The left wants to get rid of all private guns.  Ask the Venezuelans if that's a good idea.

Venezuela? Really?

Citizens of a country which voted for Chavez and Maduro should not be trusted with guns.

It's safer taking away their vote then their guns.  People vote for more government control thinking they'll get more free stuff.

Nation's Murderous Psychopaths Undecided On Whether They’ll Follow New Gun Laws

Quote
The background check sounds concerning,” explained deranged murderer Steve Mason, known as “Murdering Steve” to his friends. “I would definitely fail it since I’m a well-known psychopath. But I’ve never actually purchased a gun through a gun-dealer; I just steal all my murder weapons. And so far no one has proposed a background check on theft, so I think I’m good.”

Jake FoOne law murderous psychopaths did seem excited about was the AR-15 buyback. “If they offer a lot of money for my AR-15, it could be pretty worthwhile,” said nutjob Craig McGee. “Then I can use that money to buy more guns just as lethal... but through the black market, of course. Gotta avoid those background checks.”ster, who is planning a shooting spree, expressed similar concerns about the ban on “high-capacity” magazines. “Having to do a shooting spree and reloading after every tenth shot does sound irritating,” said Foster. “Despite the law, I might just use a high-capacity magazine anyway. I guess the question is whether I’m willing to deal with a possible fine on top of the multiple counts of murder.”

Maybe that also works in the USA- everybody already has a gun, so just take away the vote...

That's who I was thinking about when I posted it.  Let's take away the vote from everyone who wants free stuff.  :)

Venezuela? Really?

Here's what happened in Venezuela.
"Venezuelans regret gun ban, 'a declaration of war against an unarmed population'"

If fascist Venezuela is too small a country, how about fascist China?

So the debate started.  Should America do anything about the apparent Iranian drones that attacked Saudi oil installation or not?  Should the President just do something or should congress have to give the OK per the Constitution?

Or should the Europeans handle it since it's mainly their oil needed to warm their homes in the soon approaching winter?  AS it is, it will probably cost another EU1,000 per home for oil as the price has shot up.

All I know is, the last people I want figuring out what to do are a guy that can't be bothered to read intelligence briefs because he already knows everything, and a guy that thinks the Book of Revelation is a document pertinent to the Middle East political process.

The US has already done something. It has decided to be Saudi Arabia's bitch and pulled out of the Iranian nuclear entente. What is the long-term strategy here? Is there one?

Iran and Saudi Arabia hate each other for reasons of their own. Why would anyone think that the US has any useful part to play in this conflict? In what ways are things better because of past US involvement? What useful strategy has emerged from this administration? I'm not asking for solutions, just one indication of one step in the right direction.

Do you think that Iran would have backed such a drone attack if it had any respect or fear of the current US administration? Trump threatens all kind of things on Twitter every day, is anyone is still paying any attention to that drivel anymore?

The drone attacks probably happened in part because of perceived US weakness and incompetence at the top.

This is Saudi Arabia's problem, let them sort it out.

Saudi lobbiests regularly book dozens of rooms at Trump's DC hotel, maybe Iran should do the same.

I agree we should let the Saudi's fight their own battles.  On the other hand, what will Europe do?  After all, you need their oil to heat your homes.

This is why America will win the trade war with China.  They're losing business to Vietnam and their other competitors because of it.  Once supply chains start moving out of CHina, it will be hard to get them to return.

Should they use American weapons or Russian weapons to kill the population of Yemen?

Only a small amount of the energy (some 11% in 2017) used for residential heating is coming from oil derivatives.

A plague on all their houses.  Shia vs. Sunni, Iran vs. Saudi, etc. vs. etc.   Not our fight.  In fact, why are we still in Europe? The Communist Soviet Union collapsed 30 years ago. Today, the EU is more Marxist and Socialist than Russia.    Russia isn't going to attack Europe.   In any case, Europe is strong and rich enough to defend itself.  American troops there should return home.  China will be our problem in the future.
