I am too old to be scared. How would you feel waking up November 4th to see the headline, President Elect Bernie Sanders? Sad and sorry for the younger generations. Said every person who disagreed with the next generation to follow themselves.

The Dems cannot even count/cheat right. Yet you support a guy who can't cheat right but gets away with it anyway.

I will say it again. You can vote your way in to Communism, but you have to shoot your way out. You're smart enough to know the difference in socialism and communism. You're also smart enough to know the difference between a socialist government and a democracy that contains some socialist policies. That's what i can't understand you promoting false propaganda like this. Some reasons gun rights are having a problem is you have a bunch of gun nuts walking around state capitals dressed like paramilitary groups scaring the hell out of soccer moms and people using assault rifles killing their kids at schools. Shooting up Walmarts doesn't help either. I'm a proponent of the second amendment and that's why I'm tired of seeing gun nuts out there hurting a cause I hold dear.

Look at the police and the vehicles they drive. They don't look paramilitary?
It's not Sheriff Andy out there anymore.
I am not down on Police, one thing feeds the other. Same with politics.
Don't worry man, I will protect your rights because I will protect mine. No thanks needed. I will do it for myself. You just get to ride the coattail.

Well let's debate this for just a minute.
Do you actually believe that people having huge gatherings in state capitals carrying military style rifles, dressed in paramilitary gear helps the cause of gun rights? You don't think that scares the crap out of a lot of people? It only helps instill more fear in those wishing to limit those rights.
But here's the rub in all of this. You are a lawyer. You are fully aware of how all of this works. While I'm not a lawyer, I have made it my responsibility to learn how the constitution works. That's why I'm rather perplexed by your alarmist style posts. It's a very difficult thing to ever turn over a constitutional amendment. There is no threat of the second amendment going away. Here are the steps it would take to accomplish this as you well know......
A proposed amendment to the Constitution must first be passed by Congress with two-thirds majorities in both the House and the Senate.
Then, three-fourths of the states must ratify the amendment. That’s done either through getting the state legislatures to approve of it or by ratifying conventions. Three-fourths is a high bar–if as few as 13 states refuse to approve the change, the amendment stalls. Considering how many states are considered gun-friendly, the amendment would never survive.
The other option for repealing the Second Amendment is more radical: Calling for a Constitutional Convention under Article V of the Constitution (a.k.a. an “Article V convention“). If two-thirds of the state legislatures call for a new convention, they could convene delegations and start drafting new amendments. It’s understandably a controversial idea, but arguably could be a way to repeal the Second Amendment.
These things aren't happening as you already well know.
And as much as you wish to use a one liner to avoid the topic, you do know the difference between communism, socialism and a democracy that embraces certain socialist policies.
But it's nice to see you aren't willing to have an actual serious debate about it.
I have no idea why you brought the police into the topic unless you are eluding to the fact that if a civil uprising occurs people need to be armed well enough to go up against the police.

Yet there's no action on LEO reform, trying to bar transgender individuals from serving in the military, locking kids in cages, etc.
Your takes are weak. Stick to the facts and not your feelings. Dude, I was in the military . You were not. Who are you to tell me who I should want to serve with. Transgenders creep me out. Not just me but a lot of people. I really get tired of little SJW guys telling me how to think. If this pisses yo u lefties off then that makes me happy. Ocd called me a troglodyte There are a lot more Troglodytes than whimpy Liberals. Get over your superior self.

You know when you say things like that you sound just like the people you claim to despise. Maybe a bit over the top but I stand by the general premise. This woman voted for a man she felt aligned with her politically. Then recoiled when she found out he loves someone of the same sex. One has nothing to do with the other. She’s been exposed for her bigotry. I have little remorse. I hope she finds it within herself to examine her thoughts and beliefs and find what’s of true importance in such political matters. I hope her bigotry falls away. As I hope for all bigots.

I share everything accept you trying to equate it to boomers. The next time you consider doing that I would like to suggest you look at a picture of skin head groups and look at the average age of that crowd first.
Thanks in advance.

