Even a so-called dumb Alabama redneck kin tell a libtard, "No, thet thar AR on ther side of an AR-15 rifle don't stand fer no diddly-squat "assault rifle." So quit a-sayin' sech stupid shee-it. Thet thar "AR" means ArmaLite Rifle, yuh dumb as a brick son of a bird-brained pecker-wood!"
A semiautomatic rifle can't be classified as an assault rifle because it can only shoot one time per trigger pull.
Now one of those bumper stocks can convert a semiautomatic into a hand-held machine gun. being a full automatic the essence of an assault weapon.
But here in The Gulch me dino is preaching to the choir. Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's just a "so to speak," y'all. So don't all yuh atheists go git yer panties in a wad.
Explain what I just wrote ter some whack-job lib and I'll bet a dollar ter a doughnut thet he/she/it or whutever fits will just turn right around and jabber on about AR-15s being assault weapons.

    "There are health care collectives already ... just a tiny fraction of the expense of the ACA"
    I know. I dropped my ACA-compliant plan starting this year. We are in a cost-sharing plan that has no formal contract but shields us from the penalty. I love it not for what it is but because it causes providers to grow a brain. No matter how high our deductible, providers used to tell us to ask our insurance. Now they understand we're bringing money in, and they use common sense. "Oh, you're using your own money? Really? Well then don't come back unless the problem comes back, and if it comes back in the same form within 12 months I can call in a prescription free of charge." Yes! We get better pricing than the so-callled negotiated rate through DeanCare.

    Had to wade through lots n' lots of tweets about people getting busted for child porn to get to anything.
    Also noticed her saying 2018 will be a great year~ due to Sessions, I gather. We'll see..

    There are health care collectives already ... just a tiny fraction of the expense of the ACA. And the nuns don't have to get the abortion coverage if they don't want it.

    You can tap out a bump fire stock. At 50 yards I can get 3 on a sheet of typing paper. My range banned them before I could get back to try it our again. Apparently the neighbors got scared.

    I'm worried about that. My pistol has a pistol grip, takes removable magazines and looks scary as hell. It looks like something Robocop would carry ... in the shower.

    I also own a 9mm carbine. The Liberty 100 is probably Diane Feinstein's worst nightmare as it comes STANDARD with a 100 rd. magazine. In fact, there ISN'T an upgrade.

    Since Donald HASN'T bounced Jeffy, you might want to re-think their relationship.

    You're a straight shooting kind of guy. You don't get all fancy with the palace intrigue.
    And that's why you are not incredibly wealthy and the most powerful man in history.

    Read Attorney Liu's tweets and let them sink in.

    OMG! Watch out how you write God around here.
    Some of the more uptight aethists must think they'll go "poof" into a dust cloud or maybe melt.
    Since my god ain't Apollo I capitalize my Creator with a big G.
    Uh, what did I just write? Aw, who cares? No, y'all, me dino ain't pushing religion.
    I'm just being my mean 'ole nasty dino me.
    Bwahaha!

    Gee whiz, sorry if you get you nose out of joint if someone puts in the word god. That is what I call my creator...it does say creator in the document, you are correct...but to me that is what it is. Methinks you are a little sensitive about this?!

    But lets get to your response. You contradicted you own argument in your second sentence when you used the term dangerous. Yes, they were also thrifty and didn't want to pay. Hell they never paid the property owner at Valley forge the rent they owed. But the bottom line is that they didn't want to risk a despot having power over them...Because they just threw one off! I am sorry if you are willing to risk being a slave and have no means of ameliorating your plight....I do not.

    Don't agree with you about the founding fathers thinking a standing army was a threat to individual freedom. They were against the professional armies of dictators as being costly and dangerous. It really didn't have much to do with freedom to them. And while it may be just semantics to you, please do not refer to a God given right. The founding fathers were careful not to use God. These rights are endowed by "their Creator", which was a practical political concession not terribly in keeping with their thinking. This was a very big point to people like Jefferson and Adams, et al. They were increasingly looking to Nature, not a supernatural being, as the source for their philosophy. As a Randian, you should know better. Keep god out of it.

    They didn't want a standing army because it was a threat to individual freedom. Northern aggression in The Civil war actually proves that that they were correct in fearing such a standing army. The fact that the government has taken arms to an even higher level does not mean that the citizens do not have a right...[given by God mind you...not the constitution]...to be armed to protect themselves from that government.

    Little Jeffery needs to be sent home to Alabama where he shall hopefully reside nowhere near me.
    I'll never vote for him for anything ever again.
    Same goes for craven career politician Richard Shelby. I've voted for him a few times (over Dems~not same party challengers) despite his showing me his conniving yellow streak when I was a reporter during the 70s.
    Things this coward said about the already defamed Roy Moore was the final straw.
    I'll vote for no one if I must to avoid voting for RINO Richard. .

    Nunes and Grassley have turned up the pressure on him.

    You've probably forgotten, but the reason for the 2nd Amendment was because our Founding Fathers did not want a standing army, rather leaving it to civilians to defend their homeland. Inda obviates the need for a civilian army given we now have nukes.

    Well that is the main purpose and that is why we need them. To protect our lives and property from the government. You may have forgotten....the founders who wrote the constitution overthrew by force of arms, the legitimate and legal British administration in the colonies. They sure as hell weren't going to allow only the government to have all the weapons.

    I'm only vaguely following this, which I think is because you're describing something that makes no sense.
    Nam-----Nationality-----Ethnicity------------------Race
    TM-------US------------ - African American------African
    GZ-------US-------------- Jewish/Peruvian-------50% European 25% Indigenous to the Americas 25% African
    Just that chart shows how the world is becoming global and the racial, ethnic, national identities are getting blended up. It started with ship navigation methods, it go faster with jet travel, and with digital communication it's quickly becoming history.

    I actually don't understand if you're saying reporters wanted GZ to be guilty so they used race or if they wanted race to be the primary issue, so they used GZ.

    I don't get this stuff at all. I got it when I read Bartolomé de las Casas when I was learning Spanish back in college. Europeans figured out navigation. They would soon find a reliable way to calculated longitude. The world was changing. I get that we're living with the echos of all that. Maybe it's because I'm so introverted and because I've never experienced racism. I know it's still a huge problem. I sort of get it because where I live it's mostly people of German and Asian ancestry. But most people travel so much today that it's hard to understand.

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think this is stupid on the part of reporters who view it this way. Racism is a real and serious problem, but not every problem has a racial component.

    My point in using the term is that these people change words to suit their narrative. When Travon Martin was shot by a guy who was half Jewish and half Peruvian....both recognized minorities....the press called him a white Hispanic because as we all know only racist evil white people would hunt down and shoot an innocent black male.

    Why do I imagine I'm looking in on the Rachael Maddow Show?
    Think my record for holding the TV remote tolerance lasted about two whole minutes one time.

    " Democrats passing the unaffordable Affordable Health Care Act to see what's in it."
    Then it turns out to include market-oriented reforms that started in Republican think tanks. But it's all nonsense, so Republicans try to pass their own gov't healthcare bill without lawmakers reading it or debating it. When it fails, they dick with ACA in way that may lead to more socialism in medicine, although the outcome remains to me seen. I'm hopeful Amazon and other companies will bypass the whole thing and find ways to bring together buyers and producers of healthcare, obviating the whole government mess.

    Sessions. Just roll over Joshing Jeff and leave that recuser behind.
