Totally misses the point. Thatâs the result of bad thinking: uh oh, better shoot everyone! The right way to approach this is cultural - why do people think itâs OK to loot, cheat, laze about? Who has moral authority any more to really convince people to behave like weâre in a society, instead of a winner-take-all old west? It certainly wasnât Trump, who never - ever - looked out for the people in our society who werenât given a fair shake (because helping someone thatâs not you, well thatâs socialism/communism my boy, and everyone knows the only thing good for people is capitalism).
Although, look back at revolutions. They happen because the rich over tax, over work the poor. Then the poor rise up. Except now the rich have precedent to learn from. So instead of allowing people to figure, on their own, that the rich are the problem - they have spent an awful lot of time and some money to tell us that itâs 1) the immigrants 2) the colored 3) the poor 4) the scientists 5) the non-Christians 6) the hippies 7) the gays 8) the socialists 9) the media who are keeping them miserable, and not the rich at all. And how will you folks fix it for all of us? Second Amendment Remedies! And the rich will sit back and watch from one of their homesâ¦
The best way to defend our rights and protect ourselves is to replace radical left wing and anti-gun politicians like Biden, Harris, Pelosi, and Schumer with solid pro-gun majorities in 2022!

The "more guns, less crime" notion has proven so wrong the past few years that the author of the 2015 study the Right/NRA pointed to has changed his position. The notion of "good guys with guns reduce crime" lacks any proof.
If you wanted to protect everyone, eliminating guns is the best way. Look at any other country on the planet if you need proof. The more guns...the more death.

We all saw how the Biden administration, it's socialist government tax-and-and-deficit-spending insanity, its debacle in Afghanistan, its refusal to secure our southern border, and its radical-leftest social agenda were rebuked by voters in the off-year elections last November.
While Biden's anti-gun allies push to de-fund our nations police, crime is skyrocketing. According to the FBI, murder in the U.S. spiked by 29% in 2020. Shootings in Chicago alone have more than doubled in a year and more than tripled in two years. And ambush shootings against police have more than doubled in the past year.

F*ck I hope as hell this scenario doesnât play out. We need more politicians in place who are not afraid of the gun lobby⦠not beholden to it.
We are not living with a Joe Biden budget yet. The growth in 2021 is still a carryover from the Trump budget. Let not let Biden take credit for something that he has not engineered except the runaway inflation that his administration has created.
If you think the bozo that led the previous regime did anything but feather his own fucking nest then you are more delusional than I thought you were.

Biden is sabre-rattling against the Russians. Oddly enough, more of the Russian perspective is getting into western media this time round.
I don't like the notion of Biden creating a Bread & Circus moment for US voters but then he has been shown to be willing to compromise. The probability of direct confrontation with Russia converges on zero.
Thought I saw him on the 12/20/21 Jimmy Fallon - Tonight Show episode. WH Christmas decorations framed his video feed conversation between the 2. Must have been a re-run or maybe my imagination Should have been sleeping.
I personally hope they dont pass another shotgun spending bill.
Why Build Back Better is so unloved
Rick Newman·Senior ColumnistMon, December 13, 2021, 1:41 PM
Offer people free money, and they should become your biggest fans. Right?
Not really, it turns out. President Bidenâs legislative strategy this year was to include some temporary new benefits in the big Covid relief bill Democrats passed in March, then count on them becoming so popular that voters would demand they be extended indefinitely. The Build Back Better legislation Democrats hope to pass by the end of year is Part II of that strategy, with extensions of a new child tax credit and health care subsidies among the billâs major elements.
Voters arenât all that enthused. Just 41% of respondents in a recent NPR/Marist poll said they support the BBB legislation, with 34% opposed and 25% unsure. Support for the bipartisan infrastructure bill Biden signed in November was 56%. That 15-point gap in support is the difference between legislation Americans want Congress to pass, and legislation they donât.
This matters now because Democrats hoped the larger tax credit would generate a groundswell of voter support that would get the BBB bill over the finish line by the end of 2021. The March relief bill established the expanded benefit for six months, starting in Julyâso it ends this month. The latest version of the BBB bill would keep it going for another year. Instead of rallying around BBB, however, voters are wanâperhaps because the bill also includes green-energy investments, preschool subsidies, housing support, immigration changes, tax hikes and other things that make the whole package seem unwieldy.
Many Democrats have vilified Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who has essentially blocked BBB so far, with objections to its large scope and cost, plus concern that it will worsen escalating inflation. But Manchin is closer to the majority view than most Democrats.
