libpride_15's JournalREPEAL and REPLACE the 2nd Amendment
In the news, mental illness is being used as a scapegoat.
We dance around the issue, maybe chipping away at the edges with assault ban this, and background check that.
We know what the real problem is.
We're the only nation with this level of gun violence and a second amendment. Is it obvious or what?
Archie Bunker once said: "Would you rather they was thrown out of a building?" Well at this point, yes, it's getting out of hand.
Maybe you should have to prove you're worthy of having a gun, like say a cop.
Some kind of opt-in system instead of having to prove someone unworthy.
Repeal for the children; replace for the gun nuts.
I'd quote an article about gun violence, but aren't there enough of them already?
41 for Iran deal!
Choke on it warmongers, the deal is done and any vote of disapproval won't reach Obama's desk.
Iran deal: 34 in the Senate, or 41 to not let a no vote happen?
Everyone's saying 34 will stop a no vote on the historic Iran deal to uphold a veto. First things first - after the obvious - Republicans will all vote against, they'll need 60 to get it out of the Senate.
Stop it there, and maybe a veto won't be necessary.
So Schumer, among others really need their arms twisted to hold 41 votes.
But I'm of the opinion that even given the worst, overridden in both Houses, Obama should then defy Congress, with US sanctions the only ones left, and hope Iran still holds up their end of the deal.
We don't trade much with Iran anyway, and UN sanctions are gone now, let's not kid ourselves.
Let Lindsey Graham sing "Give War a Chance" and realize it's an executive agreement, not a treaty, repeat not a treaty.
Would DU be better if it was a php board?
It took me a long time to join DU after lurking because the format of this forum reminds me of a chatroom the way GD flies by.
For consolidation of topics, I've found php boards work better.
Sorry if this has been brought up before; I guess it would be a radical change - maybe that's why it would be unworkable.
The way mods can manipulate threads to organize has worked well also on php boards as I've seen.
Not whining, just throwing it out there.
