where is chode at?
The pre-packaged retort to this phenomena often repeated in the media is that the US causes the high homicide rates in Mexico by exporting guns to Mexico. We're told that criminals go into the US, buy guns legally in Texas (for example) and then sell the guns illegally to cartels in Mexico.
Dave Kopel has shown that this claim isn't true. But, even if it were true, it wouldn't explain much by itself since we're left asking ourselves why criminals don' just do the same thing to the same homicidal effect in the United States. If it's so fruitful for violent criminals to buy guns in the US and sell them to organized crime rings, why aren't those criminals doing the same thing in the US?
Well, the answer is the criminals probably are are well armed in the US, and have a lot of guns just like criminals in Mexico do. The difference in actual crimes carried out, however, likely lies in the fact that law abiding Mexicans have been disarmed, while law abiding Americans have not.
I'm a fiscal conservative. I don't believe in any term, besides of course the fact that the market should not be driven by the government and taxes should be incredibly low, as the government will play favorites for those it's in bed with.lol when's the last time you seen a "fiscal conservative" here post about the deficit
don't expect anything from them on trickle down either
Wow.Very Presidential and kind and polite and wow, just a great president isn't he?

A whole lot of people in America might be packing pistols. A group of researchers including academics from Harvard and Northeastern universities has estimated that 3 million adult handgun owners carry a loaded gun every day, with the vast majority saying they do it for protection.
Handgun owners who carry tended to be younger, to be more often male, to live in the South, to have grown up in a gun-owning household, to own more than one type of gun, and to identify as politically conservative, according to a study published Thursday in the American Journal of Public Health.
In addition to the 3 million who carried a gun every day, another 6 million people carried a gun at least once a month, researchers estimated.
The study was the first in more than 20 years to look at why, how often, and in what way adults carry loaded handguns, the university said.
Researchers reviewed the handgun-carrying behavior of 1,444 gun owners, using data from a 2015 nationally representative survey designed by Mathew Miller of Northeastern and Deborah Azrael of Harvard. The University of Colorado also participated in the research.
The research also found that 9 million people carry a loaded gun on a monthly basis.
WASHINGTON ― The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to advance U.S. District Court nominee Thomas Farr, a North Carolina attorney with a long record of defending laws that weaken voting rights for African Americans.
Farr, who is President Donald Trump’s choice for a lifetime seat on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, cleared the committee on a party-line vote. He now awaits confirmation by the full Senate.*A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Friday that he wasn’t sure when Farr’s vote would be scheduled.
Civil rights groups and the Congressional Black Caucus are outraged by Farr’s nomination,*claiming he has built a 38-year legal career on restricting voting rights and stripping protections from people of color.
Farr, 62,*defended North Carolina’s sweeping voter suppression law passed in 2013, one of the most restrictive in the country. The law required voters to present government-issued photo IDs in order to cast a ballot, shortened the early voting period and eliminated same-day voter registration and out-of-precinct voting.*
Farr is one of a number of controversial judicial nominees that Trump has put forward this year. With Republicans in control of the White House and the Senate,*conservatives have a lot of leeway to nominate and confirm whomever they want to lifetime jobs on the federal bench.
In July, the Senate confirmed John Bush to a lifetime post on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit. Bush has*compared abortion to slavery,*said he*strongly disagrees with same-sex marriage,*mocked climate change*and*proclaimed “the witch is dead”*when he thought the*Affordable Care Act*might not be enacted.
The Senate also confirmed Kevin Newsom to the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in August. Newsom wrote a 2000 law review article equating the rationale of Roe v. Wade to Dred Scott v. Sandford, the 1857 decision upholding slavery. He also*argued in a 2005 article*for The Federalist Society, a right-wing legal organization, that Title IX does not protect people who face retaliation for reporting gender discrimination. The Supreme Court later rejected that position.
Heh heh

The cannon fodder enabling they provide allows the capitalist to capture foreign markets and services, thereby extending hegemony.What do military goons in the US sacrifice exactly? I've never seen any CONservative answer this. What do they sacrifice? Lodging and food, benefits, good pay for mostly doing fuck all and definitely doing nothing actually useful to society. The US military is just a welfare program for murderous idiots.
She's no friend of the military, which also means she's no friend of empire. Maybe she'd even support HUGE tax cuts and HUGE cuts to the Pentagoners and MIIC.Empty barrels make the most noise.

There's no requirement to keep your shitposting confined to one thread. This is a thread about MAGA, it's not about your latest whim, fancy or stoner driven interest.
