Most of the people on here can't vote in the American election so you may be best posting your propaganda elsewhere.

I did read about the selling of political office, however. www.nationalreview.com/article/437312/hillary-clinton-emails-secret-meetings-clinton-foundation-donors

For someone who constantly seems to know every little in and out of what those evil Republicans are doing wrong, your knowledge really seems to fall down when it comes to the Democrats, so many times when something is pointed out about them doing something wrong you never seem to have heard about it and it's 'news to me'.
I think someone may just like to hear what they want to hear.

I would imagine we agree very little on politics, but dismissing your justified disgust with Clinton just because you're on the republican side of the fence (I presume) is nonsense. What think you of Trump? Please say embarrassing cartoon prick who's fucking the party.

and that's very obviously bullshit. Nice try though.

I prefer people to follow the law as written, not say "everybody does it" or "my intentions are good" or "I'm an elite, and therefore above the law like you peons".
I also like our Constitution and will defend the right to bear arms (2d Amendment) equally with no cruel and unusual punishment (8th Amendment). You may not like either Amendment. That is your problem.

It was an amendment after all, why do you defend an amendment as gospel truth?
Also, "That is your problem" has to be up there in the list of dumb childish things to say. Of course it's someone's problem that's the whole fucking point of problems and the fact is that MANY people have these problems. Welcome to... PEOPLE!

And some amendments have been amended like those prohibiting alcohol, and those un-prohibiting alcohol. But it was intended to be a difficult process, not subject to emotional outbursts, cults of personality or marketing.

Or semi automatic weapons. Unless your constitution came down from an infallible divine moral authority on stone tablets, wake the fuck up and amend it already

Take your head out of your ass and focus on the real problem.

You want guns face it, the society you live in has brainwashed you into thinking this is ok and even as far as it is a "right" to have guns.
The 200 year+ old bit of paper you hide behind was hijacked long ago for profit by gun companies.
Everything else after that is a lie.
There are so many batshit mental "laws" in the UK also - we choose to ignore them or other laws have made them obsolete.
For example every male over the age of 16 is required to own a longbow. They have to attend at least 2 hours militia training each week.
Now what if the fletchers union in the XXX century decided to buy off politicians?
Would everyone in the UK have a longbow?

They cannot use the police power to force people to give money like politicians, this is all voluntary.

But we allow "free speech" for television, radio, and internet, which were not conceived of at founding. Additionally, at founding, there were no voting rights for women or Indians, and no prohibition against slavery.
The 2d Amendment is what is called an "enumerated right", i.e., one that is affirmatively spelled out. Compare that to the "right of privacy", which is not enumerated, but upon which we base rights to abortion, etc.

I am always suspicious of any politician who wants to control others, regardless of party. All this heavy breathing after a shooting ignores bombs going off elsewhere, and more importantly, the day to day killings that happen in the cities with the strictest gun control run by one party for the last 50 years and whose victims and perpetrators tend to be minorities. Why is that not important? Why don't people demand a change in leadership? Why are we ignoring that guns are trafficked across from Mexico? One of the cities is Obama's hometown; why is that not important?
Taking a tool will do nothing to change that circumstance.

"A quick quiz: In what century did the Supreme Court first rule that people
have an individual right to own guns? The answer is the 21st century. It was
not until 2008 -- the year Barack Obama was elected president -- that the
Court initially ruled that the Constitution imposes serious barriers to gun
control. And it did so only by a narrow 5-4 margin.
To understand the magnitude of that change, go back to 1991, when Chief Justice
Warren Burger, then retired, agreed to an interview on national television. Burger
was a strong conservative, admired on the right, and specifically chosen by
President Richard Nixon to combat what he saw as the Supreme Court's left-wing
activism."
etc.
