Actually, that's how we feel about progressives. They think in linear terms like "ban guns and violence will go away" and "there is no debt problem" and "welfare helps the poor"

Yes, that perpetual third grade fantasy must be nice.

You're right, because they're trying to make it so that a law abiding citizen can never own a gun in the first place.

And this administration is pushing so many different buttons that many are going to see their line crossed.

The US is a powder keg waiting to blow.

They are inching on my line..government wanting to manage my retirement money.
Aren't you a school teacher?

You think I'm talking about a government pension here ?
Keep up with current events.

401K/IRA money sitting in banks and brokerages.
That would be MY money now wouldn't it ?

Would you prefer letting the banks and brokers have their way with your money or would you prefer they be regulated with how they invest your money for you?

The SEC already regulates investments.

They are regulated by the SEC and I manage my investments myself.
Do you not have a 401K or IRA that you don't know how it works ?

It has nothing to do with regulation. Go read up on their reasons.
This thread is about gun limitations and I don't want to derail it any further.

Anything over a certain amount and it should be all taken from you and given to them.

As someone else said on this thread, your guns are the beginning. Its ONLY going to get worse. Much worse.
smdh, i love how you cons believe you can read minds. Please show us where anyone in elected office or a poll that says the majority of liberals feel that way.

True, yet you are the one who brought up the government regulating or "managing" your retirement investments.

Food Stamps limited, these are not in the Constitution but my gun right is. So if you can't keep your hands of my constitutional right I now support limitation on your rights.
ROFL.....what an inane thread idea.

So you want to OUTLAW Divorce for straight couples.

See how far that lame idea gets ya!
