5 days out a NJ school has got to put them well ahead of the rest of their class.

Maybe the liberal brainwashing will be reversed.

If teenagers, cannot make rational decisions, thus they cannot be allowed to purchase a rifle or hand gun, why are they allowed to have abortions without parental consent?

The same reasoning should apply to teenagers deciding to end a human life. We need to demand the same standards apply across the board. Also, if there is a waiting or cooling off period to purchase a firearm, the same needs to apply to people seeking abortions.

Every time the gun grabbing crowd want to impose an obstacle the same obstacle should be imposed on abortions, after all lives are at stake in both situations.

You Tube to the rescue.

Quote:
YouTube is entering the gun control debate with a new ban on videos which demo firearms or link to websites selling firearms or firearm accessories.

The move to ban firearm demos dovetails with the media platform’s desire to “prohibit videos with instructions on how to assemble firearms.”

That Youtube ban sucks. There are some pretty good vids on a ton of different guns.

I needed to do some work on one of my guns once. Dialed up Youtube and got to watch a guy do the same thing I was about to do on the exact same model gun and it made the work go real easy.

This is America. YouTube just gave away a market share for someone else to capitalize on. Give it a week before Guns&Ammo or whatever is hosting the same stuff for all the same reasons.

Have the tutorials done by gangsta rappers. YouTube wouldn't be able to object, and social justice warrior heads would explode trying to deal with such a clash of politically correct and incorrect concepts.

C'mon, an English Bulldog with a Glock. Who could resist?

Time to investigate YouBoob for being a monopoly.

CitiBank has announced that it will impose tougher gun controls on its business customers than state and federal laws require.

Quote:
Under this new policy, we will require new retail sector clients or partners to adhere to these best practices: (1) they don’t sell firearms to someone who hasn’t passed a background check, (2) they restrict the sale of firearms for individuals under 21 years of age, and (3) they don’t sell bump stocks or high-capacity magazines. This policy will apply across the firm, including to small business, commercial and institutional clients, as well as credit card partners, whether co-brand or private label. It doesn’t impact the ability of consumers to use their Citi cards at merchants of their choice.

I'm not in favor of corporations getting involved in politics. For one thing, I already hate our government, politicians, and so much about the political process, there's not much room for more hate in my heart. But I guess in this case I can make an exception. I already hate Wall St and the large banks. So I'm not adding anyone new to the list (I used to work for Citicorp).

The brain trust running Broward County has come up with the perfect solution to school shootings: clear backpacks.



The school will provide the backpacks. Oops, I mean the taxpayers will provide the backpacks.

Great idea. No one is going to smuggle in an assault rifle in one of those.

What about a hand gun in a lunch bag or wrapped in some smelly gym shorts or in that old mystery movie favorite, a hollowed out book?
