Within the states, results are consistently drawn on partisan lines.

Republican legislature... Democrat Governor. It's DOA

An estimated 300,000 US gun purchases were blocked by background checks last year, with 42% due to prior felony convictions.



Forty million guns were purchased legally in 2020.

40 million guns!?! The mind boggles!! Explains the ammo shortage though.

Well, oh Esteemed 40th Armor alum from West Berlin, that kinda looks like 'their' system works & the result is something once called "disparity of force."

"GUNS" in AMERICA:
 

There are a lot of guns in the U S A , BUT, Will there be a lot of people to use guns in the ongoing political science correctness war we are in... HAS the Shooting started ?

who needs guns to kill people when a vaccine is killing more healthy young people than COVID did...

Wholly Horseshit Batman... "Emergency Declarations" how very autocratic of the failed party state of New York.

My sympathy and outrage are only metered by the fact that I've come around to the belief that if the people within the state or metropolitan areas do not reject and oust a tyrant or failed system then they have the government which they deserve.

New York
Detroit
Chicago
Baltimore
Kalifornia
San Francisco
L.A.

I wish they would open their eyes and see that they are now living in a failed system so to speak in their cities/states. They never do and they just go through life with blinders on because they cannot see, or fail to see the true tyrants they elect into office. Emergency Declarations from a system that an authoritarian official created, so Stasi of them.

Another important case fails to gain any publicity.
I haven’t read the whole thing (141 pages), but apparently the 4th Circuit struck down federal restrictions on 18-20 year olds purchasing handguns.

I'm confident that when the Department of Just Us goes for the full circuit review it will get some traction in the newsrooms of the usual suspects.

Quite a few state’s attorneys general are weighing in on an important SCOTUS case.

What’s in so far:

Therein lies the problem. Can anyone actually define "failed system" ??

If you spent your entire life supporting people and causes that prescribe to the Cloward-Piven strategy, it is not a failed system at all.
The system is working exactly the way it was designed.

If you dont care about anything but your free government money check - the fact that businesses can't find people to work isn't a failure.
-Yo tengo la mía mother fuckers !!

If you want to force social change at all costs, who really gives a fuck if a few thousand people end up starving and homeless?
There is a reaosn that violent criminals rome the streets. There is a reason that criminals were released form jail in droves during a pandemic that was going to kill all but 99% of mankind...
...so the government could scare you into compliance.

The 'Great Leap Forward' led to the deaths of TENS OF MILLIONS of people. As people met their tragic fates, the government in power continued to beat the drum that it was all the fault of their political opposition. It was all because of failed implementation secondary to the opposition of those that didn't want to cooperate.
It will all be different "this time"
...and here we are.

What's happening in America is NOT a failure of the system, it is a design feature of the system.
Once more for the cheap seats: Its not a fault, its a feature.

Get used to it.

Do we have too? I guess it comes down to is do we want to go with the status flow or change the direction of that flow. I don't have the answer, I guess a temp solution is to get out of those cities/locations since they are too far gone.

We don't have to accept it or embrace it - but we certainly need to acknowledge it.
The refusal to acknowledge it is why we are in the shape we are in.
DADT was just to allow people to serve with honor - until it wasnt.
Now it's "bake my cake mother fucker"
"Pay for my surgery you fucking bigoted homophobe"

Pretending that we dont have to get used to it - "the pendulum will swing the other way" sooner or later is why that pendulum never really seems to swing the other way.

If things are going to swing the other way, why didn't anything get done when the republicans finally had both houses, the white house, and the court?
Especially when they had spent the last 8 years campaigning that once they got control, things would be different?

Because there is no pendulum.

Totally agree, both political parties have a lack of fortitude and definitely are in it for themselves. The Hell with the rest of us, it's a shame we've come to this. I think most of us recognize it, but those in power do not; or they just don't want to at this point. It's kind of like a Catch 22, isn't it? All I know is that I'm just going to live my life the way I want at this moment. The only one I can depend on is myself.
