    I wasn’t clear enough that I was referring to “types of firearms.” (;

    So the strategy from the right is to just make up stuff then attribute it to any source you want ? With out providing the link, you have no reference.

    The same old points made made by both sides again and again, when will you realize that the far right live in a fantasy bubble which is implementable. They will tell you that Democratic Socialism is Marxism which is stupid,. They love their guns in spite of the mascaras and the plain fact the at least two children are hospitalized every day with gunshot wounds. There is truth in the saying that travel broadens the mind but the majority of Americans don't even own a passport. Most of those that do only travel to Canada or Mexico. They love forums like this one as it gives them the chance to spout their views whereas what they really hate is to be totally ignored.

    Exactly....
    There are instances where a personal experience will bring “ Devine” revelation into a conservatives limited framework of reference. I see it all the time. They have an epiphany when a loved one is sick or injured or they themselves become a victim.

    Slowly though, over time, all is forgotten and by election time, they’re back into their “ tax cut mantra” that pretty much controls their vote. Even tax cuts are frauds where local municipalities increase sales, fees and property taxes to offset the govt grants that are more plentiful otherwise. The numbers don’t lie. Elections have consequences shared by everyone. There is no free lunch that conservatives always vote for. They live for their free stuff.

    Yes, one of their favorite words is 'Freedom' when the amount of Freedom they have depends solely on what their bank balance can afford to give them.

    "Mascaras". LOL
    These "massacres", on average, take 10 lives per year.
    2/ day = 730 hospitalized children.
    423,000,000 gun in the US. Do the math.

    Well because we are right, as in correct.

    Similarly it is impossible to convince a black sharpie that it is yellow
    You cannot convince a blue sky that it is Red
    You cannot convince a bunny rabbit that it is a wolf.

    The day may come when a conservative is wrong about something but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    No, that's the amount of Freedom YOU have. The amount of freedom THEY have is literally unbounded even by the sea and sky. The freedom to do anything, such as poison the air and water we all use. run their machinery over your children and have huge and vicious animals who eat yours, along with the freedom to have 88mm howitzers and use them in any way they desire, is a totally untrammeled thing which they and theirs have died for while you cowered in your basement

    88mm howitzer. That's funny. You must be a subject of the Crown.

    We can't breathe since the air is unfit anyway, by conservative decree.

    No, I actually gave you a source; to one of the most commonly used (non porn) sites on the internet. You've provided no almanac, no country study guide, no nothing to support your claim. And of course, we both know why!

    Your reasoning is foolish....it’s called “ link” for a reason.

    So you think the CIA is a valid source for determining fascism without actually “ linking” the two together as a reference ?

    Lets link the CIA with its works with climate change.
    https://www.cia.gov/news-informatio...-on-climate-change-and-national-security.html


    Yours is fraud, mine is factual.

    Freedom really only exists for corporations. Workers in their eyes, have less freedom. They are OK with businesses forming unions, but not the workers.

    upload_2020-10-16_10-23-10.png

    I bet you put warnings on plastic bags and other objects in relation to young children and suffocation. I know you have legislation to try and reduce the road toll.......

    But when it comes to guns ........ well let the little suckers and losers die!!

    I've come to the conclusion that the resist correction because they have a purpose, interest, and goal that is not about anything Trump says. They know he has uttered lies and they don't care. They have their "supreme" goal and they want it above all else.

    Their goal? White supremacy. Of course they can't admit it. So we get all sorts of dumb answers, uninformed replies, and conspiratorial bullshit. It's all to hid the Main Goal, which they cannot admit. Hence, none of the other things matter to them. They'll accept all of it, whatever "it" is, if they can get a white America. They are racist haters. And they look forward to the day when they can openly say so and admit they want a racist, white America.

    Absolutely, totally, completely, utterly. The strategy is laid out clearly and explicitly in Mein Kampf. Don't attack me, don't give me any "Godwin's Law' or "race card" bull feces. READ THE GOD-CURSED BOOK. It's all been done before and it nearly destroyed the world. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN

    .

    Yes you would and thank god for that, but that is not the view of freedom they think they should have. We are talking of aspirations here, not the way things are.

    That’s immaterial. Our state gets polluted by the prevailing winds from and a nearby manufacturing state spewing pollution. There are a plethora of reasons for for California pollution . The biggest is population density. California is restrained by the Fed from issuing more stringent pollution controls then they do.
