    Amazing. :rolleyes: I feel so left out. DW brings up a good question, especially considering that most of the people hammering you on this thread are the main ones I've clashed with over the years. One thing we can all agree on ...

    C'mon. No one uses the phone anymore to call someone up.

    Are Dems lying, or do they not know the truth?

    As a guy, I have never been much of telephone person, but two or three times a year I'll make a round of calls to my brothers, a few close friends, my widower stepfather, couple others. I usually do it in the same couple day span. Last weekend was one of those times.

    Maybe the members of the party of the Old Angry White Males around here can explain this to me:

    We can't stop suspected terrorists from legally buying automatic weapons, because by doing so it means the terrorists win?

    Amirite?

    It means that they were deprived of due process rights as American citizens.

    We can't stop suspected terrorists from buying guns because they are suspected and haven't been convicted of anything.

    Unless you are fine with the government deciding who can buy guns.

    Take guns out of the equation. What right would you limit based on the FBI's belief you might in the future commit a crime?

    That's why we should not let anyone buy a handgun or rifle that holds more than six rounds.

    If you're under FBI investigation for mishandling classified documents, should you lose your security clearance and be denied national security briefings?

    Yep. The more I've read, the more I'm convinced laws that prohibit high-capacity magazines , as well as technology that makes it more difficult/time consuming to reload, make sense in terms of reducing carnage in mass shootings.

    Denied? Or delayed? Where in the Constitution does it say you have the right to buy an automatic weapon as quickly and easily as you can a bottle of Coca-Cola?

    Semi-automatic.
