    The bill also repeals the District of Columbia’s registration requirement for the possession of firearms, repeals requirements regarding the keeping and storing of firearms and eliminates restrictions on transporting firearms in most of the nation’s capital.

     

    That is called a stealth bill.

  2. I can't believe that otherwise normal members of the Tailgate are supporting this particular mindbogglingly stupid idea.  Even if you support individual gun rights it is dumber than dog poop.

     

    twa, sure.  But some of the rest of you?   :blink: 

     

    I almost feel like this is firm proof of the Overton window, and what it does to people.

    Until doctors are willing to admit and look into natural.ways to heal people, they are nothing more than whores  for med companies /big Pharma. Our grand parents and great grand weren't getting sick at the rate we are and supposedly we have the best medical ? Better doctors? Better education?

    Excuse me, where's the problem? I gave a personal adult viewpoint about education. I didn't harm or insult you. You can't handle actual independent  thought or adult conversation ?  You complain whether I actually insult you or don't insult you...make up your  mind and stay consistent. 

     

     

    protip: the fact that you don't personally insult people (something that you say in every other post) does not make you immune from our reactions when you say something appallingly ignorant (and repetitive).

    FBI ‘investigating whether Russian money went to NRA’s campaign to help elect Donald Trump’

     

    Activists are demanding the National Rifle Association (NRA) reveal if it received donations from Russia, after it was reported the FBI is investigating whether a Kremlin-linked Moscow businessman channelled money to the group’s campaign to help Donald Trump win the election.

     

    With the influence of the NRA under mounting scrutiny following a school shooting in Florida and the campaign led by students to change the country’s gun laws, campaigners say it is vital that investigators uncover if the powerful lobbying group group used any Russian money to help elect Republican members of Congress and Mr Trump during the 2016 race. It is against the law to use foreign money in federal election campaigns.

     

     

    Oh my god

     

    if this brings down Wayne LaPierre and the NRA, I will just...

    he is a lawyer,so yeah.:ols:

     

    is he wrong on the weakness of the legal theory the charges are based on?

    and that SCOTUS rapped their knuckles when it was used before?

     

     

     

     

    Given that he misrepresents the charges in the indictment (and also misrepresents everything about Christopher Steele and Hillary Clinton and Fusion GPS and Perkins Coie), yeah, I'd say so.  He's spinning harder than a playground roundabout.

     

    Why do you constantly post this crap from stupid obscure blogs and Breitbart and the Federalist and whatever and then expect us to take the time to go though it and refute it point by point every single time, just so you can dance off and post another one.  Forget it.  You never make that effort to discuss anything anyone else posts.

    You would be repealing the 2nd Amendment. If you want to quibble with the use of stripping, I'll concede the technical definition is amending. In essence, you will be stripping the 2nd Amendment from the Bill of Rights.

     

    Assuming that the NRA's interpretation of the 2nd Amendment is correct.   Which basically no one with a legal background thought was the case (including the NRA) until 1977, when the NRA got taken over by extremists and started pushing it.   

     

    Just ask Republican Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger.

     

    "The Second Amendment "has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud,' on the American public," former chief justice Warren E. Burger said in a 1991 interview on PBS's "MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour." Burger has said often that the "right to bear arms" belongs to the states, and he has attacked the NRA for fostering the opposite view.

    The Second Amendment says, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

    The widespread legal and judicial view is that the Second Amendment guarantees a state's right to be armed – for example, in today's National Guard.

     

    When the Supreme Court has spoken in this area – and it has done so infrequently – it has begun with the idea that the Second Amendment protects a state's right to keep arms for a militia. In a nationally watched 1983 case, the justices let the town of Morton Grove, Ill., ban handguns. Without comment or dissent, they left intact a lower court decision rejecting the contention that Americans have a constitutional right to be armed."

     After looking over the conversations on more "pro-trump" internet locations they are saying "Finally, Mueller has completed his investigation. No knowing collusion!" And, the ever more popular, "See! This was always FAKE NEWS about Trump. Mueller failed to link into the White House." 

     

    eMails, Benghazi, better than Hil. 

     

    Of course.  twa already threw up that trial balloon on here.  :)

  8. Reggie Miller was well adapted to a time when the league style of play did not reward ball handling, passing or creativity, and defenses were mechanical because the rules forced them to be.  Every player could always get their shot off.  Reggie would not be a superstar today, because without handles, you become a one trick pony.  He could potentially be as good as Klay Thompson, but he wasn't quite as good a shooter as Klay, and as someone already said, Klay's defense is much better.

     

    Larry Bird, on the other hand, would be awesome.  He would be the best stretch 4 shooter in the league, and when that was combined with his passing and court vision, he would be a nightmare to defend.  He also was a better defender than he generally is given credit for because he was country strong and had great hands, but his lack of foot speed would be a bit of a problem.   Basically, he would be Dirk, but better.

     (Which is part of the key to what makes Steph so dangerous. He's not a finisher, but he can get to the lane against nearly anyone and that creates all sorts of havoc).

     

     

    Steph actually may be the best finisher in the game among guards.   Back in 2016, he was so good around the rim that he was top 5 in the entire league, right up there with guys like Deandre and Whiteside who do nothing but catch lobs and dunk.  Check out the second chart in this article.

    The fact that Curry doesn't slam it home like Westbrook doesn mean that he doesn't get it in the hoop on drives at a super efficient pace.
