    I just want one election where people don't base their vote on being afraid of losing their guns. If we didn't take away guns after Newtown, we're never going to do it. Dude shot 20 six year-olds like it was the punchline to a Michael Jackson joke and we all just kinda shrugged and said "wasn't my gun."

    Ford is even calling it out... "you're fucking over legal gun owners."

    The recent shooting was all done with illegal guns anyway, and any new legislation would have done nothing to stop it... but you know, jump on the opportunity to jam through shit.

    and my AR-15 is the exact same make and model as the one that piece of shit used. Think about it every time I fire it, which is majorly depressing. Can’t bring myself to sell it though because it’s the first gun I ever bought with my own hard earned money, so it’s a little sentimental. And I shoot it better than anything too.

    still fucking haunts me though. Fortunately bushmaster discontinued the carbon 15 shortly after the massacre. Not sure if it was out of respect or market demand or a combination.

    Since the left has decided not to treat it like a third rail and were full throated about it in the mid terms and Ol' Joe saying he'll nominated two time loser Robert "Hell Yeah we're coming for your guns" O'Rourke to be the gun czar then you're going to be in a for a long wait.


    You want to know how I know you don't hunt?

    Well if you’re going to go big then what you can’t buy, you can make— especially if you’re an insane person with a drive to succeed. Even more especially with all this free time we currently have.

    Hell, I remember a MacGyver episode from when I was a kid that showed you on camera how to make a fertilizer/diesel bomb. So back in the real world, this kid packs one into one of the handlebars of his BMX and two seconds later Murphy’s Law took the wheel and blew his head off. What MacGyver can’t teach, the internet certainly can.

    I'm guessing that was in reference to AR-style rifles being on the list?

    Got my .308 AR-10 exclusively for hunting. My AR-15 has killed more animals than anything I own, outside of maybe my 10/22. Aside from the sometimes weight issue, I'm convinced the AR-style platform is the greatest hunting platform currently on the market.... at least here in the US. Because looks like it won't be on the market anymore in Canada, heh. Although even really with the weight thing, you can build them yourself where they're just as light if not lighter than any bolt action, pump, lever action, or really any rifle outside of maybe a single shot break barrel.

    Not to mention they are very cheap to get. Much more so than say a mini-14 or something. You can spend a ton on them, but a basic one can be had for 500-600 dollars.

    And I give you... literally nothing. As promised.


    He’s fucking retarded. He isn’t even trying anymore, he’s just hoping some shitty miracle keeps him in the White House another four years so he can strengthen up the cult that will inevitably form around him when he’s gone.

    I think it's funny that he's blaming everyone else for helping the dems/free falling poll numbers/potentially costing him the election when there has been so much turnover in his administration and the only real constant has been him. Trump absolutely refuses, or maybe has the inability to see, that he is the problem. Not anyone else.

    And to be fair to everyone who voted for him, I don't think anyone saw him being this bad. Not even his most ardent detractors.

    The Department of Justice is dropping charges against Michael Flynn. Who needs the pardoning power when your Attorney General is this corrupt in the first place?

    This is the second time Barr has overruled career DOJ prosecutors in order to protect a friend of Trump's and then the prosecutors have withdrawn from the case in protest.

    You're forgetting something really important though. Obama once wore a tan suit and Michelle Obama tried to get kids to eat fruit and vegetables. This is like the same thing.

    Yes. Yes we did. Those of us from the NY City area have watched this buffoon for 40 years now. Most of us, except the mindless right wing who would vote for a rock if it had an (R) next to its name, knew exactly how bad this would be. Why do you think he hates us? We’ve held him in disdain forever, and his feelings are hurt.

    He’s been a punchline his entire life, and rightfully so. For four decades I’ve been alive, since having memories I have known him as the “Loudmouth, Spoiled Asshole”. I’m impressed the country isn’t on fire, truthfully. Considering every single aspect of him adds up to “schmuck”.

    Never forget: his casinos went bankrupt. And that, my friends, is the Art Of The Deal: fucking up something where you get money for nothing.

    It’s because they were used to launder money.
