Gun laws in the US vary state by state and in the cities. So are you saying gun control laws are working in Chicago? What always seems to be lost is the fact that criminals don't care about obeying laws. Chicago shootings: 46 shot, 10 fatally, in Memorial Day weekend violence across city, police say - ABC7 Chicago There's also quite a high death toll from drug overdoses but very little protest from the left. Drug overdoses now kill more Americans than guns; heroin, prescription opioid painkillers to blame - CBS News

On the one article I looked at it didn't mention anything about tougher sentencing for those using guns to actually commit crimes but then that's the Liberal way. Just go after the low hanging fruit as usual. Trudeau says he'll make streets safer but his new gun bill won't help | Toronto Sun Trudeau is the master of virtue signaling though. But what a drama queen!

I don't profess to be a gun expert but I think assault rifles and assault style rifles are two different things. Assault rifles can go fully automatic while assault style rifles are semi automatic. I agree nobody needs machine guns and certain people should not be allowed to own firearms, like those with criminal records or mental illness. I think a lot of law abiding Americans would like to have the right to own handguns for protection. I bet there are a lot of frightened people in Chicago that would feel more secure with a gun in the home while the gangs are shooting it out on the street. The US and other countries might want to look at Switzerland as an example. In Switzerland, gun ownership is high but mass shootings are low. Why? - Big Think I think it's unfair to assume the NRA wants guns in the hands of everyone. I looked at their website and there's an awful lot about gun safety. Not that the gangs using guns care though.

It's not crystal clear what the Democrats want to do. What they say and what their real intentions are can be two different things. Criminal background checks does not sound unreasonable but there is a lot of rhetoric coming from the left. Mr. Hit and run Beto O'Rourke said "hell yeah, we're going to take your AR15!" I don't own an AR15 but it's another semi-automatic rifle, albeit a very fine one with different variants. The Democrats, much like the Liberals in Canada have a very similar goal and methods it seems. Go after legitimate gun owners while so many punks(depending on skin colour) get very light sentences for serious gun crimes. Thank those George Soros funded DA's. I think the ultimate goal is to disarm the population over time while they'll continue to ignore gun violence in the big( Democratic run) cities.

This Texas shooting is horrible of course but I am often left wondering why there is rarely any protest or outrage over the weekly death toll in a place like Democratic Chicago. They accept dead children over and over. The response was predictable from the left in that they would blame Republicans and the NRA but they must be disappointed that they can't use the white supremacy angle given that the alleged shooter was hispanic.

If this guy was as bad as they say then of course he should be kicked out. What does it take to get kicked out of the Democratic party? I typed this question into Bing and big surprise, many of the links were about Republicans. At the bottom it mentioned Joe Manchin who's greatest sin is apparently not always mindlessly supporting Biden's bad policies. He's not socialist enough? Next page, two Oregon Democrats kicked off Party Committee for endorsing Republican! I guess Democrats must be as pure as the driven snow.? It can't be that Democrat scandals get buried by big tech.

Nationalist definition: a person who strongly identifies with their own nation and vigorously supports its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations: "he was a staunch nationalist during his 22 years in power" They define nationalist as inherently a bad thing but I think it's not at all unreasonable to look out for our nations best interests ahead of the interests of other countries. How does it make sense to put the well being of other countries ahead of our own? One can be a nationalist and at the same time support giving aid to other nations but with reasonable limits.

Don't worry. As long as white people exist, no matter how small their numbers get, they will always be blamed for all the problems in the world. Progressives and even white progressives are of course thrilled about this. Can you imagine how the MSM would react if the numbers of any non-white group were in decline and people were cheering? They would be screaming RACISM! Why is racism only acceptable against whites? Yes demographics are changing but I would guess that happens primarily in western style democracies with ultra-woke governments. Non-white countries are not required to embrace multiculturalism it seems.

The leftists are doing everything to completely dismiss and debunk what was shown in 2000 Mules but in my opinion I haven't seen a single credible explanation yet. One of the mules seen in the film was interviewed and he just says he was dropping off ballots for his relatives while not addressing why he went to 10 or more drop off boxes. He won't because there is no honest explanation for doing that. Biden's poll numbers are pathetic right now but my fear is that the same thing could happen in the upcoming midterms and the MSM will naturally cover it up. The Democrats could once again defy all the clear signs and pull off a win.

The way things are going now should make Americans want to give the Democrats a severe beatdown in the midterms but it's by no means a sure thing. I wouldn't count the Democrats out just yet. What if they raise more than just 2000 mules??

