still alive with the plethora of bills currently proposed (see link)...many of which would definitely not make it easier to vote...and when you're short on good policies or demonstrated performance for the American people, you do what you have to do to stay in power...ergo, the voter suppression bills.

  - I agree. I love Joe Biden. He got 81 million votes from sensible intelligent people. - ELP - 9:10am 5/29/22
- Outstanding list...and the Aussies have already shown us how to do it...LET's DO THIS! [NT] - TyroneIrish - 3:08pm 5/28/22
  - Yes, because I want to live in an open air penal colony. [NT] - Cole - 5:28pm 5/28/22
    - If the Aussies can do just fine without Assault Rifles, why can't you...have you no other interests? - TyroneIrish - 6:53pm 5/28/22
- Connor, for sake of discussion, assume all guns were eliminated in the US, then the tool of choice - jray - 1:31pm 5/28/22
  - We don't have to eliminate all guns...just follow Australia's lead..and it works. [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 3:35pm 5/28/22
    - "[a]cademic estimate, this amounted to about 20 percent of all privately owned guns in Australia." [LINK] - JarHead4ND - 10:45pm 5/28/22
      - Actually, JH, that's somewhat encouraging...just look at the results...only one mass shooting since [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 1:25am 5/29/22
  - Let’s run the experiment and see [NT] - Chris94 - 3:24pm 5/28/22
  - Do you envision the killer driving his car into a classroom? [NT] - conorlarkin - 1:45pm 5/28/22
    - What about a parade for children? Is that a concern at all? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 2:54pm 5/28/22
      - Ooops! Let's not talk about that. Doesn't fit - ColeyO - 6:17pm 5/28/22
    - Killers find a way. School machete attacks in UK and China show that. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 2:42pm 5/28/22
    - They’ll make it go boom and explode 100 kids at once [NT] - holybull101 - 1:49pm 5/28/22
  - Yep, car bombs are going to be fun, have to restrict sales of cars [NT] - holybull101 - 1:42pm 5/28/22
    - Car bombs were a dime a dozen in the 70's in St. Louis though always intended for individual pols & - JarHead4ND - 1:01am 5/29/22
- Re banning AR type guns... [IMAGE] - NedoftheHill - 12:58pm 5/28/22
- You require an ID to buy a gun, drive a car. Why are you discriminating against blacks? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 12:52pm 5/28/22
  - Let’s apply the Voter ID integrity laws that you seek, to firearm purchases. - conorlarkin - 1:49pm 5/28/22
    - You dodged my question. If ID laws are discriminatory, you must want an ID check too discriminate. - NedoftheHill - 2:41pm 5/28/22
      - Voter ID laws are designed to suppress turnout, and have been proven to be discriminatory. - conorlarkin - 3:26pm 5/28/22
        The guy who won't answer my question accuses me of deflecting. Nice try. - NedoftheHill - 1:42pm 5/30/22
        
        Where have voter ID laws suppressed turnout? [NT] - notredame678 - 3:43pm 5/28/22

        So none, thank you. [NT] - notredame678 - 10:25pm 5/28/22
        LOL...the only way you get to make that comment is by not reading my link...willful ignorance is - TyroneIrish - 1:29am 5/29/22
        The condescending linkman - WoodstockIrish - 6:42am 5/29/22
        Here's what Georgia's Voting Law "Tried" to do (see link)...thankfully, a lot of Georgians [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 12:21pm 5/29/22
        As proven in the last election, it did nothing of the sort. [NT] - notredame678 - 1:56pm 5/29/22
        Not for lack of trying on the part of the GOP ;-)...but there are other very disturbing laws [LINK] - TyroneIrish - 2:46pm 5/29/22
        As usual you do not post facts, just leftist tripe. - notredame678 - 3:00pm 5/29/22
    - Why not? Both are Constitutional rights. [NT] - notredame678 - 2:18pm 5/28/22
  - Ding ding ding, back ground checks are racist [NT] - holybull101 - 12:56pm 5/28/22
    - Notably, urban blacks are buying AR's in large numbers at gun shows. - NedoftheHill - 1:44pm 5/28/22
- it was hidden but what you really want is to be able to go after gun manufacturers. 18 or 21..why - WestCoastIrishFan - 12:41pm 5/28/22
  - Yes, missed that -absurd bullshit. Points out Left isnt reasonable in its negotiations [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 6:39am 5/29/22
  - And why age? Why not other demographic factors that directly relate to gun violence? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 12:45pm 5/28/22
    - because then it’s discriminatory. [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 12:54pm 5/28/22
      - And truth be told, Dems don't actually worry about urban black deaths due to crime. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 1:02pm 5/28/22
- Just for the record, there is already universal background checks for gun show purchases. - NedoftheHill - 12:26pm 5/28/22
  - Not for unlicensed dealers who frequent gun shows. [NT] - conorlarkin - 12:34pm 5/28/22
    - And not for "unlicensed dealers" who sell by meeting people on line or elsewhere. - NedoftheHill - 12:40pm 5/28/22
- I would go along with about 70% of those changes - BaronVonZemo - 12:07pm 5/28/22
  - So would a large majority of Americans. But, the gun lobby has "bought" the folks you vote for. [LINK] - conorlarkin - 12:30pm 5/28/22
    - Problem is you need to create a system which cannot be abused. For example... - NedoftheHill - 12:35pm 5/28/22
      - Exactly the problem. The Left DOES plan to abuse the power. [NT] - BaronVonZemo - 5:02pm 5/28/22
      - Then work the problem, Debbie Downer. Crafting effective legislation takes skill and foresight. - conorlarkin - 12:40pm 5/28/22
        It would help if Dems weren't trying to abuse laws. You guys are selective on enforcement of laws. - NedoftheHill - 12:43pm 5/28/22
        Yep. They can't be trusted. Demons. [NT] - jakers - 1:13pm 5/28/22
- I think the Democrat’s proposal of aborting them is the solution [NT] - holybull101 - 11:47am 5/28/22
