The article does point out some sheer stupidity on the opponents of the proposed law. It brings up the mass shooting in El Paso in 2019 as an example of why the law does not need to be changed. The only problem with bringing up that case in reference to this bill is that it was perpetrated with an AK-47, not a handgun. This law only applies to the carrying a handguns. What does an AK-47 have to do with this law? Absolutely nothing. Well, that is not entirely true. Had this proposed law been in place at that time, perhaps some people might have had a handgun on them and they able to protect themselves.2 points

There is the law but then there is other parts of the law that are attached. It is like self-defense. Technically you murdered a person because you intentionally shot the person and he died. But you cannot simply say that it is murder because there’s another law they says it is not murder if there’s a valid reason. It is a defense to prosecution meaning that if that defense occurs, there is no crime. It is the same thing with causation. Even if you could believe that the officer might have killed him recklessly, under the law if Floyd might have died anyway or the officers actions alone would not have been sufficient, then just like self-defense it is not guilty. All that is required is any reasonable doubt. From the testimony I heard there should definitely be reasonable doubt.1 point -

How Dare These Corporations
SmashMouth reacted to Hagar for a topic
Now, that’s all Liberals have. They’re losing Orange man bad, but still rely on it. Now it’s Conservatives Bad. They wanted to continue using 1/6, but 1/6, as bad as it was, isn’t a blip on the radar compared to Liberal Anarchist controlling parts of American cities, and all the killing, burning, and looting by BLM & Antifa. I’m surprised one was brave (stupid?) enough to post anything, but I guess UTalum’s frustration with his/her own party caused him/her to just last out while in the arms of Jack Daniels.1 point -

Voter suppression? Like voter ID? That’s not suppression, that’s common sense. We’re one of the very few countries that don’t require Voter ID. Perhaps you should read this. No! You really need to read this. [Hidden Content]1 point -

What has he done besides make New York safe while he was Mayor? I listened to him last night in an interview. He claims his innocence. I have no reason to believe he is not telling the truth. Remember, he was "America's Mayor" until he supported trump.1 point -

Andrew Brown Shooting
CardinalBacker reacted to SmashMouth for a topic
Of course it was. But like you, I am only going on the main points. Without hearing the entire case, it’s mere conjecture for anyone to give a definitive opinion. That being said, after reading their laws for 3rd degree murder & 2nd degree manslaughter, I don’t think a guilty verdict was a reach. The Guilty verdict doesn’t bother me; however, I don’t think the death of Floyd was a result of racism. More like a result of Chauvin’s pride, ignorance, stupidity and poor policing on his part. BUT - Had Floyd followed the officers’ instructions from the get go, he would still be alive today, doing drugs and committing crime. That’s not a factor in Chauvin’s guilt though per the Minnesota law.1 point -

I'm even MORE amazed that the UNDEFEATED 5A state championship coach is not coach of the year....THAT IS RIDICULOUS. Congrats to David Green from Beaumont United on a perfect season, because its obvious that people in SE Texas think that all you did was roll the balls out and won state! Utterly RIDICULOUS.1 point -
Assuming that you were correct and the 10th amendment takes care of much of this then states that ban firearms is OK. You can’t say that Texas could make something legal under the 10th amendment but New York cannot make an illegal under the 10th amendment. You cannot have it both ways if that is your basis for an argument. It is like people like the 10th amendment sometimes but do not like it others. The Supreme Court has ruled on at least four occasions that the state has the authority to quarantine and force vaccinations under state policing powers. That is because it is not addressed in the Constitution. All during this Covid to do, I have seen over and over including in this forum that is unconstitutional to force people to wear masks. So which is it? It is disingenuous to say that states can do anything that’s not in the constitution and them turn around and get angry when they do just that. I mean we can disagree about the state decision but how are you going to claim it as unconstitutional? You mention abortion as if it has to be spelled out. Abortion was ruled as a personal liberty under the 14th amendment and a right to privacy. The Constitution has certain restrictions and general rules. It is not specific to what is legal or illegal in most cases. It leaves much of it up to the federal government and the states such as in Article I in the authority to regulate interstate commerce by the US Congress. It does not specifically state what that interstate commerce is. So it is not valid to make the argument that the government cannot require a permit to cross state lines because that is not in the constitution. No it isn’t it is under the general authorities in Article I. And since you want to mention the Constitution, Article III says that if there is any question as to what the Constitution means, the Supreme Court gets to make the decision. The ultimate state rights argument while speaking about the Second Amendment and the 10th amendment, The Texas Constitution roughly mirrors the 2nd Amendment however it says that the state has the authority to set restrictions. So if the 10th amendment defers to the states, the Texas Constitution allows restrictions on carrying a firearms. I am all for removing all or most restrictions on firearms. Simply claiming something is unconstitutional if not a valid argument in court unless you can win it on appeal ultimately in front of the US Supreme Court. Let’s say you go to trial in Texas for unlawfully carrying weapons for a handgun. Prosecution present their case and then passes it off to the defense. Your lawyer stands up and says, “Your honor, the 2nd and 10th amendments. The defense rests”. I suspect you might as well go ahead and wait for your jail time because that is not going to win in court.1 point
