There won't be any revoking of the second amendment. Not in any of our lifetimes. You need not worry about that. What people want now is uniform law; not piecemeal. That is reality and that's coming. We will get universal and uniform background checks. (90% favor it in FOX poll!!!) Probably...

The first sentence is prima facie wrong as worded; and it misses the point, which I'll repeat. We can not know the future and certainly anecdote can at best give us only a glimmer of what might be, or indeed, what might have been. But we can rely on probability. The gun control debate should...

Now you're not making any sense at all. Sorry I wasted my time responding previously. In a democracy the majority isn't always right, but it should always be in charge; yet willing to compromise for the sake of not trampling more than absolutely necessary on minority interests. It is the...

No I wouldn't. I would oppose that because it would be bad policy. Most likely funding to manage and enforce gun control will come from a combination of DOC and DOJ budgets, which is where it would seem to fit. That's where BATFE is now (DOJ). This will likely be supplemented by fees attached...

Let's start a "non-profit" hospital. We'll be joint administrators of the hospital.

I am only interested in arguing facts not opinion. Although we are both free to state our opinions. It's a fact that my opinion is in line with the majority opinion, whereas yours is not. Check the opinion polls please with regard to gun controls. Also its a fact the Parkman kids began...

I am only joking of course about the marking of bills by the NRA . But of course people really do write on currency all the time, and yes, it's probably illegal. But what isn't? Money is fungible so the only way the government could check to see if any foreign contributions to the NRA ended...

Yup. one dollar same as another dollar.

Exactly, because the dollars that go to "election work" have an "EW" written on them with a marker, whereas the dollars that came from Russians all have an "R" written on them and are used for LaPierre's expense account and to help out congressmen in time of need. They are all in the same...

My impression is that the majority is fine with the profits due to sales of assault riffles and bump stocks being lost. And the majority seems fine with some additional expense being associated with gun purchases as a trade off against the benefits of uniform background checks and gun laws...

thanks. I think I like this one better https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=8eiT&&utm_source=fred.stlouisfed.org&utm_medium=Referral&utm_term=related_resources&utm_content=&utm_campaign=graph?utm_source=series_page&utm_medium=related_content&utm_term=related_resources&utm_campaign=fredblog

It's actually not valid. What is at issue is probability. You want to reduce the probability of a bunch of people being mowed down by a hail of bullets. You can't reach zero probability but you can easily reduce the probability significantly without stepping on anyone's second amendment...

Good questions. An here is another. Whats wrong with banning sale of assault riffles and bump stock modification? Not needed for recreational shooting or hunting (in fact its unsportsmanlike to hunt with an assault riffle) AND assault riffles are not needed for self defense. (Unless you are...

Real "GDP Growth" is different from Real GDP. Will you please define for us "Real GDP Growth" for us as it is plotted in your graph.

These are topics I am always happy to discuss, but I haven't got time right now. Perhaps later.

He he he. Krugman and I are fellow Dummys. o_O |Reagan| :D

Jem, sweetie pie, I feel like I have to constantly step in to protect you from the real world. So here I go again, just doing my duty. First make sure you never get caught comparing one persons nominal GDP estimate against another's real GDP estimate. At the beginning of a year the estimates...

My impression is that the marchers are not focusing on that. They seem to be focusing on gun laws. Perhaps you should organize and try to reform law enforcement. It's sorely needed in my opinion. I'll send you 5 bucks if you do.

With all due respect , fhl, I'm not able to follow your logic. (fhl, which hockey league is that?) If I had to guess a reason, i'd guess it's because you are misstating the Judges ruling, or omitting some key feature or qualification.

Arnie, thank you for responding with other than photos of Nazi youth. I'll respond to each of your points briefly: #1 -- this is true in particular house districts. Nationally of course the polls show overwhelming support for tightening gun laws of the types the students are pushing for...
