Ron chimes in on that little twerp David Hogg and some other stuff.
Ron on.
Still findin pics of that pompous, rude, arrogant, naïve, annoying, self-appointed, would-be 2nd-Amendment killer Hogg. Sparklingly ignorant and terminally brainwashed modern teenage Don Quixote waving a plastic blue lightsaber with nearly exhausted batteries.
Wonder if he’s aware of how our gummint is set up? He keeps sayin that we have a democracy, which we don’t (we have a Constitutional republic), so I gotta figger he cut class the day that making changes to the Constitution was discussed.
In a democracy, the majority rules and the losers lament. If the majority decides they need to take your car, they can just take it. In a republic, your car is your property, not the majority’s. It can’t be taken against your will unless you have violated the rules for owning and operating it.
Sometimes the individual is protected from a misdirected majority by the Constitution. It’s like when the 2nd Amendment was written, the public had access to the same weapons as the government. That was precisely the point.
For it to pass, a Constitution Amendment bill requires 2/3 majority in BOTH houses, and then even then has to be ratified by 3/4 of the states for final approval. What’re the odds on that happening? Is he really that oblivious and manic?
Ron off.
Please Dimocrats please, I’m begging you, run on gun control in the midterms.
Ron on.
Hey, I’m MUCH more worried about the fact that nobody in Congress from either side of the debate on immigration is even thinking about the rights of Zombies and the need to protect them from deportation. All anybody seems worried about are the illegals, refugees, and “the children.”
So, EVERYbody would like to see a workable plan which would keep dangerous weapons away from mentally unbalanced individuals. But such people tend not to check first if their delusional plans are prohibited by law.
The reality is that even in places where firearms are heavily restricted, such as Britain or Australia, there are Still gun deaths. People will find ways to get weapons the same way they found booze during Prohibition, and knife attacks in Britain occur about every 4 minutes. You’re FAR more likely to die from beating or bludgeoning or accident in the US than in a mass shooting.
Ron off.
And if the Brits would ship the muzzies back to where they came from and outlaw Islam, there would be fewer knife attacks.
Ron on.
And I STILL say that if the media would stop over-saturating the environment with non-stop coverage of gun-related incidents in gun-free zones, most of which is repetition, we’d have far fewer of them. Stop sensationalizing psychopaths and losers. Don’t mention their names or show their fotos. EVER.
Oh, well. Criticizing the younger generation is an important feature of the mental hygiene of the older generation. It promotes good circulation to the extremities and produces a pleasant feeling of having accomplished something useful.
Hogg reminds me of one of those career students who go to college forever and wind up with BA degrees in all the fine arts but can’t say anything intelligent about any of them or even complete his own income-tax forms.
Ron off.
Hogg was not accepted at four of the schools in California he applied to. Whassa matter? Not liberal enough? Maybe he looks too much like a NAZI.
Ron on.
I won’t be surprised in a few years to see that he’s been shot, or become a drug addict, is marching in a gay pride demonstration, or in prison. I see him as a future bad-decision-making machine on a par with Cauley McCulkin, or Charlie Manson.
I forgot the actual number (think it’s around a dozen), but several US teenagers die every day because of texting and driving. Apparently teenagers aren’t mature enough to safely use those devices, so we need to raise the age for owning them to 21.
But the bottom line on laws in the US is that we have so damned many now that no one can give you a straight answer on how many there actually are. Regiments of lawyers and clerks and other wordsmiths make very comfortable livings digging into law books to find a statute to contradict the ones being used by the lawyers opposing them.
We have plenty of rules, regulations, restrictions, requirements and laws concerning purchase, ownership, use, and transfer of firearms. But short of creating a cadre of Gorts as in the movie, we will never create laws which can prevent or control evil. By its very nature, evil does not obey laws.
Ron off.
Klaatu barada nikto or maybe not.
