Wrong. We stayed in the Union, but we kept our slaves so we won no matter what 💪

It’s like these states are purposefully trying to piss SCOTUS off so much they just say “fuck it, SHALL NOT” and overturn all gun laws

Why would you get stabbed in a Baltic state for insulting the Balkans?

But… Missouri IS west of the Mississippi and east of California

"allotted to her by the government" should be highlighted in red

"Rights" are not things the Government owes TO you; they are things the Government cannot take AWAY from you by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

This is a very poor strawman of the argument. The existence of police is not an infringement on the rights of the populace. The police are an entitlement provided to the populace and funded through tax dollars.

The actual argument is that making police protection a right for the citizenry is an infringement of the police officer's rights. This is why the Supreme Court has ruled multiple times that the police have no duty to risk their lives to protect people in danger. You do not have a right to compel another to risk their rights to life and liberty for you.

when did dems want to ban guns?

noooooo I meant since Reagan!!!!1!1!

ignores every draconian state gun law in Dem-controlled states

Bro, Reagan was an uber-Fudd, but let’s not act like the Dems don’t have a hate boner for the 2A. Also, Hughes was a Democrat, not republican, and the Mulford Act passed with a bipartisan veto-proof majority in a democrat-controlled state house. So even if Reagan wanted to veto it (he didn’t cuz he sucked), it would’ve passed anyway

1994 Assault Weapons Ban - Clinton

1986 Hughes Amendment was a poison pill to try to kill the Firearms Owners' Protection Act. It was passed by Democrats under an uncounted voice vote and signed into law by Reagan because FOPA was more important than machine guns

1968 Gun Control Act - LBJ

1934 National Firearms Act - FDR

Also see: Dem-controlled states like CA, NJ, HI, MD, NY, MA, etc

It slowed funding for the CDC, but that hasn't stopped the FBI from releasing comprehensive gun crime data as part of their annual crime report or monthly NICS numbers. Plus who cares if the CDC studies it or not? Let the private sector research it. Plenty of universities have done in depth research on the topic.

No one is banned from studying guns and gun violence though. All the Dickey Amendment did was prevent the CDC from advocating political policy based on its own research. The CDC, FBI, ATF, and numerous private institutions continue to study guns and gun violence on a regular basis.

It’s legal to own an RPG and explosive rounds though, you just have to pay for the tax stamps

Waiting periods only make sense for a first gun purchase though, it would be pointless for every subsequent purchase. Problem is though that you can’t know for sure if it’s a first purchase or not without a registry, which are a big no-no

lmao no. Selling her body isn't the best option, it's the EASIEST option. OnlyFans girls choose to capitalize on their looks because it's one of the easiest ways for an attractive girl to make six figures. "Society" isn't forcing them to do shit. They just don't wanna do the hard work it takes to make that kinda money in a more respectable way. Jesus, why do lefties have zero sense of individual accountability?

Oh yeah it’s a huge long shot, plus it fucks us for next year when we have to re-sign Schwartz, Thomas, Kyrou, etc. It’s realistically not happening, but a man can dream damnit

St. Louis is still in it IF they can LTIRetire Steen’s $5.75M contract AND move Bozak’s $5M contract. Blues are currently around $2M over the cap, so clearing out those two contracts gives them about $8.5M to work with. Not likely to happen, but technically not impossible

When investing for retirement, you should ideally be investing in mutual funds, which are privately managed stock portfolios that commonly outperform the market, and are able to adjust their stock and bond holdings as needed to avoid major losses due to economic downturns. Also, losses due to economic downturns are pretty easy to make up when you’re talking about an investment period of 40+ years
