It won't be pretty for either of them. 
People thought somebody would emerge by now. I did. Seems like a new Democrat would jump in. Doesn't Warren surging worry people?

It won't take long to see how well he has been dealing with it.
Still a lot of people that will take a lying Trump over an honest Warren.

Yep. We are not better off with Sander's 16 trillion dollar plan or Warren's plans. Does it matter if they are honest?

If we didn't have Republicans, we wouldn't have recessions!
A more peaceful world and a world of people that once again liked us and looked up to us and respected our president, almost full employment, less crime, $20 minimum wage, free medical, rent control so anybody could have cheap rent and live in any neighborhood, free college, canceled student debt, and 16 year olds could vote. Everybody would sell their guns to the government. With no Republicans that would happen in the first year or two!

Yep, I'd rather have that than a 50!

Had The Background Check Been Done

Posted By Mel Maki
Looks like he did get the background check. However the FBI screwed up and failed to properly report the drug charge that would have prevented the sale.
Also, the people that attempt to illegally buy but are prevented by the background check have not always been prosecuted for their attempt to buy the weapon. More are now being charged.

The (Latest) Texas Mass Shooting

Posted By Mel Maki
Ok, so it would not have stopped the shooting. But it might have.
We have to do something! The status quo is not acceptable! So in your heart you know that if banning semi-automatic rifles saves just one life, and you know it will, it is the right thing to do.

And then after the next shooting you know it would save some lives if we banned the semi-automatic hand guns. They are the ones that kill the most people. And they can be hidden. All of these semi-autos are made for one thing only, killing people. That is proof they should be banned.
 
Don't even bring up the right of the weaker to have a weapon for protection. It doesn't matter if you are skilled and careful, statistics prove that you, yes you, are more likely to be killed with your gun. My gun has not killed me, but ask the experts, they know.

There is no thought involved with you guys, just raw emotions.  

Tell me Rod, since your answers are always, Ban the guns, explain why in Chicago where the guns are banned extensively they have more shootings per capita than almost anywhere in the US.

Can you answer that?  

My guess is you can't, so you'll rate my question as BS.  

How convenient for you.  

Your side never has any answers Rod, just emotional responses, that don't amount to a hill of beans in stopping the shootings. 




























 
But Rich, Chicago is the very last place a resident should have a gun. There are already too many killings.

Now a news report that Rod was right. Saw a couple of minutes ago that it was indeed a private sale.
I did see earlier accounts of  FBI mistakes making his background check worthless.
In the race to be first in big events some of the news is also worthless.
