  • When an animal gets shot in Africa it's the shooter's fault . When a person gets shot in the USA it's the gun's fault .

    The 2nd Amendment guarantees the Right to bear arms , it doesn't specify what kind of arms or weapon .

  • The type of Arms will always change , the guaranteed Rights of the Constitution should not . Our children's children should have the same Rights of the Constitution as those who wrote the Constitution and we do now no matter the types of Arms .

    Changing of Arms will always happen , changing the Constitution should not .

    Semo471,

    I agree with you on the required viewing and .

    reading. Do I think it will change one Leftist mind so far as gun control goes... no. They have tunnel vision and want to see all guns eliminated. Unarmed citizens are much easier to manage.

    Perhaps we will live to see this gentleman achieve a national prominence in government. I like what I see so far.

    Rick I agree, but there are those out there on the Left who are dedicated to removing those rights and yet they get voted into office because of a label they wear and in spite of their political slants.

    Just look at the fruitcake they almost made governor in Florida. Promise freebies even if you cannot pay for them and you will garner votes. Why do you think the Left is so anxious to let all of the low information, untalented and under educated illegals into this country.

    My cousin from the Netherlands tried for years before she was allowed to even be vetted to obtain a permanent visa. She finally made it but it took years and she is well educated and talented. She spent years as executive secretary in London at an International Financial Co. She had something to offer other than a promise to hit the welfare roles soon as she landed, but that did not matter, she waited patiently instead of trying to rush the border with demands.

    Rick are you saying we should just leave them all come in and take over our country? The ones without a green card will not be paying taxes but their children will be going to school at our expense and the emergency room will be their primary care doctors. and it only begins there.

    Is that the way you think we should run this country?

    Take Trump put of the equation, he is temporary like all Presidents, and do you still feel the same way about illegal immigration.

  • I question why all 100% of illegal immigrants come from the southern border . There is no cure for illegal immigrants , no more then the common cold .

    The illegal immigrant fight has been going on since at least the year 1900 and Poncho Villa , no President of any kind has stopped them yet .

    Some People of the caravan have already been deported once from the USA but come back seeking asylum , why is this being allowed to happen ? Lessons learned from the great fires in California could be used , planes and helicopters dropped water to douse the spreading flames . Fill planes and helicopters with sewer water mixed with garbage to drop on the caravan People . Another answer may be to use small drones buzzing and harassing the People 24/7 or drop leaflets saying the laws and rules have been fixed in their homelands , it's safe to go back . There is an answer to every problem .

    Dividing the American People is not the answer .

  • I feel the same about illegal immigrants as I do about the ones on the Mayflower .

    All it did was to divide the Peoples of the Great Lands who lost everything .

    Rick, the division started with Obama and became even worse in November of 2016. The Leftists hate Trump and cannot stand that the Obama Clone, Hillary Clinton, was not elected. Doesn't matter what, if he is for it, they are against it.

    -- Posted by Ralph VanGennip on Mon, Nov 26, 2018, at 10:31 AM
  • I agree the division started under the Obama Administration . I don't believe as many hate Trump as to what is said plus it's no reason for Trump or any other President to start the healing which would include not getting everything their way .

    As I posted in 2008 , it will take years , if not decades , for the USA to recover from the damage Obama did to this Nation . No one single Leader will be able to fix it all including Trump .

  • Research of websites will show the amount of homicides per population in the USA is miniscule , the amount committed by illegal immigrants is even smaller . It matters not which websites are deemed "fake news" or not .

    Research will also show only around 49% of eligible voters voted in 2016 , this tells me over half the Peoples couldn't care less , they hate either Party equally .

    My question regarding the Canadian border and stopping drugs from entering the USA has yet to be answered .

    Is there any way we can turn this discussion back around to the subject of the thread?

    The Leftist faction in this country are dedicated to disarming Americans, yet some citizens who claim to believe in the right to bear arms are voting for the very people dedicated to taking them away. Anybody think we should just roll over and let it happen?

