I’ll give you a chance to fix/edit your post…what exactly do you think “well regulated” meant in the late 1700s? I’ll give you a hint: A clock that was in good working order was seen as “well regulated”.

A Sandy Hook could have could have happened before 2012…and there were plenty of shootings before then as well, but yet you didn’t change your mind until after 2012? Also how did the availability of guns change in the recent years before Sandy Hook? Just curious how that all made you change your mind unless it was your emotions that caused you to form a different opinion.

That’s not what I would call then “extreme conviction”. It’s not like the Second Amendment has changed in the last 10 years. But since you’ve mentioned it personally. How has your view on the 2A changed and why did you change?

This is a good thing, even if it temporarily sucks for those living in IL (though they can always move, which would be smart). I imagine this will be immediately challenged, especially with the Bruen SCOTUS ruling, and should be eventually overturned.

The same guy who once said he was a staunch supporter of the 2A suddenly now says he supports more gun control laws? So much extreme conviction…

Once again, the ATF gets called out on their unconstitutional bans. Hopefully the FRT is soon to follow. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-appeals-court-strikes-down-ban-bump-stocks-2023-01-07/

Well if your business (CNN) model is mostly based on how Trump is a bad guy and 6 Jan 21 was a violent attempt to overthrow the government, then this is the guy you hire. Oh and then there’s this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/markjoyella/2022/12/15/the-five-leads-fox-news-to-big-win-in-2022-cable-news-ratings-as-cnn-msnbc-have-worst-years-ever/?sh=57c51fec42c0

Who gets to determine if it’s a “waste”? Clearly enough people don’t see it the same way as you since they’re more than willing to pay the fare.

I thought you were talking about how bad it was for a man to abandon his child…well, it’s the same thing a woman does when she leaves an infant on the door step of a fire station.

Women can abandon their newborns without persecution…they’re called Safe Haven Laws. All I ask is that men have the same rights as women. We can discuss the morality piece separately if you’d like. https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/parenting/2019/09/13/safe-haven-laws-things-you-didnt-know-surrendering-newborn/2031516001/

Morally it’s sickening, I agree with you. But the reality is that this (partially) is what’s happening. So if nothing else, call people out for their hypocrisy…and there’s plenty of it to go around.

Gotcha…so once again, progressives prove that abortion has nothing to do with choice. Dave Chappelle said it best when he said if women can kill the baby then the man should be able to abandon them.

Does every state that legalizes abortion also have this “paper abortion” process for males? And if so, is it as easy as going into a clinic pregnant and leaving a few hours later not pregnant?

This is a good thing. After all, we lost Afghanistan because we masked advanced degrees during two different eras while engaged in OIF.

How to make something go from bad to worse.

Well, the TVA (or somebody?) decided that it was ok to turn off the power to people’s homes but not for an NFL football game. Now I’m not so naive to think that there aren’t large differences between killing someone’s power at their home during rolling blackouts vs having to reschedule an entire NFL game, but the optics aren’t good. https://www.breitbart.com/sports/2022/12/25/wow-thats-ridiculous-outraged-tennesseans-endure-blackouts-freezing-temps-while-titans-nissan-stadium-remains-fully-powered/

And yet hardly anything today about it on the “mainstream” news.

The left won’t even use the term illegal immigrant/alien, even though 15-25 years ago they did…so, I think that’s your answer.

He’s gone

If you’re for seatbelt mandates and not for banning motorcycles then your hypocrisy is showing. And last I checked, you can still wear a seatbelt even if the government didn’t make it punishable by law if you don’t wear one.

So Biden literally colluded with Russia for political gain…

The dude literally was speaking in generalities about felons being able to reintegrate into our society by getting a job they would have been able to get before their felony…so I asked him if he would be ok with hiring a certain kind of a felon for a certain kind of job. Not sure if you know what a strawman is, but asking a question within the bounds of the general argument is not a strawman. Had he had only said “I’m ok with pilots who are convicted felons going back to flying commercial airplanes” and I reply “So you must be ok with hiring a convicted child molester to watch your kids”…then that would have been a strawman.

You/your spouse has never paid someone to watch your children…like a baby sitter? Do you homeschool as well? If so, good on you…but most people have allowed their children at one point or another to be in the care of someone else who is not a close friend/family member. And I don’t know anyone who would be ok with allowing a convicted murderer, rapists, or child molester to be in care of their children. Likewise I think we can find adequate applicants, who have not been convicted of violent crimes, to professionally fly planes with passengers.
