Alito's Flag Pole
Aristides replied to gatomontes99's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I am saying that. You will never hear a Canadian supreme court justice expressing political views. They have more respect for their position and responsibilities in a constitutional democracy. A judge's job is to be impartial, that's why we have them. -

Bullshit. The Republicans and Trump were very open about their intentions when they stacked the court. -

The SCOTUS is not supposed to be political, its job is to interpret the constitutionality of the laws made by politicians. Its credibility depends on it and things like this is why their public credibility is at an all time low. It is supposed to be one of those checks and balances that Americans like you no longer believe in. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/07/21/favorable-views-of-supreme-court-fall-to-historic-low/ https://theweek.com/instant-opinion/1014690/attitudes-toward-the-supreme-court -
Why do you need guns for self defence, only because everyone has them? it was your logic. Because it is legal to sell guns to anyone in the US, you bear no responsibility for those smuggled into other countries. If drugs were made legal in other countries, they should bear no responsibility for those smuggled into the US. Same goes for the drugs coming the other way to pay for those guns.

The vast majority of vehicle deaths are accidental, not homicide or suicide. Killing people is quite easy if you are given the right tool. Otherwise, not so much Guns are not lawful in Mexico. I guess if Mexico made drug manufacturing and sales legal, that would make it OK to sell them to criminals who are smuggling them into the US. Fair is fair. They obtain them illegally from Americans.

Firearms homicide rates have nothing to do with suicides. Yours is at least 5 times that of most European countries and 3 times Canada. Killing people with a gun is easy and remote. Who is selling those guns to criminals? What is the difference between your gun manufacturers and dealers and drug dealers?

You have to have a license to drive a truck. The truck also has to be licensed. Almost 50% more people are killed by firearms in the US than all motor vehicles combined. Which is the greater threat? Your 2nd Amendment isn't worth shit anywhere but your own country and it doesn't give your gun companies the right to dump guns in someone else's country. Get over yourself.
