watch liberal hacks.

The news shows that I watch have prominent Republicans participating,
including one who was chairman of the RNC. None of them can stand what
Trump is doing to their party. There are also a number of other
Republicans who have come out in support of Biden, including ex-cabinet officiers.

I would say that those alleged Republicans breaking away are self centered and are only are thinking of themselves. If true; they are idiots for doing so because it's still very premature. They don't realize that they will have to answer to the Republican constituents that got them to Washington, D.C., specially when Biden loses.

What are these folks (the alleged Republicans, whom are riden w/biden) suggesting that Trump did, that would of caused them to go to the darkside.

Yes the DNC is very much the darkside, it is place and or it can be a set of ideas that suggest America should be shunned and be apologetic within the
U.S. and around the world. It does not like walls, it would have no police departments, no accountability for crimes. It's true just look at Democratic Cities within Our Nation. Several are a disaster.

The Democratic Party is a mess and they are repeating the same mistakes from 2016. All they do is complain about the other side, they have not indicated
any agenda or what they would do differently.

Joe Biden said he would "unite this country," but to me that's vague. He hasn't said -how- he would unite us. And on that sour note, I'm not in favor of being "united" anyway. In a country like this, we've always had division over policies, and the only the Communist Party could change that.

Why do you think that they were elected to DC? I see a moderate number
of prominent Republican strategists who have supported the campaigns of previous Republicans for President and for other offices. These are the
people who work behind the scenes to help a candidate get elected. They
are honest people, unlike the number of of people involved in the Trump campaign who are now convicted felons or charged with a felony.

A former Republican Secretary of State spoke in support of Biden during
the Democratic convention. The former chairman of the Republican
National Committee is a frequent commentator speaking against Trump.

What are these folks (the alleged Republicans, whom are riden w/biden) suggesting that Trump did, that would of caused them to go to the darkside.

How about more than 20,000 lies in 3 1/2 years. How about frequent
disregard for the law, including during the Republican Convention. A
small sample of reasons can be found by going to the website makeamericagreat.com .

The Democratic Party is a mess and they are repeating the same

Actually Biden has published much of what he would do. It was the
Republicans who spent much of their convention complaining about the
other side and who did not present any agenda nor platform.

Hello Kostie,

Now that HAS to be a troll.

I am being serious. The 2nd Amendment is poorly written,
and also totally understood. Furthermore, after about 1980
the courts misinterpreted it to something else entirely.

The amendment is not about the right to bear arms, but "a
well regulated militia" having "the right of the people to
bear arms". Kind of like those in the militia having the
right to bear arms, as part of that militia. The state
controls the militia. Individuals who are part of the
militia have the right to bear arms while those outside
of the militia do not have the same right.

That is how the courts viewed it, up until about 1980.
Then the courts turned to extreme right-wing interpretations.
Which is why there is so much out of control crime these
days.

Hoo boy. There's just so much to cover here, that I'll just stick with a basic premise:

Firearms function as a force equalizer - no more and no less.

As such, the solution to present issues is neither to arm everyone, nor to disarm everyone, as neither of those solutions have anything at all to do with the root issues.

Further, there are benefits to allowing civilian armaments, and the level to which a state allows such can be an important barometer of several political realities.

If you can see and accept the above premises we can have a further conversation, but if not we're not likely to be able to have a discussion on the matter that does not end up at lease somewhat emotionally motivated.

Misinterpreting the 2nd Amendment to make it easier for gun
manufacturers to sell their product is what the issue is all
about.

Limiting who is allowed to buy or own guns limits the
number of guns that can be sold. The more guns sold means
more profit for the gun manufacturers. No matter how many
innocent people get killed by those guns that are sold.

If you can follow and agree to the premise that firearms only function as a force equalizer, what the second amendment does or does not say and what you think it should or should not say is a completely irrelevant discussion.

I live in Canada where restrictive changes HAVE been made, and the data after a couple decades of that experiment show that firearm restrictions have very little to no effect on overall violent crime, homicide, or suicide numbers. Sure, if you remove enough guns you'll reduce the number of people *shot* but that does not equate to reducing the number of people *killed* The latter is a far more important measure in my mind, and requires systemic cultural changes rather than simple band-aid solutions like gun control.

Anyone who's been shown that reality and instead chooses to focus on the guns means an individual either cannot think logically, or has a political agenda to push that benefits from dishonest language.