    The American hunters are the largest Army in the world , I don't see them disarming their self or allowing anyone to disarm them either . Millions and millions of American hunters were just out in the fields and woods without 1 single mass shooting by any of them .

    The left , nor right , will disarm the citizens of America ,

Even the forums are being restricted in anything that doesn't tow the line with the state of today's uneducated sheep willing to go along with the next step of destroying America.

    Perhaps not, but the evermore chipping away at our rights as the Leftists are trying to do makes life harder and harder on the law abiding citizen while doing absolutely nothing to address the real problem is what is concerning to me.

    The breakdown of family life where beautiful young children turn into young punks because of a total lack of guidance is very disturbing.

    Almost a year ago now I hired a highly recomended handyman from the inner city to do some work for me. He brought his 16 year old and 26 year old sons with him. Hardest working and some of the most respectful people I have met. The Father had to be home at a given time as it was date night with his wife. I think I know why they had two such great kids you don't forget them. They had a great family life to learn from.

    How many families sit down to a regular evening meal any more or is Thanksgiving and the other recognized Holidays the only true Family togetherness they know.

    Adrianna Ross's column speaks to this today I think. It also should be required reading.

    I believe all of Washington , DC is morphing our personal guaranteed Rights into privileges , the Federal Government as a whole . How many have been stepped on since 9/11 alone .

    It's not just one sole Party , it's both the left and the right . How else could our Nation be in the hole over $20 trillion dollars ? It was team work of both Parties , no one Party can do it alone . The current President reduced revenue and increased spending at the same time , spending money we don't have is never a good thing . Obama did the same , spent revenue we did not have on People who added no revenue . Our Rights are becoming privileges that can be given or taken away as the Government deems fit .

    If , or when , Leaders with some stones comes along to put a stop to this , it's going to be what it's going to be .

    I honestly don't see the Right to bear arms go away though . Any type Government , left or right , will fail miserably , even if it's both working together . People will not give up their Right to defend their self and loved ones no matter who is calling the shots in DC .

  • btw , Adrianna Ross has her Right of Free Speech and Freedom of Religion just as we all do . Her personal Freedom of Religion should be hers alone and not mandatory for all .

    Freedom of Religion beliefs also means Freedom from Religion beliefs .

    I'm not prepared to make her Religious beliefss my Religious belief , I'm not convinced a lack of any single Religious tenet is causing the problems of all American People today .

    Rick, so far as chipping our away at our rights and making them either privileges or non existent.... I do not blame one party, I blame the Leftist Socialistic tendencies of the individual legislators are doing it. There are many Republicans I cannot stand for their positions, they are not Conservative Republicans, they are RINOs, Republican IN Name Only, and they will promise anything and take any position that will buy them votes. In a simple few words, they are left of center. Feature it like a Football Field as this Politician does in the Video.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP17L0yzFLc

    I however believe that most people fall much closer to Center than this guy claims, the 20 yard line to be, somewhere maybe in the 30 to 40 yard lines.

    But it is a given, you are going to find little getting done where politicians are extreme left or extreme right. They must be closer to center to be able to give and take and get productive work done that benefits not punishes citizens.

    I believe term limits would force better less extreme people to work more to benefit people. New people with extreme views either way would find it harder to get elected and you would not have the career politicians who have learned to game the system to the point they have.

    Donald Trump is far from being a perfect human or a perfect President, but his views do no run nearly as extreme right as Barack Obamaoe Hillary Clinton's did extreme left.

    Rick, much easer said than done. Just yesterday I had a conversation not with a Leftist, but an Extreme Leftist, All that party knew was that Trump was bad and his Locker Room personal comment to a friend regarding grabbing etc. made him and any supporter as having no moral decency and he was unfit for the Presidency based on that statement alone. Any response brought on more screeching the same words. Was never able to ask the party where that placed people supporting a President who supported Partial Birth Abortion let alone all other murder of the unborn. Extremists on either side are hard to discuss anything with as they already know everything. But I do believe that the Leftist Socialist faction of the Democratic Party have the extreme Far Right far outnumbered and outshouted at this point.
