Sotomayor: If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military to assasinate him, is that within his official acts to which he has immunity?

“That could well be an official act,” Trump lawyer John Sauer says

    This should help left leaning voters reconsider gun restriction laws since most of them are enforced in blue areas, while red areas are all allowed to have essentially entire armories.

    If you live in New York or California, you can’t find a gun store within 100 miles of where you live that can only sell extremely restrictive features that would give the most battle hardened Navy Seal issues hitting targets, but in Idaho and Texas there’s a gun store on every fucking corner selling easy to shoot highly ergonomic firearms that allow morbidly obese boomers to effortlessly hit the dick off a fly at 1000 meters.

      Begging to differ, I’m sitting on my toilet in California and a quick Google shows there’s 3 gun stores within 5 miles of me. I’d have to pass the legitimate restrictions (which I easily could) and one of them looks very upscale and expensive, but physical access is not a problem at all.

        Fair point, but I’m sure you are only able to be sold a very specific set of authorized firearms, that when compared to what similar stores in other states happen to also sell; will reveal the differences are orders of magnitude.

        Case in point: a Cali compliant AR-15 is a horrible thing to shoot (I own this one).

      Biden actually has control of the arsenal.

      Unless you are a leftist, committed to dying in a revolution, there’s no comparison to Biden’s position. Clinton and Obama? Maybe