Once upon a time, Japan had no guns. Samurai armed with swords,
serving their shogun. Then Japan had guns. Samurai armed with guns,
serving their shogun. Not liking the result, Japan returned to no
guns, samurai serving their shogun. White came to visit shogun.
Samurai having no guns never had a chance. Shogun not happy.

Guns are manufactured to kill people. Guns do not care who they
kill. And neither do the people who use those guns to kill.

Guns are not a "force equalizer", but a weapon of terror.

There are more public mass shootings in the USA than in any other
country in the world.

Why is that?

Americans own nearly half (46%) of the estimated 857 million
civilian-owned guns worldwide.

India is second, at 71 million.

About 66% of US gun owners own multiple guns.

About 61% of gun deaths in the USA are suicides.

Guns are manufactured to kill people. Usually people who want
to kill themselves, rather than others.

Of course, only one gun is all that is really needed to off oneself.
Along with one bullet.

Personally, I like the Japanese way. No gun, or bullet, required.

I live in Canada where restrictive changes HAVE been made, and the data
after a couple decades of that experiment show that firearm restrictions
have very little to no effect on overall violent crime, homicide, or
suicide numbers.

If someone is intent on killing himself, he is going to find a way
to do it. Even if it kills him. Same if someone is intent on killing
someone else. But most kill themselves before they kill someone else.

Sure, if you remove enough guns you'll reduce the number of people *shot*
but that does not equate to reducing the number of people *killed*

Kind of hard to do a mass shooting with a knife. Columbine would
never have happened if those two kids had been armed only with knives.
Or at Parkland, where scores of other students were murdered.

The latter is a far more important measure in my mind, and requires systemic
cultural changes rather than simple band-aid solutions like gun control.

Japan banned guns, that ban lasting for about a century, before
having to re-introduce it after the White Man made his appearance.
Japan later went to war against Russia, attacked Pearl Harbor, and
invaded much of the Pacific. Today, not many folks in Japan own a
gun. Which is why gun violence in Japan has a death rate of 0.04
per 100,000.

Anyone who's been shown that reality and instead chooses to focus on the
guns means an individual either cannot think logically, or has a political agenda to push that benefits from dishonest language.

I am basing my comments on data and reports that can be easily
verified. One of those sources is the 2018 Switzerland-based Small
Arms Survey (SAS) report. Another source is humanoshpere.org.
But there are other sites that confirm the same thing.

Either way, you should view said individual with extreme caution when
approaching the ballot booth.

Umm, Ok. That's kind of exactly what my point is - the implement is the last thing you should be looking at if you actually want to affect change. Changing access to implements without addressing root causes doesn't actually change anything.

Mass *shooting* yes, mass *killing* no. There's mass stabbing and killings with other bladed weapons ALL THE DAMN TIME in the world. We've fairly recently seen a mass murder rivaling any shooting conducted with nothing more than a rental truck.

If you don't like guns, that's fine. But arguing that somehow changing the second amendment in the US is going to stop all the issues with violence is *at best* just a waste of energy that's far better spent nearly anywhere else. There's major cultural, socio-economic, media, political, and mental health access issues that do *actually* need attention and would *actually* pay dividends.

Hello Kostie,

There are more public mass shootings in the USA than in any other >LL>country in the world.

Do you care about shootings, or killings? They lead in civilian involved
shootings, but barely register in terms of overall violent crime or mass killings as a whole.

Japan has 0.04 deaths per 100,000 people killed by guns.
That pales in comparison with how many people in the USA
who are killed by guns.

There are more public mass shootings in the USA than in any other
country in the world. There is a reason why. That reason is easy
access to guns. No real rules of any kind. Want a gun? Go to a gun
show. No need for any background check. Or anything at all. Just
tell the salesman you are old enough to buy one. That should do it.
Assuming you've got the cash to buy it. Not sure if any of those
dealers allow for buying on credit ...

About 66% of US gun owners own multiple guns.

And? Completely irrelevant to anything.

The more guns, and ammo to go with those guns, the more people
that can be killed. Remember, there are more public mass shootings
in the USA than in any other country in the world.

That's equivalent to changing a discussion about driving age to how many
cars are in a household.

Americans love their guns. The more the merrier.

Data being related does not make it relevant.

Well, it is far easier, and faster, to grab another (preloaded) gun
than it is to reload. Especially when shooting at a large crowd.

Guns are manufactured to kill people. Usually people who want
to kill themselves, rather than others.
Of course, only one gun is all that is really needed to off oneself. >LL>Along with one bullet.

