I was not aware that you can be born in a US territory and not be eligible to run for President because you are not a US citizen. Really? I thought all territories were part of the US and being born there made you a citizen?
Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Why is it that the most unproductive members of our society blame the most productive members of our society for their failures?
Nor do people in the territories have equal representation in US government. Wasn't the original problem that led to the creation of the USA something about taxation without representation?
How was that different than what exists currently is US territories?
What we have now is giveaways without representation, not taxation.
Cheers

That's the part that is a problem, that they aren't consistent. Isn't the law supposed to be the same for everyone? Like Puerto Rico being singled out in the bankruptcy law so it's not available to them. Why? No one knows.

The MSM up to their old tricks again. They just stated (on several different networks) that the doctrine of 'the best defence against a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun' achieved nothing to protect all the concert-goers. They conveniently forgot to mention that all attendees were thoroughly searched for guns and bombs upon entry and none were allowed in, so they made the place in effect a 'gun free zone' and it is for *that* reason and that alone, that the shooter was able to spray hundreds of rounds off into the crowd with no fear of retaliation. If you get your news from Nothing But Crap, Anything But Correct or the Clinton News Network you would never know that, because they've twisted the reports around to support their disarmament agenda. *Bastards!*

Elevated/concealed position 32 stories up in a high rise firing down on a crowd with a large magazine rifle, possibly also wearing body armor? What you think some civilians pop-popping at him with handguns with whatever the legal capacity magazine is will accomplish?
Under stress a non-military/LEO but otherwise good handgun shot who doesn't train regularly would probably struggle to get a group under half a foot wide on a target at 25 yards on level ground, much less firing upwards at 5 times that range. I give you a pass cuz you're in the UK though, probably never fired a gun before.
Soon to be reduced further if larger child tax credits is part of the new tax plan. Tax credits to the poor, tax cuts to the rich, and let our creditors beware.
We're spending about $4 trillion on revenue of $3.3 trillion, so it's eithe r cut spending 18% or raise total taxes 21%. Raising the personal income tax ~+50% would do it, too.
Handguns? Hell, you could have had AR-15 rifles and you would not have had much of a chance to prevent much of the damage. But had all the bellboys been armed they could have stormed the room. So forget about the teachers, arm the bellboys!
