Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

He was turning at Hillary Clinton.

 

I understand that.

 

I'm being sarcastic, of course.

Did you not catch the veiled reference to HRC?

 

I did. I meant to italicize "constitutional rights."

 

I'm aware you'll never stop banging your same tired drum. Bang away.

But how can anyone take Trump seriously when he spews crap like that?

 

Instead of preventing people who the FBI has investigated twice for terrorist ties from making a purchase, how about a system that alerts authorities the person just bought firearms?

 

Nobody should take THE PIG seriously because of pretty much all the crap he spews. This is just today's heaping helping.

 

Works for me.

I've long said we need to employ data mining.

 

That's not legal. The NRA got it written into law that the Feds could not have a computerized firearms registry. That information is on registration cards and has to be searched by hand, unless things have changed. I doubt it has, the NRA being what it is.



I looked it up, there are several databases but they are fragmented deliberately. I'm not certain how long a search actually takes now when you get a player like the NSA involved, law or no law.

excerpt:

Registry prohibition

This section has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality. Discussion of this nomination can be found on the talk page. (March 2009)
The Act also forbade the U.S. Government agency from keeping a registry directly linking non-National Firearms Act firearms to their owners, the specific language of this law (Federal Law 18 U.S.C. 926 (18 U.S. Code § 926 - Rules and regulations) being:

No such rule or regulation prescribed [by the Attorney General] after the date of the enactment of the Firearms Owners Protection Act may require that records required to be maintained under this chapter or any portion of the contents of such records, be recorded at or transferred to a facility owned, managed, or controlled by the United States or any State or any political subdivision thereof, nor that any system of registration of firearms, firearms owners, or firearms transactions or disposition be established. Nothing in this section expands or restricts the Secretary's authority to inquire into the disposition of any firearm in the course of a criminal investigation.
Nevertheless, the ATF Firearms Tracing System (FTS) contains hundreds of millions of firearm tracing and registration records, and consists of several databases:

1. Multiple Sale Reports. Over 460,000 (2003) Multiple Sales reports (ATF F 3310.4 - a registration record with specific firearms and owner name and address - increasing by about 140,000 per year). Reported as 4.2 million records in 2010.[12]
2. Suspect Guns. All guns suspected of being used for criminal purposes but not recovered by law enforcement. This database includes (ATF's own examples[citation needed]), individuals purchasing large quantities of firearms, and dealers with improper record keeping. May include guns observed by law enforcement in an estate, or at a gun show, or elsewhere.[citation needed] Reported as 34,807 in 2010.[12]
3. Traced Guns. Over 4 million detail records from all traces since inception.[12] This is a registration record which includes the personal information of the first retail purchaser, along with the identity of the selling dealer.
4. Out of Business Records. Data is manually collected from paper Out-of-Business records (or input from computer records) and entered into the trace system by ATF. These are registration records which include name and address, make, model, serial and caliber of the firearm(s), as well as data from the 4473 form - in digital or image format. In March, 2010, ATF reported receiving several hundred million records since 1968.[13]
5. Theft Guns. Firearms reported as stolen to ATF. Contained 330,000 records in 2010.[12] Contains only thefts from licensed dealers and interstate carriers (optional).[12] Does not have an interface to the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC) theft data base, where the majority of stolen, lost and missing firearms are reported.[citation needed]

 

Trump comes across as the classic Monday morning quarterback in these situations. It's easy to say "I would have done Y" when it's painfully obvious X didn't work. Decisions like that are a heck of a lot more difficult in the moment.

 

The worse Trump treats him, the more devoted Chritie becomes towards him:

 

Wonder what kind of "special sauce" is on THE PIG'S Big Mac?
