RE: Where I Stand On Gun Control - A Canadians Perspective

in #business6 years ago

Yes, but again, the operative question that goes yup the root of the issue, is, "who gets to decide?" the very same federal government that seeks to limit our rights. If given that power, they would, under the guise of public safety end up finding cause to restrict access to an inordinate number of citizens. Considering the number of people in prescription psychotropic drugs, or a past history of such prescriptions, plus minor recreational drug use, etc, and you have recipe for wholesale gun ban. We have to remember, that in the USA, the right to bear arms was buoy for hunting, or even home defense, but rather as a safeguard against tyranny. Thus, the government has a conflict of interest and should recuse itself in this issue.

Sort:  

I think your on to something. You don't deny the truth. You're concerned over who's in power, and how freedoms can be taken away. I guess we need a citizen government setup, where average citizens are entrusted to make tough decisions. It would be a complicated structure to design, but it might be the right path forward.

I don't understand why the word "not"is so difficult for me to type. Didn't mean to type buoy

Thus, the government has a conflict of interest and should recuse itself in this issue.

I did not think of that one - nor seen it anywhere else. Bravo....since Sessions is a specialist at it, maybe we should ask him to issue a ruling on this?
:)

I still believe Sessions did the right thing in recusing himself, for two reasons:

  1. it wasn't about "Russia", it was about him recusing himself from investigating a person that he had campaigned for. Very principled.
  2. hand the investigation over to those who were clearly involved in Clinton corruption with Russia, giving them more rope to hang themselves, and more corners to paint themselves into. High-strategery, the same caliber of "strategery" underpinning the reason Trump announced his candidacy so early. To force never-Trumpers into heel, and stifle any primary challengers - particularly with the big political capital he has after coming off an historic tax cut/reform win.

I don't know much about him (from before being chosen, but seeing the guy he appointed to the FBI also (maybe seem?) turn against him, it has made me wonder. He could be picking good people, but the deepstate is getting to them one way or another, or theey could be pretending, so as to be effective, or it could be that whoever he chooses, they are all rotten.

Anyway, my comment about Sessions was meant to be a slice of humour, because we must remain capable of laughing at them and ourselves, or else we could grow afraid and become paralysed.

Oh, I caught your humor! With exception of Seasons and a few others, the boots in the administration were recruited by Rancid Penis, many of which were never Trumpers declaring open revolt against Trump. One thing that I don't like about sessions is his war against medical marijuana

Please check my comment re latest news (on this page). It sure made me happy. I guess Trump knew what would happen, so he appeared to favour change, knowing it would be blocked.

Yes, Ann Coulter best encapsulated this:

Democrats: We demand $30!

Republicans: We'll give you $10.

Democrats: OK, $200.

Lindsey Graham: DEAL!
