Well, there you go!

I would sooner ban dogs than machine guns.

Thanks for the bump.

I am what I identify as. Try to keep up.

"Originalist" ideologue.

Manifestly false. You're cherrypicking. There are countries with far stricter gun laws (way fewer guns per capita) and way more murders per capita. It's murderers per capita that overwhelmingly influences murders per capita. In fact the civilian guns owned globally by country is inversely...

Who will win the Republican civil war? Republicans. Red wave baby.

Yes, except you should have gun 7-Elevens, 7-Elevens that only sell guns, like we have here in America everywhere.

Yes. On the contrary, one of the many joys of Catholicism is how it is set up for us naturally to pursue personal righteousness and avoid sin, just as much as we want to, as we are gradually and definitely conformed to the image and mind of Christ our Lord through the sacraments, especially the...

There's no apocrypha in the Catholic Bible, but the books you're alluding to number seven. There are 73 books in the Catholic Bible, 66 in the Protestant Bible, and Orthodoxy has a range.

The war test

Because Manc apparently can't answer, I have to continue this myself. And now that @Stripe has entered the fray, we can think about Taiwan, not just Ukraine. It's already established in Manc's avoidance of my interrogation that if Ukraine could go back in time to January, knowing that Russia...

Murderers exist. But so do bears, mountain lions, coyotes. And so do my family and neighbors, they all exist too. Being armed is just being prepared. It's being the opposite of irrational and irresponsible. You just have to be armed in a not-irrational and not-irresponsible manner is all...

That doesn't mean that he didn't believe the law should be made. My only contention is that, which legal theory do you base your view on, that this law should be made? The answer is, utilitarian legal positivism. This legal (and moral) theory is repugnant to the Constitution, and to the moral...

Could be might, but also could be non-violent coercion, or violent threats, or perjury, or even trickery.

This might be the single biggest reason I think "pro-life" was a rhetorical mistake. "Anti-abort" might be uglier but it's less of a rhetorical minefield, especially as regards guns and gun rights. It's also just more precise. "Pro-life" means pro-death, when a murderer is trying to murder...

It has become pointless! You're prescient! Except that, you were wrong about the first part ... So I don't know what you are.

It's not like it's close Manc. You're underselling us. Says the fellow living in one of the many countries with constitutions imitating our genuine original liberal republican democracy. You owe us royalties for this plagiarism. Rule of law, constitutionalism, human rights, civilians control...

OK. For me rights violation and the promotion thereof is immoral, and I mean it in a public sense, like rights violations are why we have police. Not like, we need to teach people public morality, more like, if you break the law then you're going to jail. That's what public morality means to...

Honestly your tunnel vision is alarming, it should be alarming to you too. Ukraine. Seriously. Oh, we had another school shooting, let's just take away the guns. Oh look Russia's here. OK let's quickly redistribute them to everybody. Oh wait we didn't keep those guns we destroyed them, you...
