This is obviously a reaction from gun nuts who believe their guns will be taken away as a result of the recent tragedy. Go look who the donate heavy to. They own the republican party. I don't think you quite understand any of this. You seem slow. Were you a slow learner in school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noonereal Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 No civilian should have access to semi-automatic weapons or accessories that make weapons automatic. Especially an 18-year-old kid. No matter what you call them, assault weapons, military-style weapons, or an extension of your penis, these weapons are built to be used in war. The 2nd amendment has been distorted to the point of perversion. Even the far right gun enthusiast and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said the 2nd amendment has its limitations on what can be owned by civilians. And I make these comments as a gun owner.

Especially an 18-year-old kid. Agreed that it's easy to make the case that accessories designed to circumvent the designed purpose of a firearm are not protected by the 2A. That's probably a slam dunk, and would be a "win" for the gun control mob to hang their hat on. Semi-automatic firearms aren't going away...that's a constitutional non-starter. The difficult part is that's the only way to ever make a dent in mass casualty events from a legislative perspective. An 18-year-old kid can join the military, and we give him a fully automatic weapon and tell him to kill people. I struggle with the idea that age should be involved...if that's the road we want to go down, then we probably just need to make 21 the official "adulthood" number (including voting) and be done with it.

Serious question, what was it about Obie that made people run for guns? The threat of legislation. Or mass hysteria, was any legislation passed?

Or was this one that caused some inner turmoil for some reason? Well, considering that the I didn't deem that tax cut was going to cost my pocket book anything, I didn't actually see any reason to be against it, in general. I like to try weighing these things on their own merit. As far as the turmoil, yeah, you can read where I feel like it should be unconstitutional to try curbing someone's right to express their political view by damaging them from a legislative perspective as an opposing political entity.

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 The Georgia GOP threatening Delta has them looking at other states... The Ohio Governor is already trying to woo Delta to relocate.... "We won't threaten you" Casey Cagle needs to get a fucking grip... Delta is actually helping our states economy... But because they severed ties with the NRA you're having a pissy fit... Wake the fuck up... The NRA isn't helping Georgia. All they want is to use your dumbass like a puppet... that's why they keep his pockets lined. Your concern should be the well being of the state of Georgia... The NRA isn't gonna contribute squat... These are jobs you're putting on the line... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be surprised...if Delta doesn't end up in Virginia. What started out as a joke is turning into a nightmare.

Anyone who thinks Delta is thinking about re-location is a fool. Has anyone heard of political posturing before? Delta says, sorry NRA, we can't in good faith stand behind you anymore. Casey Cagle says, "It's an attack on conservatives!" and commences to kill a tax cut legislation designed to help Delta do better in the state of Georgia. Delta hints that they could pull operations and move to a different state that is offering "more friendly" taxes and incentives. The ball is in Cagle's court. It could end up like this... Or it could end up like this... Most likely is the first option, but, if some other state is offering inventives that cover the "lost jet fuel tax cut" and a lot of the moving expense, then it's totally not impossible that Delta could really pull up and move. It's a competitive world for businesses and huge employers like that. On the bright side, Amazon hasn't pulled their offhand support for the NRA (using FedEx shipping) yet and they still have Atlanta in the running for a new headquarters. Of course watching how the state legislators play political extortion with large corporations could change Amazon's mind about moving to such a place. Good luck Atlanta and Cagle. May your game of political chicken pan out good for the state of Georgia and city of Atlanta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