But it can also be said that if they are allowed to live they at least have a chance of experiencing some great things in life.

If you don't like Tucker I'm curious what you think of his much lower rated leftist counterparts on CNN, MSNBC etc. Tucker's on in 45 mins!? Karine Jean Pierre is kind of impressive in that she ticks off so many boxes at once. I would be really impressed with her if she came out and admitted the Biden administration is a total failure.

I agree with the premise of this thread. What we call them is open to debate but they are far-left and they cannot be reasoned with. They strongly oppose the right to free speech and they generally are lacking even basic common sense.

This incident of Singh being heckled is now a perfect example of "never let a crisis go to waste". Now he's using this incident as a rallying cry to stop the "far right". I guess from his point of view it makes sense as his pathetic party has dropped significantly under his leadership. Don't make the same mistake I did by contacting the NDP to tell them what I think of their platform( in a polite manner) as it only resulted in them contacting me as if I wanted to support them.?

It seems the shooter in Buffalo NY is a white male so I doubt he'll get the benefit of low bail thanks to a George Soros funded DA. Crime coverage in the news depends largely on the ethnicity of the perpetrator, not so much with the victims. Is the perpetrator white? Wall to wall coverage. If the perpetrator is black, nothing to see here, just move along. Even BLM doesn't give a rats ass about black on black crime. I think every fair minded person favours equal opportunity and not the equality of outcome nonsense pushed by the left.

Of course not. But are you fine with American children not getting formula? You and I differ in that I feel any country should put the well being of it's own citizens at the top of the list. No country on earth is capable of sustaining the needs of the entire world on it's own. It would be wonderful if poverty and hunger could be eliminated. So again, I do not want to see children starve..nor am I happy to see their young lives aborted.

Many of those people are paying coyotes to smuggle them across the border. I think the strangely named Planned Parenthood organization will ensure they can get an abortion for a very low fee or perhaps get others to pay for it. Where Can I Get The Abortion Pill & How Much Will It Cost? (plannedparenthood.org) Biden is providing basic necessities to the hundreds of thousands streaming across the border on a monthly basis including much needed baby formula. All of those things are already paid for by Americans. So why not abortion clinics too?

I'm sure there are a lot of pregnant women crossing the southern border so would you like to see abortion clinics set up down there? Perhaps many of those women don't want to be forced to have children they can't support.

Singh was heckled and it's not the end of the world although he clearly want's to milk this incident for all it's worth. He get's more positive attention because of his ethnicity than his unsustainable loony-left policies. He is helping his good buddy Trudeau screw all Canadians with his love for high taxes, especially on fuel. Canada should be energy independent with oil and gas much like the US was under Trump.

Apparently there is baby formula that is being shipped to the southern border for the illegal immigrants. Nobody wants to see parents anywhere struggling to find formula for their babies but this is yet another Biden failure and he's putting non-Americans ahead of his own citizens. There is something written into law about this kind of situation so the illegals must be given basic necessities but much of the problem stems from Biden's absolute refusal to secure the southern border in the first place. I would say at this point he has easily surpassed Jimmy Carter to be the most inept president in the modern era. Border detention center has baby formula amid shortage: photos (nypost.com)

About the only halfway positive thing I can say about CNN is that it's a great source of fodder for Mark Dice. There surely can't be any network out there that is worse.

You can have a lucid debate with woke people? It might be possible in theory but in reality it is likely very rare. This to me is an insane debate. It's not limited to gender either. Many woke ideas and policies range from crazy to unsustainable. But at least they were just talking and not going full on Antifa on Charlie Kirk.

Mark Levin's books do get very positive reviews on Amazon. Given the amount of censorship going on these days I'm a bit surprised that his books haven't been banned there yet. I do watch his show sometimes and I enjoy it mainly because I tend to agree with his viewpoint and the fact that his guest's actually get to talk. It's a real conversation and not the usual quick sound bite kind of appearance seen on most other shows.

Apparently MH's one and only source for looking up any conservative personality is Wikipedia.?

Thanks for the link. I'm going to watch it this week on my lunch breaks as I have crappy slow internet at home. I have seen the trailer for this film and I have yet to hear any credible explanation for these people skulking around in the dead of night stuffing these ballot boxes. 2000 of these mules no less! They stuff the ballots in, then they take selfies. Selfies in order to get paid? It stinks to high heaven.