Some people are born killers. That is what they do. Kind of like
their life's calling. And when their task has been completed, they
always save one last bullet for themself. Except a few, who either
didn't count right, or chickened out when it came to the end.

If someone is intent on killing himself, he is going to find a way
to do it. Even if it kills him. Same if someone is intent on killing >LL>someone else. But most kill themselves before they kill someone else.

Umm, Ok. That's kind of exactly what my point is - the implement is the last
thing you should be looking at if you actually want to affect change. Changing access to implements without addressing root causes doesn't
actually change anything.

Why did a white kid walk into a black church in South Carolina
and mow down a bunch of black people saying their prayers? What
kind of change did he have in mind? After the cops showed up, he
gave himself up without a fight. Now he is likely to be executed.

Did that make black churches any safer for black folks to pray in?
No. Did that stop white racists from murdering black folks in cold
blood? No. Did that change society's view on the death penalty?
No.

So why have a 2nd Amendment? What does it accomplish?

Kind of hard to do a mass shooting with a knife. Columbine would

Mass *shooting* yes, mass *killing* no.

People who get shot as opposed to some other way usually die.

There's mass stabbing and killings with other bladed weapons ALL THE DAMN
TIME in the world.

The difference being more who are shot die rather than those who
were not.

We've fairly recently seen a mass murder rivaling any shooting conducted
with nothing more than a rental truck.

A rental truck is not a suicide bomber. Although a suicide bomber
can be viewed as a mass murderer.

If you don't like guns, that's fine. But arguing that somehow changing the
second amendment in the US is going to stop all the issues with violence is *at best* just a waste of energy that's far better spent nearly anywhere else.

You're right, people in other states have different plans and

Maybe Obama was looking out for the medical industry when he enacted it, to reduce the # of uninsured people the hospitals have to care for. But I have a friend who makes little money as a cashier at a gas station, and he pays that penalty every year because it's cheaper than the gas station's health insurance.

of prominent Republican strategists who have supported the campaigns of previous Republicans for President and for other offices. These are the people who work behind the scenes to help a candidate get elected.

Yeah support is fine, but these people can not win their bid without the vote from the people.

The Democratic Party is a mess and they are repeating the same mistakes from 2016. All they do is complain about the other side, the have not indicated any agenda or what they would do differently.

Actually Biden has published much of what he would do.

From the NY POST
Joe Biden signed the death warrant for his campaign last week, even if he doesn't know it. The joint manifesto he released with Bernie Sanders is 110 pages of radical far-left policies - from a job-killing $2 trillion climate agenda to eliminating cash bail and dismantling border protection.

Japan has 0.04 deaths per 100,000 people killed by guns.

Most of which are suicides.

You are mixed up. It is Trump who only thinks of himself. The people I mentioned are thinking about the American people and America.

Which people of those, the Republicans who are riden with biden. These people might need your help, because when Trump wins in November the Republican constituents (voters) who those in office will be pissed. Please don't surprised when these people lose their jobs, due to being voted out of office.

None of the ones I am aware of are running for office at the current
time, although one of them was elected to the post of Lt. Governor
before he became the chairman of the RNC.

Trump didn't need to run for President, he did so out of desire
because the country has been going in the wrong direction.

Others, including some close to Trump, have said that he never expected
to win but rather just hoped to boost his business interests. I don't
put a lot of credibility in that statement. But then, who can really
know what goes on in his mind from day to day.

If Trump has thought only of himself, then why is the President
donating his salary every quarter?

Because money is not all that important to him -- power and self
approval is what he craves.

Stared off at a good neutral point but then the needle leaned left with your comment who know what goes through his mind, your not paying attention.
What goes through his mind is carried out for the benefit of all Americans.

I would disagree with that statement, but everyone wants to be respected. Before he ran for the Presidency, nearly everyone respected Donald Trump. Republicans and Democrats alike. including the African-American civil
leaders.

Andrew Cuomo should be arrested on the grounds of a treasonous threat, suggesting to Donald Trump, don't come to NY, never-mind bodyguards you will need an army. He has one of those by the way.

Hello Greg,

Repealing the 2nd Amendment would help.

Now that HAS to be a troll.

You have no idea of how Right you are Kostie.

John Paul Stevens, retired Justice of the Supreme Court, claimed
it best to repeal the Second Amendment. Imagine that. A Republican.
Died at age 99 last July. Said it was misinterpreted by the Court
back in 2008 and the only solution now is to repeal it.

Stevens was one of the four dissenting Justices in the 2008 ruling
that changed the meaning of the amendment.
