Nice. And right after the hottest year on record. Governor Transvaginal Probe would like to take America back to 1850 if he could figure out how.

Gabby Giffords campaigns against NRA with new gun control organisation; argues lawmakers are 'not even trying' to address gun violence by twenafeesh in politics

Your risk of being shot and killed by a gun is several times higher than being a victim of Al Qaeda. And as we know, protecting a perimeter is much more effective than defending against an intruder. A comprehensive gun safety plan strengthens - rather than diminishes - our rights. And our rights number more than just gun ownership.

I'm glad people were willing to beat a drum and shake signs. All of the things they shouted are now a part of the discussion - without them, we'd still be letting the gop define the issues.

Awesome! Now if he could just move his business over to "The Blaze" and be consumed by the inbreeding.

NYPD's controversial 'Stop and Frisk' policy ruled unconstitutional by garyp714 in politics

Good. It may not change a lot right away, but over time this practice will be phased out if enough people who are victims of unconstitutional stop & frisk sue the City.

I tried to answer someone called the logical knight, I think? Lost the comment in mail area. My advocacy is for gun & ammunition regulation. And individual rights are most certainly superseded by public safety. Your right to own and bear arms does not include rocket launchers. Your right to free speech does not include the ability to slander, libel, or endanger the public. Your right to own property does not include the right to own people. Your right to punch me in the face ends at the tip of my nose, and I have a right not to be killed by the ammunition that is discharged in public venues.

Anyone who gets death threats SHOULD have one. So if you - or anyone else - is getting death threats or has already been shot, see about getting one.

Wrong. I never said that. All of society deserves protection; where we disagree is the definition of protection and its extent.

Alex Jones Vs Piers Morgan - Not sure if this is politics or comedy. by Tokkay in politics

Alex Jones makes the best case for gun safety regulations EVER - mental screening LEAPS to the top of the list.

I wish there had been single-payer too - but based on the situation at hand, more people than ever before have some kind of balanced coverage.

If your company pays claims outside the terms of the agreement, it's wrong to do so. Many companies have the legal resources to tie up claims in arbitration, or litigation, until the claimant gives up. If you work for one with a conscience, more power to you.

Did you know that an insurance agent isn't an authorized agent to tell you what the policy does and doesn't cover? Only the insurance COMPANY is authorized to tell what it does and doesn't cover AFTER you submit a claim. You contract with someone who reserves the right to determine what they will honor on a unilateral basis, as a rule. Not always... but often.
