It does seem to work reasonably well.
I tossed this together in five minutes, with some fairly minor editing to remove one blob remove.bg left in.

Re:No
People like you never seem to understand that a lot of voters chose Trump by default. They felt that, awful as he is in many ways, he was vastly better than Hillary Clinton - who seemed very likely to get us all killed (and indeed sometimes sounded as if that was her only aim in life).

More of our cake?
Can anyone give me a coherent answer about why anyone needs a bump stock to convert a semi-automatic weapon into a fully automatic one? There is no legitimate reason for anyone to have bump stocks, and they need to be banned. It is truly remarkable to me that conservatives would resist a common sense measure like banning bump stocks.
Because you've already got most of the cake and you don't need more?
You're drinking the kool-aid served to you by the MSM in particular and liberals in general. They make money by selling outrage, and they do it without careful consideration of the consequences. Their intelligence horizon extends no further than "the next click".
The issue has been gone over in detail and there are about two dozen legitimate arguments why further gun control is wasteful, ineffective, and dangerous.
Get over it.
Start with rationality and premise: Describe the problem by stating how many people are killed, annually, using bump stocks. Then proceed to a rational comparison of how our civilization would be different with and without bump stocks, and include in your description the cost of implementing the ban versus the reward of having the ban.
If you really, *really* want to have "that conversation about gun control", then we can have that... but if we do, note that everything will be on the table for discussion, including relaxing gun restrictions. Would we be more safe if the entire country went to reciprocity?
Also that discussion will allow for "out of the box" potential solutions. For example, instead of blanket laws controlling guns, would the rewards be better served by banning moslems from owning guns? Or blacks? What do the statistics say?
If you honestly want to further restrict guns, you'll need to convince the smart population of the country. Evidence indicates that people are getting tired of ill-founded emotional arguments that don't work in practice, and our horizon for "giving it a chance" is shrinking to less than a senate term.
Convince a majority of the logic and benefits of your position, and stop making these inane emotional pleas.
Do it the right way.

Re: Five years in "vintage"
You forgot to mention the worthless ridiculous high spoiler, and the stupid oversided muffler designed to make the engine sound louder, not quieter.
Worthless is in the eye of the beholder. I wouldn't go for the big spoiler, but I would very much like the loud muffler.
I call it the small penis compensator and low self esteem machine.
Nah, that's not a small penis compensator. Now THIS is a small penis compensator:

Re:Don't know but Facebook and Twitter sure are
I just hope the old battle-axe doesn't croak before Trump has the opportunity to trounce her. The donks might actually replace her with someone who isn't entirely vomit inducing.

Re: I liked the cartoon that read:
Does it look like bomb?
But there is nothing that could be an explosive.
if you are looking for a 'stick' or something for 'explosive', I'm afraid you;ll be walking away disappointed
Now, take a look at the power of C4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
The explosion showcased on the vid above only takes 400g of C4, something that can be fit inside the palm of a grown-up
Now, of course a real bomb for a classroom does not need 400g of C4. 100g is enough to cause real damage
Now, a pix of a REAL suitcase bomb which was designed to cause massive damage...

30,000 years after South Africa
Some researchers said "the artifacts may not have been made by Neanderthals but by modern humans." Until the truth of that be known, it is too soon to re write human history, However 2001 in South Africa, at a site called Blombos Cave, is found 70,000 year old writing and art on "two pieces of ochre rock decorated with geometric patterns." The patterns could in no way be considered to be accidental or anything other than deliberate. Maybe the re write should have already began. http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads...
