Shouldn't it be fairly easy to child-proof guns without affecting even the ability of even the most tremulous, frothy NRA paranoid to fire it in a moment of necessity? Like, add a second safety switch you have to depress to fire in a position where tiny hands couldn't reach it?

Gun safety = gun control = will be violently opposed without any compromise by everybody who doesn't want to explain an F rating on the 2nd amendment to his constituents

There's already a simple way to keep guns out of the hands of toddlers. Don't set your loving gun down next to a toddler. Unfortunately the venn diagram of "loving idiots" and "loves guns" is a goddamned circle.

It can't be they're not funny or most people don't want to watch them. It's dastardly liberals and political correctness.

The last two I read about were in cars. Because if there's any place it's hard to secure your gun away from a small child, it's in a car with a row of seats in the front, a trunk or rear compartment in the back, and your kid strapped to a car seat in the middle.

Just watched the Wilmore set and holy poo poo I was laughing almost the whole time. I usually don't find Wilmore to be that funny because he always seems nervous on his how but he was really relaxed and didn't give a single gently caress that he was getting groans and boos. Mad respect for him.

Mad respect for him. Yeah, he scorched the gently caress out of the press, which was funny as poo poo. My favorite line of his was kind of a throwaway when he's like "Who you killing tonight?" to Obama.

"But man you have to admit it is a really tough race between Bernie Sanders and Democratic Nominee Hillary Clinton" "Donald Trump says if Hillary were a man, she'd only get 5% of the vote. If Hillary Clinton were suddenly a man, her biggest problem would be finding a bathroom in North Carolina." "I'm not surprised Donald Trump is happening to America. I watch movies. Everytime there's a black president, something comes to destroy the Earth." Larry Wilmore, your show sucks, but you are the best.

Whole lot of Yoda rape ITT.  e:whelp Jonas Albrecht posted:I'm predicting neither Bernie nor Cruz drop out until June. Cruz maybe even later since he's basically LARPing as the frontrunner. Cruz is playing the long game of trying to deny Trump a majority of delegates so he can steal the nomination away at the convention by ensuring as many delegates as possible are his people.

You folks know it's possible to turn off avatars, right? Rather than go on and on about them? Meanwhile, the collapse of the GOP has led to hard decisions for everyone's favorite group: College Republicans http://chronicle.com/article/How-Young-Republicans-on-One/236258 quote:In the fall of 2014, Mr. Lindsey — now a senior who will graduate next month — along with his fellow student and friend, Ryan Kromsky, founded the University of Maryland Progressive Republican Club. The club — the first of its kind in the nation, they say — is founded on simple principles: conservative economic policies, and a willingness to concede the fight over social issues, in hopes of re-energizing the party and attracting more diverse people to vote Republican. As Mr. Kromsky put it, they "firmly believe in conservative economic policy" and limited government, but they won’t spend time "arguing over abortion." quote:Shubham Chattopadhyay, a freshman computer-engineering student who is a member of the group, said he was excited to cast his vote for Mr. Trump in Tuesday’s primary. He has enjoyed being politically involved, even if that means venturing out to chalk at 2 a.m. — which the group does to protect members’ personal safety, Mr. Chattopadhyay said.

He's spent so long slapfighting with hacks though, it's even more fun to watch him squirm when he picks a fight outside his weight class. Can't wait to see him go at Rem.

We're well on track to maximum chaos. Fresh from Arizona: quote:Donald Trump's Arizona campaign chair on Saturday night accused Republican Party officials here of fixing the vote to favor Ted Cruz and his allies after winning only an estimated dozen of the state's 58 national delegates. So it sounds like Cruz is managing to pack the delegates with his supporters, despite losing in the popular vote.
