Appreciate the clarification.

Darrell - I haven't answered your question because the only answer to it is: Clinton *may* try to overturn it, but she won't be successful. Otherwise, it has no bearing on this election. Ever hear the saying "past performance is not an indicator of future outcomes"? Trump faces the same exact...

He can't, and he won't. He still hasn't acknowledged, much less addressed, my question about definition of assault weapon. Seems anything that challenges his preconceived notions, he'd prefer not to discuss. It's almost as if he's afraid that he'd change his mind.

Benjamin - your analogy fails because of how you describe the choices available. You say there's a vulture laying an egg on one side, and a cow on the other. I say there's a vulture on one side, and a cow with Mad Cow disease on the other. I lived in England 1990-1993; 23 years later, I'm...

Darrell, you made the statement: "for at least four years we might see a reversal." Your wording indicates that you understand exactly what I'm saying, and that you're willing to accept that risk; so be it. I'm not as optimistic as you are. Please note: I'm not lobbying to have you change your...

Was it? One type of abortion banned since 1973? You misunderstand. I never said it didn't matter. What I said was, not voting for the same candidate as you, or Benjamin, or CTB, is NOT "throwing my vote away." The fallacy is exactly as I've pointed out. If you are willing to vote for a...

Well, Zaac, let's start again: why does Anderson represent baptists, if the Orlando shooter doesn't represent muslims?

Don was hoping that Zaac would prove him wrong and actually provide a substantive response; looks like Don's hope was wrong, and his original expectation was correct....

The partial birth abortion ban was signed by President Bush in 2003. Do we still have abortion on demand? Now, here's the biggest fallacy with the point you're trying to make, and why you should go re-read post #11 one more time: what is your guarantee to me that Trump will make *any* progress...

Zaac - how come your answer to the meme Rev posted in another thread was that the Orlando shooter doesn't represent all muslims or all gun owners; but then you start a thread about one idiotic pastor with the comment "please don't let him be baptist"? Do you somehow believe Anderson is...

Depends. What kind of reputation do you want for America when I'm done? I've got vastly different strategies based on the answer to that question.

I notice I haven't received a response from him for a definition of assault weapon....

Then why does his mis-use of a weapon result in calling for no one to have that weapon?

And thus, my primary point regarding the impreciseness of language being used.

Ah, but that definition fits assault weapons--which include handguns. CTB's and the president's imprecise language opens over 50% of weapons sold today to be identified as "assault." I've had a hard time today discussing this with relatives who agreed with the initial statements about Obama's...

Please define "assault weapon," as per standard dictionary or even ATF definitions.

<sarcasm> But..but...I listened to the president, and he called it a "powerful assault weapon".... </sarcasm>

That's awesome.

Disagree. We may agree on Obama in general, but in this particular instance, you heard "muslim" and immediately jumped to "refugee." As Rolfe and others have pointed out, the shooter was an American muslim, not a refugee. So your conclusion is erroneous.

Darrell is the perfect example of what I wrote in post #11.
