"Can't Count Votes? Just Draw Straws."

Journal by fustakrakich

That the Democrats lose House seats, do not win the Senate and barely manage to drag their demented presidential candidate towards a stalemate tells a lot about their lack of sane policies. A donor party completely disinterested in what the people really want - medicare for all, no fracking etc. - will have little chance to survive a future onslaught of conservatives with a more competent figure head than Donald Trump. ...should Trump lose this election, Trumpism will only grow and make the U.S. ungovernable.

    States decide how they regulate weapons

    And, that is PRECISELY where we have a problem. The right to bear arms was reserved to the people, not to the states. The states have little, if any, right to regulate weapons.

    The rights and authorities of the federal government are pretty clearly stated. "Shall not be infringed"

    The rights and authorities of the state governments are pretty clearly stated. "Shall not be infringed"

    Those rights and authorities not specifically given to the feds, or to the state, are by default, the rights and authorities of the PEOPLE. The regulation of weapons is at the discretion of the people, not the feds, and not the states.

      Well there's irony right there in print. Nice one Einstein.
