It's all for people with simple minds who are unwilling or incapable of critical thinking.

The only thing that matters is the individual vs. the State. Liberty vs. authority.
And recreational nukes for all, right? -_-

That is an unfair generalization. I don't like it when they do it, and I especially don't like it when one of "us" does it.

As long as they're sold at a fair price with good service after the sale I'm all for it.

Once again that was because the poster does nothing to promote 'honest discussion'.

There's just one problem with that.

It would be a lie.

I guess this does away with one of the line items:

"Last year, Trump signed into law a repeal of Obama-era regulations that made purchasing a gun more difficult for people who receive Social Security payments for mental illnesses."

Trump should have done that.

That was a gross invasion of privacy put forth by an illegal Obama EO.

You gotta admit - if someone told you a former con man dug up gold tablets in a NY State cornfield that only he could see and read - and then established a religion which is mainstream now where the men got the pick of the litter, you would look at that person like they were crazy...

Given that the crazy is considered normal in this country (Scientology, etc.), it's quite difficult to have reasonable conversations. First, we must agree that the planet is more than 10,000 years old and that we come from the primate line. After that we can talk.

So you believe those with mental illness should be able to purchase guns? I guess so.

Funny - the same folks who seemed to be behind drug testing for food stamps and/or any type of government assistance now call it an invasion of privacy. Amazing. I'm spinning like a top.

Either way, the OP's line item is incorrect. Trump DID make it easier for mentally ill people to buy guns. Period.
