And if you view the video above, you will get this.....

This is one of my favorite videos and shows the insane rants of "evil" guns. Among other things banned is "barrel shrouds" on guns which makes them an "assault" weapon. It is like bayonet lugs. I have been a police officer for 33 years, have worked on over 100 homicides and I have yet to see anyone get bayoneted. In fact I have yet to see a bayonet mounted on a weapon even if just for looks. Yet, if a weapon has a place to put a bayonet on a barrel, it is super deadly and can kill mass quantities of people. Of course those that come up with such rules have no idea what they are talking about and merely look at a photo of a gun and figure out what features they can visually see in order to find a reason to ban it.

Ok. The SCOTUS disagrees with you.

Since voter ID is apparently the change in topic, in 2008 the SCOTUS upheld Indiana's voter ID law which is much more restrictive than TX. In the IN law a person without an ID had to vote and then show up in front of a panel within 10 days with an ID or sign an affidavit of not being able to afford one. TX gives them out for free.

You do realize that what you quoted was not a SCOUTS decision and was a Circuit court. The SCOTUS has already upheld a voter ID law on a 6-3 vote. New cases will get back to the Court, (maybe the one from TX) and the new SCOTUS with a Trump nominee might very well (likely) keep the previous ruling in place.

And I am not sure how the discussion got off on the tangent of voter ID when this topic is about gun control.

No, they didn't.

No, rights are a big issue with me. On a couple of posts I have clearly brought up other rights that we could trim a bit and be a lot safer. Apparently you only lock in on the guns. If you can figure a way to stop mass shootings (and rifle bans will not do it), please enlighten us.

It is yet another reason to complain. In TX a voter ID is free and if you cannot get one for free, you can still cast a ballot. Why is that restrictive? The simplest answer is that it isn't. The SCOTUS already upheld voter ID by a 6-3 vote.

Who knows, maybe in your zest to make your case, you overstate your beliefs. The time we start opting for safety over personal rights is when that ball rolling down the hill starts picking up speed. How many murders have gone free because the police violated their rights, even if unintentionally? Let's simply do away with those rights and that will not happen.

When you say that you are willing to take safety over a right, that is too extremely.

Well, it is only suppression in those pesky southern states. Up north is it perfectly acceptable.

You are dealing out Kool Aid by the gallon. If you confiscated (not merely banned future sales) of AR-15, AK-47 or similar guns tomorrow, you will do absolutely nothing to even slow mass shootings. When I said you have no clue, I meant exactly that. Your knowledge of guns seems weak at best although you did spell Glock correctly.

This might be your best yet. As long as it helps people, to heck with rights. I can guarantee that many more violent crimes will be prevented and solved if the police can stop anyone without reasonable suspicion. If we just trim a little fat off of the 4th Amendment, many less people will be murdered. And while we are on trimming fat, if we can get rid of that pesky freedom of speech issue in the 1st Amendment, we would have less arguments and therefore less violence. Heck, we can go all through this Constitution thing and makes us all a lot safer. I am not making that up and firmly believe that if we give up certain rights, we will definitely have a safer place to live. I am not ready to give up those rights, the men that wrote and debated over the Constitution were fully aware of what may lurk ahead. You are the very reason that they wrote and passed the Bill of RIghts shortly after ratifying the Constitution itself.

So obviously you have no clue what you are talking about.......

Next we will find out that Trump doesn't floss every day or that he twists Oreo cookies apart and licks the filling out before he dips the cookies in milk.

Meaning.... Trump is not the president? NEWSFLASH: It's too late to make a case. The darling of the left lost. Trump was a school yard bully. He has made locker room comments that were crude. Trump has made good and bad business deals, some of which ended in bankruptcy. Trump has gone through a bevy of wives before settling on the current soon to be first lady who was a trophy bride from another country. So what? Nothing changes that fact that the Dems put up the one candidate that allowed Trump to exist politically and it cost them. Without Hillary, we might have been looking at a Marco Rubio vs. Cory Booker race or a Ted Cruz vs. Andrew Cuomo but noooooooooo ..... the Dems did not want to try and upset the Clinton Machine. To show how lousy she was, her only real challenger was a guy that has been an independent since he came into Congress 25 years ago. Bernie Sanders was not even a Democrat. He only caucuses with the Democrats so he can get committee assignments and he doesn't have only himself to meet with... and he nearly won. After putting up one of the worst candidates in American political history and causing Donald Trump to even exist politically, we now have the left wanting to point out every flaw ever seen in Trump, of which he has many. Suck it up lefties, you caused it with your love affair with an unwinnable candidate and the Dems that had a real chance to win were not going to go against The Machine. Hopefully you can mount a challenge in 2020 and with the Clintons finally out of politics, maybe we can move on. On the other hand if Bill and Hillary keep meddling internally, you might be in for a long ride....................

It must have been Russia who didn't want the third term of Obama. He has been such a powerful military leader and wields that power with reckless abandon. Leaders around the world are in awe and fear of his quick trigger finger and his threatened red lines. I can see where the Russians were for Trump..............

Too funny, First, surely you don't believe that dribble and are just stirring the pot. I get it. Secondly, you are talking about a generation that has a tendency toward rap music which can be so far beyond a locker room statement it is hardly comparable. I might suggest counseling and strong anti-psychotic drugs for those on the left that actually believe that we will go back any time.... except maybe any time before Obama.

Obama and his mouthpiece Kerry are both out of their minds. To tell a country that they can be a Jewish state or a democratic state but can't be a democratic Jewish state is crazy. Talk about arrogance............

A horrible story of abuse. Either get him counseling now or you have one other choice. Fabricate a homemade hoop about 3 feet in diameter and give him a participation trophy if he tries to make it.

Yet another Obama temper tantrum. They need to start calling our current president William Tecumseh Obama since he has started his scorched earth policy.

This might be a good time to go into psychology in some form as a profession. Prospects are bright for the future.

With absolutely nothing to lose with his political career over and Hillary's election is toast, Obama is now showing his true colors. Look for another flurry of action trying to undermine the country for the future and to deny anyone else ability to undo it.

In a few more days, Obama's legacy might be sealed. From pardoning hundreds of hardened criminals, throwing Israel under the bus and trying to end all offshore oil exploration forever.... in a couple of more moves he will have his legacy, and he will not like it.
