Good post. Like with spending, it’s incredible what some here will tolerate as long as it’s Trump. When Trump said something to the effect of he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th ave and his loyalists would still back him, he wasn’t exaggerating as we see
What’s a FUDD?
Yeah, personally the difference between most Cruz supporters and Trump supporters is when Cruz screws up (and he does on occasion) we give him heck.... Trump supporters for the most part just make excuses (liked their pride is mixed in the very balance). Most of us here understand that people are flawed, it is like picking diamonds, the less flawed are more valued by most.
Last night I was reading the Bible (Samuel) and realized how Israel was better off just trusting God instead of having a King (like other countries did). Why? Because human nature being prone to sin in some form or fashion. Our Checks and Balances help of course, but it is what it is and when elected people from far left areas rot our system we are on a razor's edge of falling... and most here see it written in the cards. It has turned me somewhat bitter, knowing that as a country, a good hard fall may be what we need (and dread it knowing it hurts and many will die). The cycle of Israel was a rough one, time and time again.
@LMAO A FUDD as I understand it basically came from the cartoon Elmer Fudd... It was a person that really cared less about the Second Amendment as long as their guns in their possession were not affected... Pass whatever gun laws you want, as long as their collection was unaffected. Perhaps they hunted on occasion, but mostly they were just content to keep their trophies for display.

@sneakypete is a FUDD...
No... but when he defends Trump at times he sure sways that way. He even recently suggested I had never shot a gun in defense of his "precious". QUOTE: "I am beginning to suspect you have never even shot a gun..." /End Quote
He attacks without thinking... Example: When I suggested I would like to have a silencer... He sarcastically asks "Why?" Ignoring that I completely answered that very question in my post... My answer was Home defense situations to reduce noise in the house (thus reducing the need for ear protection that takes time to admister)... To make shooting at the range more enjoyable (I live a freaking few blocks from the police gun range btw, though it is only open to the public on Saturdays). I also suggested that it made it possible to shoot at wild animals without scattering the group more likely, thus maybe getting several shots off (we have wild swine problems here).
Sneaky then says Quote: Yeah,other RINO's who have suddenly discovered their love of something they have never seen or ever used."... /End Quote .... So if you like freedom, you are a Rino... Only he (who he points out has been in combat and shot at others) can decide. Thank you for your service Sneakypete, but having common sense is independent of whether one served or not. Cindy Sheehan went on her anti-war campaigns with a crazy vet by her side, not all vets are worthy of being considered right on everything. I don't have to serve 14 tours to know the value of second amendment. I don't have to be a woman to know a baby is separate life. It is a fallacy that you have to be XX to know YY. It may help in some situations, but most of us know right from wrong anyways through rightful careful deduction (including hearing what people like Pete have to say).
You now so desperate to hide your hatred for Trump and justify it that you have to repeat something you don't even understand,and even THEN have to modify it to include useless crap like bump stocks and silencers?
Again, I would stomp on Cruz if he did what Trump did (different subjects)... and rightfully so... Pete has stomped on 2nd Freedoms to defend (save face?) someone you hold above the 2nd Amendment... I agree that bump stocks are probable junk trinkets, but I don't stomp on other's rights to own them... I highly disagree with Sneaky on the value of silencers (that I have only shot one/once at a gun range when a nice stranger let me shoot his on his 22). I would like to have one if the red tape was lifted.
