Trump headed to the hospital.. discuss.
 
That's because the NRA is a shill organization bent on making money, people who tend to know much about the topic lean towards the GOA an actual organization which represents gun owner interests.

You realize there was an incident in Hawaii where a Japanese american couple sheltered and helped to escape a Japanese pilot who was shot down during the attack on Pearl Harbor right? That Decision didnt come out of nowhere and during a War of total conquest it was the most correct thing to do, given the information available at the time. After the war, it was realized it was overkill, but given what we were up against it’s hardly tyranny. No different than Lincoln suspending habeas corpus In the civil war

look the battle of Athens, 1946 where veterans had a shootout with the sheriff who was rigging an election, that’s a example of fighting tyranny

so how come we didn’t do the same to German and Italian Americans? You’re talking about protecting rights from one side of your face and defending imprisoning American citizens without trial out the other. Rights for me, not for thee!
 
Some of us in the gun community remember what it was like from 94-04 under the “assault weapons ban”. Prices got out of control and availability was low. Never again.
I’m genuinely curious, in what measurable way was your life impacted by this? That was 16-26 years ago so it’s obviously had an effect on you. Did you go homeless because it was harder to buy an AK-47? Did you struggle to provide for your family because ammo was more expensive? Outside of protecting your property, assault weapons are a hobby. And the fact that so many people invoke a hobby when it comes to voting is just a little bit backwards.
 
Hope he keels over along with Biden, I wanna see Conversion Camp Pence and Incarcerate the Minorities Harris go at it, with Mrs. Pence's ok of course.
Dead presidential nominees does not make their VP selections the de facto party nominees, does it?

The succession seems like it would be the practical way to go about it, but the parties make their own rules for the nominee so I guess we'd see.

I demand 40mm with foreskin!!!

The same was done to them. 11500 people of German descent and 3000 of Italian descent. The major issue they faced was discerning who was and wasn't German and/or Italian as definable traits made it easier to discern the Japanese from others which is why the U.S. was so cruelly efficient at it.

History needs to be viewed with context.

these were German and Italian nationals living in the US. They were overwhelmingly not American citizens. The American citizens among them were interned after a trial.

Did you go homeless because it was harder to write a politically critical blog? Did you struggle to provide for your family because the right to a fair trial was more expensive? Outside of protecting your eternal soul, religion is a hobby. And the fact that so many people invoke a hobby when it comes to voting is just a little bit backwards

I'm sure you see what I did there.

Rights are rights. I can't think of very many aspects of the bill of rights that directly impacted my way of life as far as keeping a roof over my head or food in my mouth, but I'm still glad I have them. How is "are you still fed a clothed? " an argument for this? I mean if I get out and peacefully protest on my days off is that just a trivial hobby too just because you don't do it or believe in my cause?

Since you are technically voting for electors (picked by the parties) in the Electoral College, the parties would probably put up whoever they think best and have the electors vote for them. So it could be generic R vs. generic D, but in practice the national committees of both parties would put up someone. But their names wouldn't be on the ballot.

What a shitshow that would be.
