Welcome to Political Humor!
Rules:
Can you say “Mulford Act” and Gun control Act of 1968?
The one time republicans and the NRA were for gun control (and let’s not forget that the republicans had an entirely different stance to begin with regarding firearms until that bastard Harlon Carter decided to politicize guns) was when black people armed up. The Mulford act was specifically designed to disarm the Black Panthers.
Oakland has stricter-than-usual gun control laws to this day because of the Black Panthers. The solution, of course, is to simply get the guns in a neighboring area where it's easier to do so.
Yeah, having a gun free zone right next to a gun restricted one is kind of pointless (See US/Mexico border).
It is almost like we would need for all the states to work together to create gun control laws. Maybe they could like federate into a single government body that would be in charge of these regulations and not beholden to special interests.
This illustrates a point in legal discussions that I don’t think lawmakers consider. “What would your opponent do with these powers?” If they did, there would never be an escalation of authority.
It's why I await a new Democratic president with the authority from the Supreme Court to have full immunity.
Biden had that and did nothing with it
The SCROTUS decides what qualifies. If Republican SCROTUS, Republican president is fine to do whatever and a Democrat one is not. If Democrat SCOTUS, they will say the president does not have immunity regardless of political party. So only Republican presidents will ever benefit from it.
Ding ding ding, we have a winner!
So you can be disappointed for 48 consecutive months while they use that power to entrench fascism?
Democratic leadership just negotiated more money for ICE in the latest funding resolution.
There may be an ok democrat here and there, but the core of the party is rotten.
As if a Dem would actually use that authority to enact progressive legislation…
Or hold fascists accountable
What are you talking about? They wagged their finger and wrote strongly worded letters.
Note that the one at the top is a non-resident of the area coming in from somewhere else to protect property from people
And the one at the bottom is a chapter of locals protecting people from federal agents
That’s the story he told to escape justice.
He actually went to murder people.
Safelite repair, Safelite replace.
He has a vague resemblance of Luigi
I don't see it. Luigi never touched a firearm in his life
This is why I think a bunch of the ICE harassment is in Minneapolis right now. A city where no open carry is allowed.
Ironic that Democratic policies are hurting Democrats.
Fuck the dems, we need an actual pro-gun leftist party.
I always tell people when you get far enough left you end up back in the pro gun camp.
Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary
I always describe myself as an "under no pretext" gun supporter rather than a "shall not be infringed" supporter.
Funny enough, every other country with strict gun laws don't deal with a percentage of the bullshit America does.
Also funny enough, the "shall not be infringed" comes long after a pretty pivotal phrase of "well organized militia". Unless you're a well organized militia, the 2nd doesn't apply to you.
Unless you're a well organized militia, the 2nd doesn't apply to you.
That's not how the courts have interpreted that old English. Rather that the opening phrase is an example of how the right of the people could be applied, not that it is the only way it could be applied. Language evolves, but that doesn't necessarily mean how we interpret a phrase written 200+ years ago should evolve with it. If you want to change the amendment, then you need a new amendment.
Nah that's how it was conventionally interpreted (as a collective not individual right). You're giving a c20 reinterpretation and claiming it was original.
I'm not giving anything. I'm just saying how it is currently viewed.
You sure seemed to be implying that that is how it was always viewed ("to change the meaning you need another amendment then"), come on now.
Yup
Open carry of handguns is allowed with a permit, and Minnesota is a "shall issue" state, so it's easy to get a permit.
Correct for Minnesota, but Minneapolis has city ordinances that outlaws it.
If I had a restaurant I'd be offering these guys a free coffee and dessert along with a "no ICE" sign.
What if they just want cold water with ice?

In January??
