Re: 4.3 MILLION NICS checks last month

I caught a piece on nightly news that claimed something around 60% were new, first-time gunowners and of that 40% were female. And there were also some ATF stats revealed: https://www.ammoland.com/2021/02/leaked-atf-document-shows-americans-filed-512315-nfa-applications/ I wonder if I am the only o...

Re: 4.3 MILLION NICS checks last month

I don't believe it. I did not think there were 4.3 million guns left in the market to sell.

Re: impeachment this week or not

2. All rights in this Constitution apply to individual people and to groups of people equally. Rights may be restricted only for people who are involuntarily confined, either as a result of mental illness or as punishment for a conviction for committing a crime. I haven’t yet reviewed the rest of t...

Re: impeachment this week or not

I decided to repost this as a second draft. It has some things the recent news made me want to put in, plus Tam's advice on how to make term limits work including the bureaucrats. I also appreciate the other discussion and help with this. I am more than willing to listen to other suggestions, some o...

Re: impeachment this week or not

One of the big problems with term limits is that I have not yet figured out what is a reasonable term limit and how to allow for a good person to learn and work his way up through representative and into senator and then vice president or president. I could see keeping the current president/vice pr...

Re: impeachment this week or not

Without term limits your new system will fail just like the old one. Citizen statesman who go do the job for a few years and then return to private life is what the Founders envisioned. Creating a new swamp of lifetime politicians won’t work. You might be right about it. I think that this will not ...

Re: impeachment this week or not

Term limits for Reps and Senators? I am not a big fan of term limits for anyone. If they are not doing a good job, vote them out. I prefer to fix the system by making the elections more fair by not allowing any party affiliation or incumbency on the ballot and opening up ballot access. I am still c...

Re: impeachment this week or not

I agree with the part about abolishing any federal agencies not specifically allowed in the Constitution. Look for my next edit to add line 21. But with any kind of taxing authority given, which I feel we must have, that agency has to have a collections and enforcement arm. Audits are part of the en...

Re: impeachment this week or not

That said .... I would more than welcome such a convention occurring in the wake of a successful revolution/CW2/Balkanization, in which the cause of liberty is represented by the majority, and is immune to the quisling lunatics of the left. In that kind of light, I'd be very interested in how you w...
