186. In 2000, Bush the Lesser was selected by the U.S. Supreme Court.

He was able to get 271 electoral votes to Gore's 268. Bush was able to get that because a) Gore lost his home state, and b) the vote in Florida was close enough for Florida's Secretary of State/Bush's Florida campaign head AND Florida's Governor/Bush's older brother to steal it for him with a margin of less than 600 votes.

Bush and his adminstration, through gross incompetence (at minimum) fail to govern in an effective manner, resulting in terrorists able to successfully attack the U.S. on 9/11/01. The attack put Bush in a position to invade Iraq 18 months later. Iraq collapsed into civil war as Sunni and Shia factions faced off against each other as well as the U.S. military.

After the invasion of Iraq, the Iraqi government (including the military) was purged of members of Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath party, as they were deemed untrustworthy. Lack of effective, experienced leadership prolonged the insurgency in Iraq, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dead people an ten times that displaced.

The military officers that were dismissed eventually joined an insurgent force which became knows as ISIL, which has done many terrible and inhumane things to very many hundreds of thousands of people over the past several years. Including the San Bernardino massacre several days ago.

The New York newspapers and many left-wing politicians immediately call for more gun control, as evidenced in the O.P.

The 1993 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and Gore's support for such things, is a large part of what made the election of 2000 go towards Bush. No FAWB, Gore wins his home state of Tennessee as well as Florida, 9/11 never happens, and life as we know it is generally better for just about everyone.


Stupid laws have serious consequences.
