they want to stay home and raise children and cook and clean and never get a job?
How is raising children not a job? It's the entire reason why women biologically screen mates on their net-worth.

The Democrats just want to redefine what a quid pro quo is so that they can extend 4 more years of whataboutism to cover their chronic incompetence to solve problems in the nation.
Just like they redefined racism to include anything remotely related to nationalism.
It's the age of newspeak 1984 style. Obey authority.

that's more of a problem with having no limits on authority.
Is the taxpayer harmed any less when a politician appoints an incompetent lobbyist to an office over their incompetent child?
Nope. You should hear the people in Biden's cabinet struggle to find answers to basic questions. In some cases, Hunter would probably do a better job.

That's because every woman is genetically designed to seek validation. It's completely instinctual and one of the ways she seeks an alpha mate.
If she is validated by a beta mate, she leaves for an alpha one.

I've been pretty clear on this from the word go.NO NEPOTISM.NO INHERITANCE
So Parents shouldn't be allowed to pay for their kids college or anything for their kids,
Some ambiguous arbitor in Washington DC will equally allocate all funds to all kids,

anti-corruption and economic development measures
This statement is an oxymoron to anyone who has studied history and noted the universal correlation between foreign aid and local corruption of the nations receiving the aid. Africa is poor and corrupt because of the aid, not in spite of it.
Foreign aid also teaches foreigners that America is a welfare state and not a state of sovereign laws, so it is no wonder they jump the border looking for more when the aid runs out.

That's typical whataboutism. Using extreme isolated examples from 10 years ago to justify the norm that is the mass daily slaughter of black kids in schools with handguns.
Whatever, maybe America deserves to lose its Black kids to handguns in schools. It's not like people actually care about anything anymore. Not really.

The kids shooting each other shit is much more obscene though. If you guys can sort that, shoot each other away tbh. Be like a western, I'll watch on.
Most of the kids are actually shot full of holes in drive-bys and turf war crossfire. Even the wild west was actually far less deadly than today, especially for the kids.
Gun fights were actually very uncommon historically in the Wild West. While many men carried guns for self defense rarely were men shooting at each other in the middle of the street like Hollywood portrays. Even notable legends like Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday had very few shootouts. A list of gunfights for the approximately 70 years of the “Old West" would be a very short one if you took the time to source it all out.
Most men carried guns for protections from animals and potential Indian attacks which were also not that frequent. And indeed many men did not carry guns at all, certainly not handguns, they usually kept rifles handy though.
While the idea of all men carrying a Colt and ready to shoot someone at a moments notice... that is Hollywood's creation, it is not a depiction of real life. Reality is, as usual, a lot different than Hollywood and their fantasies.
The Wild west was actually WAY less dangerous than today with rifle ownership rates far exceeding handgun ownership rates. Today, it's exactly the opposite. Most guns today are handguns, and that is where almost all of the gun deaths originate. And the rifle is always given the blame for handgun deaths somehow. Every time.
If only America could have been as safe as it was 150 years ago.

Meanwhile your kids are bringing assault rifles to school and blowing each other away.I don't know why anyone enters earnest discussion with this shit.
That's actually not what usually happens. Most of the unreported school shootings involve black kids, gangs, and handguns. Most of the handguns used are the same kinds of handguns the military uses, but we don't call them "military grade"
I can source all this out for you if you need proof.
All the media focus on some obscure scary looking gun of the day is just a deflection from the real problems to avoid accountability for bad policies that encourage decades-old chronic handgun deaths at schools. Nothing is really going to change and maybe it shouldn't. Maybe America is a better nation for allowing massive amounts of handgun violence. Who am I to argue otherwise?
just for fun, here is a very recent mass shooting carried out with just military grade handguns.
God Bless America!

@n8nrgmi
why are you race baiting? you're just as bad as those liberal race baiters, just from another angle
Because every gun control law that is specifically designed to kill as many Blacks as possible is absolutely racist.
i dont want to ban hand guns, because people need to be able to defend themselves and a gun is often the only way they effectively can.
A handgun isn't the best gun for home defense and you should know that. It is the best gun for killing Blacks though and that is backed by cold hard facts.
The actual reason why you don't want to ban handguns is because less Blacks would die, and no racist Democrat wants that.

that reconciles with my stat that we have a mass shooting per day, and that assault rifles are a weopon of choice when that happens.
Not in the Black community. Why are you purposely being racist?

@n8nrgmi
it's not a big deal that we ban assault rifles,
Then it's also not a big deal if we don't ban them.
Black kids are still going to be gunned down en mass at schools with handguns while racist Democrats give fuck-all.
So it doesn't matter. (as usual and as predicted)
Why are you defending the party that encourages handgun deaths and the mass killings of Black skinned people?

Sorry, but black on black murders are just not as thrilling to a gated liberal seated high up in the arena stands of the gladiator pit.
They are not entertained.
Racist media watchers make for a racist media. And the media only shows what sells in the world of infotainment.
Racist armchair Democrats want the thrill that comes with imagining all sorts of scary things that could happen to them personally if they should leave their gated nest. Black on Black reporting won't do it for them.

