I know I'm a nobody, but I'm inspired by
@currermell
to run this poll.
When is the last time you contacted your representatives regarding hot button issues and pending legislation to voice your support or opposition?
Please RT and share
@CJFerguson1111
Yeah, maybe don't shoot someone the second they open the door when there's no threat.
Simply holding a firearm, especially in a defensive position, is not a threatening posture in any scenario.
@krassenstein
Did he or anyone in the photo commit the shooting?
If not, why is this photo relevant? (Hint: it's not, you're just pandering for removing the rights of law abiding citizens)
@DarrigoMelanie
Please cite the bill in my state of AZ (or any other state you mentioned) that does what you claim.
There's absolutely nothing stopping the teaching of this
@paulapoundstone
If they had ruled as you seem to have wanted, would you have been ok with Texas courts taking a petition to disqualify Biden from their ballot citing an insurrection he's caused at the border?
If a sympathetic court agrees that would have been the case, would you support Texas
@tariqnasheed
"found innocent" isnt a thing.
He was found not guilty which means the prosecution didn't prove the allegations beyond a reasonable doubt.
@EdKrassen
Not sure what Republicans have said or even alluded to Putin being "the good guy" in any way, but keep making that false claim....it still won't be true...but keep making it.
@davidhogg111
Abortion is not banned anywhere.
Some states have restrictions on when an elective one can be performed. Some states have no restrictions at all.
The bump stock EO was Trump's, you realize that right?
@jemelehill
Thanks...i needed some comedy tonight......never mind the Latinos, African Americans and every other race that has casted votes for who they see as the best candidate in their eyes. Its ONLY white people voting for him
Smdh
@RBReich
Yes.
Because we don't have a pure democracy federally. All elections are through each state (and DC) and therefore to win the presidency, they must win the proper number of states and EVs to win the overall contest.
@cmclymer
You do know that's not why everyone has an issue with what happened in Waco, right?
They had plenty of opportunities to arrest him when he left the compound daily to go into town. The massacre was completely avoidable and the FBI/ATF were 100% in the wrong
@614clinton
Re: border.
What many seem not to realize is not everyone (in fact, most) won't qualify for asylum. Simply claiming financial hardship is not a qualifier to jump ahead of millions in line.
Pointing that out though means I'm not empathetic or caring though.
@Hoosier_Sooner
@DrDeath1776
@pt0kes
That's never been the case in our entire history.
No law would hold up that would make making your own firearms for personal use illegal.
@TristanSnell
Trump won't step foot in a jail cell
He's a first time offender.
Probation likely and fines is all that's coming. And that will be under appeal for a while, likely.
@jilevin
Yes, Burger was very much a fraud in this amalgamation of quotes from a parade magazine piece and a PBS interview.
And you're also a fraud for sharing it.
@dbenner83
@ninaturner
All of this.
It's amazing that people don't understand that the constitution puts barriers on what the government can do, not the people
@Elgatoblanco63
@GraduatedBen
"the state of the union is a state of unity. We must have unity of the states to have a United States. The states being in the union has been stated."
@BidenHQ
First 3 are unconstitutional. Simple as that. They aren't happening anywhere.
"Family separation": I'm assuming means at the border for illegals and that's been standard since the 90s due to higher instances of trafficking and many of the kids not being related to the adults
@NoLieWithBTC
It is a state issue. There's no federal marriage license.
Obergefell is in no danger anyways. It's ruling is solid in it's justification.
and before someone says it, Roe never was and it was way overdue for correction.
@JoeBiden
Both pieces of legislation, if passed and signed into law, would and should be challenged through the courts.
It's not a federal issue, nor should it be and no one should want it to be
@davidhogg111
It's Sunday.
Hundreds of millions of guns that have never been fired by a person at another person tell you it's not the guns, it's the people who don't care about the laws, the consequences or life in general that are the problem
@JoJoFromJerz
No, they actually aren't.
If anything, accounts like yours and the Krassenstiens (among others) are over celebrating something that is so weak.
I say that as someone who didn't vote Trump either time and not considering him currently
@EdKrassen
Guessing you've never heard about all the tragedies that have happened regarding people losing their guns and attachments in unfortunate boating accidents

@TRHLofficial
The mistake was thinking he cared about the constitution in the first place
This is going to fail and fail epically and I'm not sure it's a good thing at this point.