Don't be butthurt over the troglodyte bit, I call all cave dwellers that. BUT you served so you are used to friendly banter like this. As for you being creeped out by trans people, is that a repressed desire or social awkwardness? You just never know with you GOPers. Here's the thing, we are all people. If you are a Christian, you are supposed to love others and be accepting. If you are just a non-believing person, you are still supposed to be accepting of others. There are lots of things that creep you out until you learn to understand them. If you don't have the time or desire to understand them, then just live and let live. It's not that hard. If slugs grossed you out, how would you feel about a slug in Boston that you will never see in real life? Or one that you read about but will never see in real life? Diversity is pretty much the same thing, you will probably never be exposed to radical diversity in your day to day life. You might run across a trans individual here and there, but you aren't going to invite them into your home and break bread with them are you? So why are you creeped out?

OCD, I loved it when you called me a Troglodyte. I was going to get that on my licence plate.
As for Transgenders, you're right . I don't have to deal with them but I do sometimes and its not a problem. I just don't want to live with them, Shower, sleep ect. Why don't you and Pit adopt a few of them. You can go shoe shopping together.

I did not serve, but various family members and my best friend all served. They all repeated something very similar over the past 10 or so years. I found it interesting that, while they didn't word it the same way, their thoughts on the matter were VERY similar.
The military is not the place for a social experiment.
While the intention behind being more inclusive and diverse is good, forcing these types of edicts onto a military that argues they will hurt lethality is a bad move.

It doesn't really matter what I want, they exist and have a right to live their life in peace. I don't know that any trans is suddenly going to stop being trans because Duty doesn't like it. Grow up.

Once again, please show where any Dem wants the government to control everything.
I guess you must be for privitization of police, fire, road management, etc. ?
Educate yourself on these candidates. You may learn something new. Oh dear God, the police and fire argument again. Just as Bernie moved the bar on what constitutes being rich... once he became rich... the dems are moving the bar now that they have embraced socialism to "he's not a communist".. they used to fight like hell if you called a dem a socialist and they claimed socialism was bad, they have learned to embrace it... as one day they will embrace being called the next step.

Seemed like that's where the conversation was going. My mistake. Still, hearing essentially the same argument from a handful of people was interesting.

Thank you.
On a lighter note, I wonder if the Bernie campaign, if he wins, would do the socialist thing and give some of his votes to the others that didn't get as many.

All the polling had Pete down. All the Polling had Bernie up. All the Polling had Liz down. All the polling had Biden up. At 62% it's Pete, Bernie, Liz, and Biden. The polling was way off on 50% of top candidates. I expected Bernie to do well, but hats off to Pete because I had him all but out after Iowa.

And have your voting record and republican leadership to blame for the socialism embrace.
Capitalism’s has failed the majority of the population in this country for quite sometime now.
The people you defend has turned our economy into a system where we socialize the losses and privatize the profits.
When the system is unfair and unjust, what did you expect? You say the Dems are embracing the term while we just watch republicans whine about socialism while paying out socialism to the sad ole farmers once again.
By the way, that 28 billion these welfare queens took in was more than the auto bailout. The biggest difference? Atleast the auto industry paid it back. We aren’t getting a DIME back from those farmers.
Republicans use to embrace the free market, until the free market decided their preferred industries go the way of the dinosaur. Now it’s our problem.

I really do think that Bernie is going to win this election. Right or wrong it's making me seriously consider selling my house. It's worth almost 50k more than what I paid for it in October 2016. Sell high. Prices will fall, but if you profit, they will somehow get your profits. I will say it again. You can vote your way in to Communism, but you have to shoot your way out. Why do you think the 2nd Amendment is target #1 for the far left? Hard to shoot your way out if all you have is a shotgun or a pea-shooter. Wake up. It's happening. It's almost as if you believe that. I guess to clarify - 1. You think that the Democrats are leaning and on the path to Communism. 2. You think that they want to take everyone's guns away - and it's part of the plan to prevent people rebelling against becoming a communist state. 3. You really think this is happening - now. Guess you do believe this. Scary chit.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

If that is indeed the case, that skews the population polled.
