I believe the CDC isn't permitted to study gun related issues like that per a law passed by the GOP. 

I think that’s true but it doesn’t have to be framed as studying a gun related issue. They should never mention guns in their report. Just investigate the mental health of the population. Use passive, non descriptive words like “violence” and “aggressive tendencies” to define their behavior and it may work as a nice loophole.

He fits the bill for the type that usually commit this crime. While there have been a few exceptions most of the perpetrators have been white, young, and male. I’m not pointing this out to hate on young white males either. I myself am one. It’s just that the trend is too noticeable to ignore. I think the CDC needs to investigate what could be causing the deterioration of mental health in this subset of the population.

I'm ashamed of you.  The Cowturds would have to be choice número uno. 

We don't want him. Besides, we already have a narcissist running our front office. Give him the Eagles. They were made for one another. They both have the same level of class.

The NFL and the NFLPA need to find an acceptable solution quickly. or eventually their won't be anyone watching the NFL and coming to the games; which will affect their wallets. Also, i fully expect congress to remove the NFL's anti-trust exemption.

 

 

I don't expect it to reach that level. Americans have a notoriously short memory. I almost guarantee that most of those people that swore off the NFL this weekend will be back watching it and claiming they've always been loyal to their teams within four weeks.

So what are the odds that Trump may just be a stooge in all of this? That he's calling all of this fake news because he truly doesn't know that any of this happened within his own campaign? I think the odds aren't super high but nothing would surprise me anymore.

I don't know when it happened but at some point over the last year or two Newt Gingrich went full crazy.

I find myself worrying that this policy could be extended to include other countries that are hostile toward the United States. I and my Chinese wife both live abroad now but we want to move back to America some day. Is Trump going to make it harder for me to get my wife into the country? If I can't get her in then I'd essentially become an outcast from my own country, unable to return home without leaving my wife behind. It pains me to think that there are likely some for who this is already a reality. An American who married a spouse from

any of these 7 countries is now in that nightmare scenario.

What I said may have been a bit muddled, but I'll walk it back and say that I don't think a police officer should be able to take your car keys unless you are being arrested. My intention was to point out that guns are a constitutional right so we can't take that right away from someone unless there is due process involved, even if we suspect them of something.

Well it does say "no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law." I imagine he's thinking that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms" is part of "liberty."

This is what I was going to say, but you beat me to it.

I liken it to a police officer taking away your keys after pulling you over. You didn't get due process to lose the right to drive home. Suspicion is sufficient. If your behaviors are erratic and dangerous enough... a temporary suspension pending trial seems not out of order.

.

The major difference between guns and your example is that driving is not a constitutionally guaranteed right which the constitution says can only be taken away by due process. I myself am a liberal who is in favor of stricter background checks, closing the gun show loop hole, etc, but if the suspect is a citizen it poses unavoidable constitutional issues to say they can't buy a gun without at least being charged with something.

This team did win 9 games last season. It's not a very big stretch to think they might be able to pick up a game and make it to 10.

Edit

LOL. Nevermind. Didn't notice when this thread wa started. Geez that's a long time ago.
