I am sure that most of the 18 are shaking their heads and bemoaning that old proverb, "With friends like the unindicted conspirator (DJT), who needs enemies?" I guess that Michigan and Arizona, seeing how busy Trump's court calendar will be with lengthy trials in NY, Washington, D.C., Georgia...

Renegade red states. Ugh! Federal laws supercede state laws, and yet all over the country rogue governors are flouting laws, putting razor wire on the border, stating any gun restrictions after 2021 will be invalid, and (in hearings today) hospitals turning away pregnant women with life...

The real messy, dangerous "freedom of speech" is happening downtown from Columbia on the courtroom steps. Are the students taking their protest cues from the disgraceful, dangerous, martyred whining of a former president? Did they grow up thinking this kind of "communication" is normal?

I think that this is a fair idea. If we really want to reduce inflation, there are an awful lot of CEO's, CFO's, etc. who have many millions in stock options every year. Statistically Americans work longer and harder than workers in any other industrialized countries. I've seen too many...

Every school shooter would have been called "a good guy with a gun" until he wasn't. It's not efficient to find out who shouldn't have a gun by waiting till they've shown their true colors.

The Secret Service--or his self-serving cowardice--kept him glued to the TV in the hospitality tent.

I believe that the "inalienable rights" of the Second Amendment have been interpreted much more narrowly in the first 200 years if our history. Aggressive lobbying by the NRA, their funding university law school chairs of extremist professors, etc. have warped the original Second Amendment...

Most of the hundreds of people convicted had many other more serious charges as well. The plaintiff in the trial had been convicted of 8 other January 6 charges. This decision was meaningless for most of the criminal insurrectionists.

When you have 70 years of gun-free life experience, you are unlikely to be changed by the opinions of videographers or others. We have, of course, known some people who died of gunshot wounds over the years. Suicides. I've known two people who were murdered over the years. A neighbor who...

I think that this wasn't posted in the firearms forum because a video that says "everyone" needs to own an AR-15 is meant to reach a wider audience, including people like me, who finds guns irrelevant, unnecessary, and personally repugnant. On the other hand, there is no way that that video...

Wow. Columbia has 34,000 students. Wow. 30% are international. Wow. That's almost 9,000.foreign students. A few hundred were demonstrating. I'm guessing that most of the demonstrators might be middle Eastern, horrified and appalled at the human rights atrocities against their own ethnic and...

We can't dictate another country's policy but we can refuse to subsidize it. Bravo, President Biden. I was glad to see that $17 billion of the $26 billion to Israel must be used for humanitarian purposes. Let's subsidize saving lives threatened by genocidal maniacs instead.

As someone who has lived 70 years in non-gun owning households, all I can say is: ROFL.

Less than a year later, her family of 5 saw the Super Bowl in a sky box package with personal visits with all the stars--reputed to cost $750K per person. No guesses on what she had to promise in order to get such a lavish gift--or who transported her there. There is a referendum petition to...

And saving the country is exactly why I support Biden. God sometimes uses unlikely leaders for his purposes. Moses and Abraham were elderly. Yes, God has used the elderly, but God cannot use narcissists, unable to see past their own selfish needs. God has guided Biden to many accomplishments...
