Liberal Redneck: NRA thinks more guns solve everything

harlequinn says...

This brings up some interesting points.

What is an "assault rifle"? My grand-dad's 303 bolt action rifle was used to fight Germans in the war. It was an "assault rifle". Yet I don't believe this is what you mean. Do you mean AR-15s or similar? The AR in AR-15 stands for Armalite Rifle. It was a select fire gun (capable of automatic fire). The civilian version is semi-automatic. It isn't an "assault rifle" but you could use it as one. You can use any gun as an assault weapon if you so choose to designate it for that purpose.

You may not need a semi-auto for deer hunting, but hunting doesn't end with one animal. Going duck hunting - it's much easier with a semi-auto and 6 round versus a 2 round break action. Going on a pig hunt (for animal destruction). You'll want a semi-auto with a high capacity magazine.

What about home defense? You most certainly DO need a semi-auto long gun. If you choose a pistol over a long gun then you are putting yourself at a massive disadvantage - and the whole point of using a tool to defend yourself is to give yourself an advantage over the aggressor.

Should a gun be harder to get in the USA? In my opinion yes. It should be harder. Whether that is by making ownership of some firearms dependent on being an active member of a club (where the club has the requirement to be each other's keeper) or stopping unvetted second hand sales or some other solution or combination thereof, I don't know the answer. But the two suggestions I've put here are a really good start. Along with a storage onus (don't properly store your firearm and it gets used in a crime - you get a BIG fine). Basically I believe there are plenty of solutions that won't infringe on an American's 2nd amendment rights to acquire and own a firearm.

For the most part, I don't have anything against gun ownership but it seems like commonsense that we shouldn't be selling high-capacity assault rifles to anyone. You don't need an assault rifle to hunt deer or for personal defense and, therefore, they should be extremely hard to acquire. It's fine to be an enthusiast but the average person should not be able to get a hold of them. These mass killings would be much more difficult for someone to enact with a knife.

John Oliver Leaves GM Dismembered in Satans Molten Rectum

Sagemind says...

Actually, this is true, but it's also only one of the recall items that GM has issued Recalls for this year.

"It recalled 8,208 of its 2014 cars on May 7, for example, because they might have rear brakes on the front wheels."

"GM says it has informed regulators about two more recalls imminent but not yet announced. The latest batch includes safety belt, air bag, transmission and electrical issues in a range of midsize sedans, full-size crossovers and SUVs, and pickups."

Election predictions? (Election Talk Post)

dystopianfuturetoday says...

Least stressful election night ever! Aside from Obama's swing state sweep, Elizabeth Warren was elected and some republican rape apologists got pink slips. Pot was legalized in Colorado and Washington. Gay Marriage in Maine and Maryland.

@dag, Nate was spot on, but the numbers suggest Obama picked up some extra electoral votes somewhere and I can't figure out where. What state did he nab from om-nom-Romneh? (edit: it appears he got all of the states right, but his prediction was 315 electoral votes, instead of 303 or 330. Why the discrepancy?)

What is this strange feeling overcoming me. Hope? Optimism?

Bachmann is still too close to call. Let's all pray to Cthulhu tonight to make her go away from our political system for good. (edit: ah fiddlesitcks
, she won)

I see the anti-government-handout right wing "libertarians" who were looking to get 5% of the vote so that they could get a government handout failed to get more than a single percentage point. Serves those hypocrits right.
