I sure do like how Republicans managed to convince their base that being for gun laws means you're anti gun.

No, it's because morons don't realize that once gun laws are in place, they're very difficult to overturn. Sure, maybe 1 or 2 changes pertaining to background checks might make sense, but then government starts trying to take the next step to restrict guns.

And then the next step. And the next step.

Pretty soon you have jackass politicians in California voting to exempt themselves from their own measures because clearly they're above the peasants.

Fuck that. It's not a republican thing.

So is this the smoking gun Erik? Is Trump on the train to impeachment?


Yes


Are you willing to wager your account on his impeachment? If he's not impeached within the next two years, will you close your account?


This site won't even exist in 2 years.


Then you should be perfectly willing to make that wager.

Is there a function to switch it on? www.gamefaqs.com is the "homepage" that I use, if that means anything different

this is what the homepage looks like for me (obviously zoomed out so I could fit it all in one image)

You literally just described a slippery slope argument. If you agree that certain steps are reasonable and your only argument against doing any of them is "it might eventually be a bad thing a lot further down the line" you have a terrible argument. There's no point-of-no-return where the gun laws combine into Voltron and just enact whatever nightmare scenario you're imagining. If you think background checks make sense but laws against "assault weapons" are not then argue on those merits.

If you think background checks make sense but laws against "assault weapons" are not then argue on those merits.

I personally disagree with background checks for the reason(s) I described, but I completely understand others' viewpoints and am happy to listen to them. I'm not advocating "wild west" scenarios, but I think we'd be safer if everyone armed themselves.

The problem with background checks-- first of all, we already have them-- is that it ends up in a national registry. I see topics on here every day bitching about our government. Clearly it has problems, and they give us no reason to trust them. Secondly, implementing background checks wouldn't help prevent bad people from getting guns, it would increase the amount of guns circulating the black market.

(On my phone right now, not easy to post sources. Can later if you want.)

Final thoughts: I grew up in Chicago. Lived there for 23 years. In my experience, more gun control measures = more crime rate. Houston, TX is a very good comparison to Chicago population/diversity wise, yet they have much more lenient gun laws and much less gun violence.

I respect your opinion, by the way, and can see the reasoning behind the slippery slope comment... unfortunately that's cause and effect. I believe this type of speculation is fair game because it helps to consider worst case scenario when evaluating risks and consequences.

Unlikely? Yes. Impossible? Far from.

You're at home for Thursday morning. If you're going to take a half day just for the sake of having half a day off, at least make it the afternoon so you don't have to go into work later. That, or make it a monday morning.


Morning turns into the afternoon.


Yes, but if you only took half a day, you have to work once the morning turns into the afternoon. A morning off is not an afternoon off. Silly goose.

I could see either side argued (taking the morning or the afternoon off). I think it just depends on context.

If it's, say, Monday morning, it might make sense to do a half day in the morning because you can extend your weekend a bit.

If it's like Friday afternoon, you could just suck up the morning and begin your weekend early. A caveat to this though is that Friday afternoon tends to be the time where people slack off and just dick around in general, so it might not make sense to take vacation time when not a lot of work would be getting done anyways.
