You don't own it, you don't control who accesses it, nothing. In other words, you're saying to someone "I am going to pay money to you to rent something and it may vanish at any time and I have no control on it."
Insanity.
It's a tremendous fallacy that Hillary is a lefty - she's incredibly smart and power hungry and only after things for herself.
She is not a lefty she's a national socialist.
Not necessarily true if it is used for things like conservation, rather like the taxes on hunting guns, bows, arrows, etc. are used to fund wildlife conservation. The wealth fund is to capture some of the money extracted from the ground and sold as a profit - my refuting was that "oil companies get lots of subsidies and don't pay for stuff."
They do.
Of course, I should have mentioned that - with the decline in coal use that's getting to be true more and more. My point was for the most part we don't burn OIL to make electricity. Of course, motors that run on liquid fuel that may pump (natural)(propane) gas may use petroleum products such as diesel to run them, but I wasn't referring to that.
I cannot speak to your comment, but I do know quite clearly regarding gun control and south carolina.
Of course, you Democrats never change do you? You're still slave holders.
It depends.
As a former LEO, I had quite a bit of training in weapon retention. I am not sure that many CCW holders have had this. (They should, but that's beside the point).
In general, an 'ace in the hole' is usually considered a good thing, but of course, every situation is different.
I don't carry open because, frankly, I don't want to have to use a level 3 holster with a retention strap, they're a PITA. I wouldn't open carry with less than that.
In most states that have CCW you are advised to carry concealed. "Assault" does not mean "hitting someone" but making people be afraid they are going to be hit. For some reason, most of the folks in blue states believe if they see a gun they are threatened. (I dont' understand this but in blue states for the most part folks are terrified of cops, too). This means that someone is quite likely to ring the cops if they see you open carrying.
The other thing is...suppose you are female, 4'9", 95 pounds, and do not appear to be physically strong. Having a firearm means that you have a tool you can use to protect yourself from those much larger than yourself. If you reveal this firearm, before any attack, you are revealing your strength.
Not a good idea.
Actually gun control in the US was started by Democrats who were afraid that freed blacks in South Carolina were going to get guns.
YES gun control IS about keeping guns out of the hands of poor people - mostly black in the US, but how many folks make "white southern redneck" jokes and say these guys shouldn't have guns? Oh yes, the white southern rednecks all live in mobile homes, have dead appliances on the porch, and cars on blocks - wealthy people tend not to have these things.
And of course, gun control is a plank of the platform of the left - the most racist, classist, elitist group of people I have EVER met. I live in a very red state now, but spent the majority of my life in uber blue states so I know from which I speak.
Yes but don't tell these leftie idiots that the government does illegal things all the time - they'll just say 'if the government does it, it is legal.'
Being a non believer for the most part myself, I find it fascinating that the official anti-god party in the US, the Democrats, have replaced their faith in a higher power to that of 'faith in the state.'
You're probably more likely to get decent treatment from god.
The like social justice warrior who was taking a selfie with his cell phone while brandishing a pistol to discuss how black lives matter, and ended up shooting and killing himself?
It might surprise you but you are an idiot.
People who carry concealed firearms know darn well these are 'last resort' things. I would rather run from violence than have to use a gun. And all the folks I know who carry - and I know a lot of them, I live in a state with way more guns than people - feel the same way.
You know NOTHING of which you speak.
Gun control people DO want power over people. They even say it.
Clearly, you are a gun controller yourself - you don't want power over people you just want to make everyone else just like you.
Your data is incorrect.
You might be surprised to analyze the data of violent crimes with firearms. Depending on your demographics, it is safer here than western Europe.
Unfortunately, if you leave out black on black crime, our crime rate in the USA drops nearly to western European levels, including violent crimes with and without firearms.
The bigger question is: why is there so much black on black crime? I'm quite certain that poverty. lack of education (translate this as "decent jobs") contribute to it. But why? There was a push for so long to raise academic excellence throughout the country and it fell flat.
Sorry, I don't buy "institutionalized racism." Jews have suffered from this for years, as do south and east Asians. Yet none of these groups have difficulty doing well in the country.

How can you say that? Provide proof that what he said isn't coming.

They didn't steal them, the Clinton admin GAVE THEM to them.
And, btw, truth-out is also quite anti Semitic. So take your national socialism and go away.
I didn't say that. I said that oil and gas companies pay for the resources they extract, which they do.
Sorry, truth-out.org is about as accurate as any other Pravda on either the left or the right.
That's it.

Ex cop and firearms instructor. I don't have to prove anything to you.
Shhh, you're going against the lefty playbook of the vast rightwing conspiracy.

I have never understood this myself. Maybe because they don't have them, unless they aren't male?

Funny I think the Republicans are not quite as statist as the Democrats.
