the laws, the ATF enforces them... Just like they enforced the assault weapons ban we had that expired.. Playing dumb can be costly..

the ATF is the regulatory agency on firearms.
they have defined what an assault rifle is and what it is not.
and AR15 is not an assault rifle.

this is a fact.

The second amendment says a lot of things. It also says the right to bear arms shall not be infringed and yet we've infringed the hell out of it. If you think words on a document over 200 years old is going protect you like some impregnable force field you're even more niave than I imagined. :lamo

which only shows that the courts are not doing what they are supposed to be doing which is defending the constitution and the rights of the people.

Where has the ATF defined assault rifle?
 
TurtleDude said:
when people constantly say things need to be banned, without ever explaining why-they are trolling. When someone constantly pretends that demanding people register firearms will stop crime while ignoring the fact that criminals cannot even be prosecuted for failing to register guns-they really don't care about crime control. One poster-for example-claims that AR 15s were Designed for HEAVY COMBAT and that is why they should be banned, but denies that the MI Carbine (issued to over 5 million US soldiers and marines) is a "weapon of war" --that level of dishonesty isn't conducive to rational debate

The fact is-when people cannot explain why the laws they want will actually reduce crime and dismiss assertions that the laws will harass lawful gun owners, I think it is pretty obvious that politics, not public safety motivates their position.

Yeah, nothing you said has anything to do with me. You can take your apparent grudge wherever it belongs.

On that we do not disagree, if it will be for the better is to be seen, the racial makeup is inevitable and causes me no concern, political is another story, depends how far the shift goes, extremes don't tend to work out well for anyone

Don't know them well, I also find some react to how they have been treated, but I will see for myself, one always reveals their true nature in the long run, they may surprise you.
 
The mod is apparently grumpy about something he didn't quote, so I'll back out.

Or else consequences! :lol:

This post cracked me up.

Funny stuff.

Let me guess, you are informed. LOl

It's the way practically every gun control debate goes around here.

Somebody says something like "we need to ban assault weapons!!!"

We respond with something like, "how will that save lives....what's so special about assault weapons, specifically?"

They answer: "You care more about your guns than about children's lives. You're an evil Trumptard!!1"

And so on.

So your argument is at least we're not Mexico?
Click to expand...

Based on the murder rate numbers, we're about 15% Mexico. And lo-and-behold, our population is about 15% of Mexican descent.

Trying to compare us to the entirety of Europe, which includes non 1st world countries is disingenuous at best and even then with the size of populations you're talking about thousands of more dead Americans than Europe. And you plan to counter gun protestors with at least we're not Mexico or Russia? :lamo:lamo:lamo

Someone has never been to Mississipi, Lousiana, or East LA. 100% of the US is not as "1st world" as Germany. On the other hand, there are plenty of non-1st-world countries in Europe with lower murder rates than some of those that are 1st world. Are you suggesting that Russian and Poland are not civilized?

In other words, "1st world" is a stupid red-herring.

If you want an accurate comparison, compare to more wealthy nations. The United States gets our proverbial butt kicked.

Cool fantasy. You’re not getting our AR’s. 2/3rds of Americans can get off their fat asses and come try. [emoji2369]

Exactly - and it's so sad that politicians indebted to the NRA and their Russian money, could care less. it's time for Americans to starting voting these jokers out. There is nothing constitutional about Assault Weapons.

LOL... Just about every federal statute starts with a section called definitions... Wonder why that is....... Congress defines what is and is not prohibited...
