    It doesn't look like the EOs will be on the Federal Registry for a few more days so I haven't seen them to actually read them yet, but they all sound like feel-good nonsense that they were already doing. Nominating a gun banner to head the ATF and telling him to go ban guns is no surprise to anyone. Even the nitwits that are going to act surprised by it...



    Me too. I'm 99% positive this is coming and they're just choosing a careful time to make it a political punishment against whatever country they want to finger wag at. Imports are very nearly the only thing the president alone can take action on.
    One thing good that comes of this. We can all see what a schmuck Merrick Garland is. It took McConnell being a partisan ******* but bottom line, another gun hating ********** is not on the bench.

    None of those safety standards make it harder to buy a car, or prevent certain people from buying cars. Nor do they restrict features, size, weight, speed, or power of cars (indeed cars have gotten significantly faster and more powerful over the years) They do nothing to prevent cars from being used as weapons, or to commit crimes. They don't prevent a 5 year old from starting the car when he gets a hold of his dad's keys (hell modern cars are even easier for kids to start, you just push a button on the dashboard)

    In fact every single safety regulation is geared toward preventing accidental deaths due to operator error or equipment failure while at high speeds, and that is something guns have never had a big problem with
    The 2nd highest category in gun deaths behind suicide is accidental deaths. But unlike cars, you can’t really make guns a lot safer.

    I shouldn't joke, but I'm not that one that stuck a sick old puppet out there as a front man. He should have been retired a decade ago.
    Should rename it as ASS. I’ll leave the words that gow with it to someone else.

    Impressed but missing the reason why you posted this.
    Because you implied that “gun violence being a public health crisis” is just obvious to anyone that has the ability to think critically. The root causes are mental health, general disrespect and the collapse of the American family. Don’t care to impress you, just want to make sure the critical thinking “gene” isn’t limited to the Liberal side of the equation. Blaming any inanimate object for human behavior isn’t “critical thinking” with regards to the violence problem.

    FIRST, I’m not saying the same should apply to firearms. We clear? Ok.

    “Democrats” don’t need to ties themselves into knots over vehicle accidents. Vehicles are highly regulated, and that does not appear to be something that’s is going to slow down. Can you think of how much car safety standards have changed in say the past 50 years?
    You really brought up the democrats argument that cars are regulated but not guns lol. So even though something still kills as many people because it's 'regulated' then it's not a problem anymore.

    I don't recall the media and democrats tying themselves in knots over cars when deaths are usually approximate or even exceed gun deaths. Gun deaths of all types in a population of 330M is .01%, not a public health crisis. Our gun deaths remain fairly stable over time, there was a spike throughout the 80's, went down through the 90's and 2000's and had an increase in 2014 but it looks like it was starting to come back down. If it was really about gun deaths they would try to tackle suicides.
    ABS requirements
    Seat belt requirements
    Speed limit laws
    Targeted enforcement
    Speed cameras
    Intersection warning lights
    Grooves down the center and edge lines

    Accidental comes in 4th, at least per the CDC for 2018. Suicide 23,854, homicide 14,542, "legal intervention" 616, accidental 486, undetermined intent 338. To put that in comparison, there were over 40k deaths by automobile accidents and 3709 accidental drownings.

    I don't know you, but I think, you're trying to be as nice as you can. So that's appreciated and reciprocated. We shall simply agree to disagree. And trust, it's difficult for me to walk away.
