Why I left the Democratic Party

Deregulating the banking sector, just a year after Obama is gone, sends the wrong message to the markets and to the nation.

I still have an account in a US-base credit union. It's about the right size in terms of their dedication to their owners/clients. They have some 5 billions in asset... However you spin it, a bank having more than 50 billions in asset is not a "small town bank".

Your opinion is getting a lot of traction, but there are other valid opinions.

Several of our mass murderers were mentally ill and a few were driven from a domestic violence impetus. Controlling those populations re gun ownership, and relying on a national law requiring a waiting period, a ******* background check, and to me, a loss of license and a ******* devastating penalty for those who don’t follow this procedure would slash this crazy **** by more than half.

If you can’t buy beer, you can buy firearms.

Another common sense change: You should not be able to buy a firearm and give it to someone else without a legal process with a waiting period.

Heavy penalties should be attached.

There are answers, but both of our political parties make sure no remedies are seriously sought.

Another story.

I know a young woman who was sitting in her driveway reading her mail. She was suddenly being attacked through her window, punched and sexually assaulted as he tried to open the car door. She later said she didn’t think she’d be able to remain conscious long enough to get the glove box open, but she did, and she got off a few shots that scared him away.

The US has made drugs illegal. You know how well that’s going. As with criminalization of drugs, criminalization of guns will only ensure that good people are unarmed against armed criminals.

Criminalization of guns will never happen here, but I think my government is intentionally botching common sense approaches and allowing these murders to snowball in an attempt to change public sentiment in order to disarm the US public.

It's just a symptom of how eager some dems are to sell their vote to the highest bidder.

I am upset about this subject, more than any other issue, frankly. If those moderate democrats in red states cross over and go with bills stripping more health care away from Obamacare, they are not really democrats at all.
