Black Man Kills White Teen - Jury Lets Him Walk

Good plan!

If this is directed at me, ugh what are talking about? Stand your ground? I don't care about it. Not at all. Mostly because any and all of this is just discussing the after effects of a guy carrying a gun around in public. If GZ did not have a gun, he wouldn't have had the balls to play cop. You know cops are trained how and when to handle their weapon. This guy isn't. You guys believe in gun rights to a fault. Even when your own children kill themselves or others with your guns. It's not even a hobby anymore. It's become an obsession for some. And it's not for personal protection. It's for holding back a fascist us military advance. You guys know how insane that sounds?

Your America is the good old boys. You make up the less populated areas. That's why you keep loosing elections.

Also, without pointing out the obvious differences between now and 1776, what are the odds of this great military revolution you refer to happening in present day America. In my mind, none.

I'd appreciate a response that doesn't reference Jews in Germany in 1930s

Spot on!

But despite the fact that a lot of these areas are less populated and less likely to win National elections, with all the gerrymandering of the red districts in these areas, they will continue to hold enough power at the State/local levels to continue their "good old boys" America.

Just because your paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you

Gerrymandering? Hate to break it to you, but the Democrats are just as guilty of this when drawing minority districts.

Granted, but it wasn't a dispute about which party was guilty or not.

My response was strictly related to the fact that poster indicated the "good ole boys" will continue to lose elections.

I was only emphasizing the fact that they will continue to lose National Presidential elections and possibly some Statewide Senator elections, but not local elections.

The current system for electing Presidents needs fixing as well. Something is wrong when 8 or so "battleground" states decide a presidential election.

Agreed.....you can make arguments for and against a "popular vote", with the winner taking the most votes overall......or with the flawed electoral system. Choose your poison.....but can a divided government fix anything?

This lead us back to the Gerrymandering of districts.......and, I failed to see any merit in how this could be allowed to take place.....with either party!

How can we have a Government for and by the people, when are states are not properly represented. I don't think the frames of our Constitution meant for our system of elections to work in this manner.

Voting districts and maps should be made by "neutral parties", not by elected officials of parties.....who obviously are going to draw districts to their favor.

Then you have a Republican controlled Supreme Court that does not want to address the issue......cuz then it would lose it control.

So....we are back to square one!

A divided government whereas nothing can get done in Congress, as a small minority in Congress has the power to obstruct and prevent anything from moving forward.....

My rant for the day.....

I'm sure a Democrat controlled Supreme Court would see it the same way. I'm sure they already have, but I didn't feel like looking it up. Both sides have have their list of reasons for keeping things the way they are. Somewhere near the bottom that list is what's best for the people in this country.

Herein lies the root of all our major problems......

Sweet!

But what are you guys gonna do when you need guns?

I won't need them. What are you gonna do when you don't need them?

[slim 1,525]

Sell them.

Actually more guilty. Irony is that it actually dilutes black voting power, and the are too busy protesting and being jerked around by Sharpton to know it.

[RGinWA 816]

I'd rather spend it on booze and hookers.

Like Sean Penn said, two hookers and a 8 ball.

LOL

Sell them.

They'll be a huge glut in the market in the next 5 years. We're saturated with firearms because of the fear mongering lobby that sells them. It's a huge scam brother.

I say remove Florida from voting altogether. They can't even vote correctly.

I sure hope so. Then prices will go way down.
