Cheaper, easier, faster to just give illegals right to vote.
I would watch Virginia, the governor stopped short of sending a modern equivalent of Black Dave into the Shenandoah Valley against all the sheriff's and shelved the idea. He might bring this back up with JOHO&Co now in charge and decide to send some sort of ersatz UNSSU out into the country to enforce his laws, if so I would say things are going to get bad.
To hope is to wish for something better and earnestly believe it can happen. False hope would then be to not sincerely wish for something better to happen. That's not what I'm about.... I have a hope that good and just can prevail. It's not a false hope, that's for sure.
I know the reality of the situation, but I won't give in to it as a foregone conclusion. I won't concede the dems or fascists or communists are absolutely going to succeed in enslaving us to their horrors. It MAY happen, but I don't believe it's written in stone.
There is my "hope"; not false. Tempered with reality; it has to be. But I won't surrender my wish; for things to be better and for our liberties to endure. Sometimes our hope is all we have; dark times, but to endure.
My hope also is that the Democrats remain true to themselves; self-serving, greedy, and corrupt. Beating them is not the goal; allowing them to beat themselves is.

Remember the first civil war started in Virginia, the second may start there also
They are going to try to abolish the electoral college this will be a total game changer if they can pull it off. We are not working with reasonable people only people that will do anything to win. I realize that it will take a 2/3rds vote to change, but they have the machines that can be programmed and the poll workers that will insure their victory.
Being dragged out.What do you "offer them" in round two of negotiations? [Because... there will be a round two... and three... and four...].
You still think voting matters. That’s cute.They barely hold a majority and centrists are up for reelection in 2 years.
We shall see if they are suicidal.
LMAOAs long as TP is available everything will be just fine.
No, it actually stemmed from a conversation with Ben at one point. Fighting for not one more inch does nothing to create a net gain. UBCs aren’t going to realistically stop private transfers that need to be stopped...transfers to prohibited persons, for example. Serializing an 80% receiver won’t stop 3D printed polymer lowers...the magic smoke is out of the box, it ain’t going back in.
But if you want a net gain, you’ve got to be willing to accept something to get what you want in return, otherwise we have statis quo Mexican standoffs forever that eventual result in more inches given, specifically because precedent, going back to the before the birth of this nation, states .gov reserves the power to regulate RKBA, just like peaceable assembly and freedom of speech.
The only thing I have against a background check is the fee. I'm actually used to them being a CA transplant.
Transferring primers in a parking lot..... Felony.There are a couple of problems here. The GOP doesn't have the will to do this. They'd rather just pretend to play defenders of the 2A when they're a minority party. Other than a few vocal examples in Congress, most of the Republicans don't seem to really care enough about guns to make them a policy issue they want to advance. They want to do the needful to get their NRA ratings and that's about it.
The Democrats are out for blood, especially after 4 years of Trump. They feel the fury of righteous indignation and the need to right these many perceived wrongs.
The private party background checks in CA were simply horrid. $100 fee where you had to pay DROS and sales tax on a used fire arm plus a 10 day wait. No fekking thank you to that ever again. You know this of course. I see nothing redeeming about them at all.
If the Democrats have their way, we'll get to go through a background check for the primers you bought for me earlier this year.
Sorry, but I have to disagree. Conservatives have been compromising since the 60's, and that is why we are in such a mess today.No, it actually stemmed from a conversation with Ben at one point.

Only as bad as you allow.
