The Batlord

And didn't you live in Massachusetts before that? That hotbed of rightwing fanaticism?

The second part of the post answers both of you. My opinion that you're conservative is only based on what you posted here on MB.

Funningly enough I lean right a bit when it comes to economics.

Then say liberal ideology next time.

yes and i understand the mistake but when i correct you you imply that i'm lying.

i will put it like this... i am a human being who doesn't pledge allegience to a political party so i have my own thoughts.

the vast majority of my opinions on policy would put me in the left.

there are really only two major exceptions where i feel like i do deviate from the mainstream liberal consensus.

1) PC bull**** like the leftist inclination for self-censorship
2) foreign policy

to a certain extent i also disagree with the way some liberals approach the gun debate... but i don't agree with the NRA either because they make it impossible to clamp down on the black market...i believe the emphasis shouldn't be on which kinds of guns to ban but rather how to stop legal guns from ending up on the black market.

tbh in theory i don't even argue that gun bans don't work, because they clearly do in certain countries... however the bottom line is that the bill of rights can't be changed, and the 2nd amendment is in the bill of rights. so without either a really corrupt supreme court or some sort of bloody revolution, we can't ban guns in america. it just is what it is.

but besides that... i am a leftist i just have 0 faith in political action in this system so i really don't care who is president. i only want trump to win cause the smear campaigns against him have been so overt and obnoxious and the mainstream media is honestly so much more hate-able than he is so i want to see them rage



not that surprising... you have money

The Batlord

California. Liberal ideology. Same difference.

Yup. You need to read this book.

The Second Amendment: A Biography. By Michael Waldman

The 2nd is definitely not black and white. Check out the synopsis on Amazon.com

I'd provide a link but I don't know how on my tablet.

you mentioned the book before... thing is i'm probably not gonna read it. just tell me how you get to no guns from the 2nd amendment... cause last time i asked you i think you said something that didn't really convince me
