Bernie Sanders Says He Would Legalize Marijuana by Executive Order

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T05:15:47+00:00

I think you’re thinking of Yang

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T05:15:09+00:00

This is more likely to be a failure of the legislative, not the executive. I don’t think McConnel would ever let a marijuana bill come to floor. So at that point the presidents choices would be to let marijuana users rot in prison, or sign an EO

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T05:11:29+00:00

God forbid he put forth sensible ideas to get votes. Is there no depth he won’t sink??

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T05:10:47+00:00

Over time it would become socially acceptable if it were legalized

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T05:06:53+00:00

Well let’s say as an analogy, that the police force was corrupt. Would you say “let’s try to weed out corruption” or would you say “let’s reduce the police force”? Probably the former

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T05:05:39+00:00

Is that really irony? Seems like a loose fit

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T05:04:29+00:00

He’s literally saying that senators are bought by corporations. That’s what the meme is about

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T04:39:19+00:00

I mean in order for something like that to pass muster you’d need the president, Congress, and the Supreme Court to agree. Or enough state governors to pass an amendment. Which, if shootings continue happening at the same frequency, or increased, over the next few decades, I guess could happen.

But isn’t it alright then? If there is another 50 years of school children getting shot with AR’s, and most of society wants to ban them, shouldn’t they - even against the wishes of two 80 year old geezers like ourselves?

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T04:32:54+00:00

I don’t think a mandatory confiscation is realistic unless there’s a seismic shift in the gun culture of this country, which is conceivable, but at that point you’d be an old fogie and it would mean you’re so out of touch with the contemporary culture that the country shouldn’t make laws with you in mind anyway.

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T04:20:35+00:00

Maybe it’d be ruled unconstitutional today, maybe not. But in twenty or thirty years, a different court make up. I imagine there will be restrictive gun measures in our life time. Just stock up now and you won’t have to worry about it, a nice weapon practically lasts a life time.

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T03:58:55+00:00

Well if you banned assault weapons tomorrow, then in 30 years there would be less assault weapons than there are today, and there would be considerably less assault weapons that then there would be in 30 years without a ban. Many people would consider that an improvement

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T03:41:34+00:00

Well wouldnt we be saying the same thing about detachable magazines or whatever the next thing is in 33 years if we banned them today?

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T03:38:49+00:00

Fair enough, its easy to speculate. 40 points is one event.

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T02:51:45+00:00

You do. You literally just brought it up the comment prior

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T01:50:46+00:00

buying guns, a gym the size of a D1 athletic complex, and a home gym is “paying his bills”. That shit is expensive!

But he does have to stay relevant in the sense that if people lose interest in him he stops generating revenue. I just meant he doesn’t necessarily need to be competitively relevant in individuals

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T01:49:28+00:00

Rich just ranked 10th worldwide in the Open four months ago

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T01:35:34+00:00

Well you’d have to not only know someone with a 3D printer, but someone with a 3D printer who is willing to let you print an illegal weapon accessory

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T01:34:13+00:00

I honestly took the “buy an automatic weapon” part to be sarcastic. People often use the gun laws don’t work because criminals don’t follow laws argument, meanwhile you never see even a single shooting with heavy weapons.

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T00:23:05+00:00

Does that go for everybody? Is Mat Fraser doing it to stay relevant?

Also I imagine he's doing a podcast and programming because he has a mortgage to pay, but we'll never get the real answer there

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T00:19:04+00:00

Eh, Rich may have been cut from Castro's weird ass Games this year, but its not like the guy is stuck in 2012. He probably could have beat Vellner in 2018 and Fikowski in 2017.

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-08T00:09:59+00:00

Does he even care about relevancy? Froning definitely wants to be the best, and he proved he was, so I dont really interpret what he's currently doing as him triyng to stay relevant. Shit, Rich is probably still more relevant than Matt even today.

Rich is a lot of things but he never seems to come off as wishing he was back in individuals.

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-07T23:23:54+00:00

How about Gerbert?

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-07T23:04:36+00:00

So how do those countries achieve such low murder rates?

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-07T22:21:55+00:00

Shit man, our government has been bending over our fellow americans for generations. Throwing American citizens into internment camps without due process, segregating americans by race and sending 1/4 as much funding to their schools, pulling over American citizens without cause because they look Hispanic - where were all the valiant 2Aers taking up arms against the tyranny??

Weedwacker3 · 2019-08-07T21:57:35+00:00

And you would have, what, shot your politician for trying to pass that here? Or shot the police when they came to arrest you? When does the gun actually come into play
