Ban assault weapons now! Ban them now! Once and for all."
Chomper Higgot replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Make it simple. Ban all rifles that aren’t manual bolt action. Removing any spacious arguments around what is an ‘assault rifle’ while at the same time giving gun nuts a more wholesome form of ‘wrist exercise’ than their usual. -

‘Statistically it saved no lives. Mass killings are insignificant when weighed against the larger picture of crime and murder in general. ‘ Perhaps you missed the bit about ‘mass killings’ ( there is a clue in the name) being reduced. As I said earlier, there’s always an excuse for doing nothing. -

It’s an excuse. Clinton’s ban on assault weapons reduced mass killings during the period it was in place. It wasn’t a perfect solution but it saved lives. Banning assault rifles, and those seen carrying them are immediately identifiable as breaking the law and a threat. -

I personally think it’s time for businesses to step up and ban guns being carried on their premises. -

I’m looking forward to Season 2. -
The first Bible wasn’t written in English, and in any case what became the first written texts were previously oral stories and poems. The New International Version is way down the line of translations and versions. The transmission, recording, translation, editing and re-editing of the Bible has almost certainly undertaken by men. So I wouldn’t put too much faith on your ‘his own image’ revelation.

But it was all fine and dandy when the targets of his venomous mouth were the wives or children of his political opponents, people giving testimony against him or mocking disability?! This isn’t just Trump, it’s what Trump voters wanted from him and still want from him.- 48 replies

The UK has not yet joined the CPTPP, and already has a trade agreement with Chili. But let’s not get too excited over a predicted 0.08% of growth: “ a summary of the Government’s own modelling of the economic impact of accession. It said that the estimated increase in UK GDP in the long run was 0.08%.” And as with so many things this Government are doing: “On the substance of the negotiations, the committee said its main concern was that the UK would require a number of “carve-outs” from the existing terms of CPTPP “ Refer link below and pay attention to which particular ‘cave outs’ are of concern: https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/uk-membership-of-the-trans-pacific-trade-agreement/ -
As often is the case, The Independent is providing a far more detailed report than The Daily Mail. ”How did the Biden administration discover Chinese balloons from the Trump era? White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said the Biden administration was able to retroactively identify the presence of Chinese balloons in US airspace during Trump’s term after the US enhanced its “surveillance of our territorial airspace,” he said in remarks at an event hosted by the US Global Leadership Coalition, according to the Associated Press.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/chinese-spy-balloon-recovered-trump-latest-b2276371.html?amp

Yeas poverty is a serious matter. “Meanwhile I was holidaying 3 times a year and travelling business class.” You’ve convinced me, though perhaps not of that which you intended.