However, most of the mass-shootins is not done with a knife.
you are correct. The vast majority of shootings in schools in California are done with handguns wielded by African Americans. Not that the racist media gives a fuck about the final solution for them.

- Black children and teens had the highest gun death rate in 2017 (11.2 per 100,000) followed by American Indian/Alaska Native children and teens (5.6 per 100,000).
- Black children and teens were four times more likely to be killed or injured with a gun than their white peers.
- Although Black children and teens made up only 14 percent of all American children and teens, they accounted for 41 percent of child and teen gun deaths.
- Eighty-six percent of children and teens who died from gunfire in 2017 were boys. Boys were six times more likely than girls to die in gun homicides. Black boys were 17 times more likely to be killed in gun homicides than white boys.
- 84 percent of gun deaths and 91 percent of gun injuries among children and teens occurred among 15- to 19-year-olds. Infants and toddlers were not immune, however. Guns killed twice as many children under 5 as law enforcement officers in the line of duty
But yeah...lets only worry about the white on white crime and scary rifles when it suits a racist Democrat.

They tried controlling the deadliest gun in America, the handgun, with Stop and frisk, and the Liberals said that kind of gun control is unacceptable.

Like the Swiss Army Knife, the popular AR-15 rifle is a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle, the AR-15 is the kind of versatile gun that lies at the intersection of the kinds of firearms protected under District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008) and United States v Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939). Yet, the State of California makes it a crime to have an AR15 type rifle. Therefore, this Court declares the California statutes to be unconstitutional.
Plaintiffs challenge a net of interlocking statutes which impose strict criminal restrictions on firearms that fall under California’s complex definition of the ignominious “assault weapon.” Hearings on a preliminary injunction were consolidated with a trial on the merits pursuant to F.R.C.P. Rule 65(a)(2). Having considered the evidence, the Court issues these findings of fact and conclusions of law, finds for the Plaintiffs, and enters Judgment accordingly.
The Second Amendment “elevates above all other interests the right of law-abiding, responsible citizens to use arms in defense of hearth and home.” Heller, 554
U.S., at 635. The Supreme Court clearly holds that the Second Amendment protects guns commonly owned by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes. At the same time, “the Second Amendment confers an individual right to keep and bear arms . . . that ‘have some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia.’ And although the Supreme Court cautioned that the Second Amendment does not guarantee a right to keep and carry “any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose,” Heller, 554 U.S., at 626, lower courts have often cited this proviso about extreme cases to justify gun laws in average contexts.
There is no evidence that the Supreme Court intended that language to be a license to avoid its common sense holding in average contexts. Unfortunately, Heller’s
acknowledgement of exceptions for gun laws at the extreme is in danger of swallowing Heller’s rule for the average case.
This case is not about extraordinary weapons lying at the outer limits of Second Amendment protection. The banned “assault weapons” are not bazookas, howitzers, or machineguns. Those arms are dangerous and solely useful for military purposes. Instead, the firearms deemed “assault weapons” are fairly ordinary, popular, modern rifles. This is an average case about average guns used in average ways for average purposes. One is to be forgiven if one is persuaded by news media and others that the nation is awash with murderous AR-15 assault rifles. The facts, however, do not support this hyperbole, and facts matter.
Federal Bureau of Investigation murder statistics do not
track assault rifles, but they do show that killing by knife attack is far more common than
murder by any kind of rifle. In California, murder by knife occurs seven times more
often than murder by rifle. For example, according to F.B.I. statistics for 2019,
California saw 252 people murdered with a knife, while 34 people were killed with some
type of rifle – not necessarily an AR-15.
A Californian is three times more likely to be
murdered by an attacker’s bare hands, fists, or feet, than by his rifle. In 2018, the
statistics were even more lopsided as California saw only 24 murders by some type of
rifle. The same pattern can be observed across the nation.
-HON. ROGER T. BENITEZ
United States District Judge
I stand corrected by the Judge. The Swiss Army Knife is seven times more deadly than an AR-15. At least in California.

It's ironic that knives... Swiss Army or otherwise...are responsible for 5 times more deaths than ANY rifle...AR-15 or otherwise.
If ONLY the AR-15 could be as deadly as a Swiss Army knife....

@bmdrocks21
It's actually too bad the AR-15 can't be folded up like a swiss army knife so it could have some real competition for the deadliest firearm in the Nation.
But only the guns used by people of a certain protected skin color are truly protected by the constitution.

I know I'm coming off kind of abrasive in this thread, but it's so tropey the number of anti-capitalists that never set foot on a farm and never set foot in a communist country nor ever talked to a person who fled a communist country. And then they loudly complain that capitalism hasn't provided more than their already objectively provable cushy lifestyle.
I actually had a Venezuelan roommate for 3 years. Now that was a learning experience.