This was, by definition, a lose/lose scenario
@SethAbramson
Is this the same juror that's reportedly been dismissed for blatantly saying they wouldn't be impartial?
Also, why are so many details being made public about the jurors. I don't recall this happening in other high profile cases.
@joncoopertweets
Around 400 million guns in this country (that are known)
Only a half of a hundred thousandth of a percent of those guns (at most) are used in violent ways towards another intentionally or to one self accidentally.
How is it the guns?
It also takes a person to pull the trigger
@pattycake203
@PolitiBunny
@KarpahKillah
Many people believe 5 cops were killed on J6 at the hands of the protestors
Many also still believe Kyle Rittenhouse carried a rifle across state lines illegally and killed 2 people of color
Both of these are due to extensive misreporting
@NewtownAction
The constitution doesn't give rights, but it recognizes them.
The purpose of 2A, and all the others in the BoR, is to limit the government, not the people.
@ogajoquediz
@AdamGoldberg28
Close up shot of Truth
Gives a long, passionate and serious speech about how he's never been able to finish the story and how he wishes he could. Then looks off camera and says "you gotta finish this man"
Camera zooms out and shows Pierce shaking his head
@mmpadellan
If both sides are nervous about the contents, shouldn't that mean it's more important for the public to see the contents?
Also applies to the Epstein list, which needs to be released regardless of whos names are on it
@RyndVicki
@MayoIsSpicyy
You're free to have that wrong opinion.
If you haven't watched the trial, I think the local Kenosha news YouTube probably still has it up in its entirety. May wanna watch it so you can learn
@MorosKostas
Apparently in the dissents, they let it slip that ar-15s are commonly used as well.
Haven't read the whole thing but saw another account bring that up
@DanRiffle
@Loxpie1234
In both those scenarios, what you're describing is irrelevant.
Them crossing a crosswalk assumes the car would be stopped with no reason to go forward. If the kid isn't across by the time the signal changes, there's other issues at play.
@DeevonRahming
@kare11
This is absolutely disgusting. These people here protesting either:
A) didn't have all the facts at first, then upon hearing the facts stay in their mindset
B) know the facts, yet ignore them for an agenda
C) don't really care about those victimized by criminal
Or some combo
@TruckerRylea
@jeff_gluck
I mean, it's the first attempt at the double in 10 years, it's a newsworthy moment and Larson is arguably the best pure driver in North America regardless of the vehicle piloted, so it makes sense that he reports on it.
@AdamParkhomenko
Not seeing anyone saying the 10 year old was a liar.
There were some that called the story from Dr Bernard fake.
No evidence of this case was known until this morning when the article went live about charges being filed.
There was skepticism, but no one said the 10 y/o lied
@JoJoFromJerz
For those that seem to be confused on this and keep asking "but the government has.
..."
The answer is yes
Always yes.
If the government has it, the people should too. There has never been an instance of a government being more powerful than the people that has ended well.
@SethAbramson
It's also factually untrue that a gun where 1 pull of the trigger = 1 shot fired (semi automatic) can hit that rate in any realm of reality
So no, bump stocks do not turn any gun into a machine gun
@RBReich
The AWB has no discernable effect on gun violence when it was enacted and there's a reason it was allowed to sunset.
The "ban" was not on any make or models but mods and you needed a minimum of 2 of 5 mods to make the gun "illegal"
@fortweetssake61
@paulapoundstone
States can define it, according to the argument in favor of allowing what Colorados court did standing
Thankfully, SCOTUS understood that was complete nonsense
@currermell
@Ashley4MO
@buttkicker7
I'm willing to bet a good......90% of people reeeeing over Butkers comments didn't watch a single second of the speech and are practicing drive by rage
@aintscarylarry
@stormrobinson
Not maga at all and can't stand Trump
I have the same question
Care to answer and supply the specific statute violated and how?
@JoJoFromJerz
He didn't call Mexicans rapists
He didn't mock a disabled reporter
He never bragged about sexual assault.
There's plenty of actual reasons to oppose trump, stop spreading the ones that aren't true or are taken completely out of context
@AriBerman
@reveal
@MotherJones
Yes, because all states are equally represented in the Senate. There would be no reason for the states to join the union if they didn't have equal representation at the federal level.
The EC ONLY applies to the presidential race.
