monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

I've traveled to over 80 countries, and have always felt safe.
Even in the wilds of Africa.

Why all the posts questioning why people "need" them?

There is no such thing as a hip-fired weapon.

I own 3 guns and a fast car and I support laws curtailing both of those hobbies. I can lock my guns up, register for a FOID card, and forgo the cosmetic things on my AR15 to make it "look mean". I can also support higher penalties for speeding and even speed limiters on vehicles.

I doubt it. A large portion of those deaths are from DUI and if stiffer laws worked we wouldnt have murders. It's typical of liberals to run right to more laws...Laws that impact only the law abiding. But it makes the cheeseeaters feel better...Screw liberty, huh?

Every thing looks like a nail when all you own is a hammer.

Not really proposing more laws...there are already laws against speeding. What I'm suggesting is a greater penalty. (I suppose a speed limiter would be a new law, but really one that car companies would implement and would apply to both law breakers and law abiding)

Make going 15 over the speed limit punishable with a minimum $1000 fine. It would sure curtail some of my behavior. Put cameras on all major roadways to catch this behavior.

No more laws needed. Don't need any insults either guijohn; I didn't insult you.

and he said no bcause he wasnt affected.

Because I believe the "need" has been manufactured and only serves the crassest political and marketing purposes.

It's commonly used to describe use of an unshouldered auto aimed weapon, especially a shotgun.

GOP to bury House resolution on Trump conflicts

House Republicans next week plan to derail a Democratic resolution that would have forced disclosure of President Donald Trump's potential ties with Russia and any possible business conflicts of interest, according to multiple House sources.

The more guns there are in society, the more accidental killings and murders happen.

The number of guns in society has no bearing on the number of murders.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback’s ambitious tax overhaul — which slashed taxes for businesses and affluent households, leading to years of budget shortfalls — narrowly survived a mutiny Wednesday afternoon when about half of Republican lawmakers joined Democrats in an effort to overturn it.

Brownback, a Republican who once called his tax policy a “real-live experiment” with conservative principles, had vetoed a bill that would have repealed the most important provisions of his overhaul. While the state House voted to override the veto earlier in the day, proponents of the bill came up three votes shy of the two-thirds majority needed in the Senate. Fifteen Republican senators voted to override the veto, while 16 voted to sustain it.

In the House, 45 GOP legislators voted in favor of the increase, while 40 voted to uphold the governor’s veto.

The more cars there are in society, the more people killed in car accidents.

It’s no secret that the pace of hiring for top-level non-Cabinet positions in the “fine-tuned machine” that is the Donald Trump administration is glacial. Trump and his supporters like to blame the inactivity on Democratic slow-walking of Senate confirmations. The truth is you cannot obstruct nominations that have not yet been made, which is the situation with the vast majority of the 549 Senate-confirmed positions, most of which have not been filled — not to mention the thousands of other essential jobs that do not require Senate approval.

Trump: We’re Submitting a Health-Care Plan! Tom Price: No, We’re Not!

Today, President Trump met with reporters and promised his administration would release its own health-care plan very soon: “So we’re doing the health care — again moving along very well — sometime during the month of March, maybe mid-to-early March, we’ll be submitting something that I think people will be very impressed by.” Also today, Representative Tom Cole told John Harwood that Tom Price, Trump’s secretary of Health and Human Services, told him “the administration wouldn’t be sending us a bill,” but instead “will cooperate and provide input into what we do.”

In a normal organization — the kind where a leader can be left unaccompanied for a few hours without his subordinates fearing he will descend into a television-binge-fueled social-media meltdown — it could be assumed that the highest-ranking official’s word would override that of his appointed department leader. Given that it’s Trump, basically everybody would assume that Price is the one who knows what he’s talking about and the president is making things up.

Well, I feel somewhat better with the new security adviser however it came about.
