Why are you so y?
OK guys. I'm all for a strict restriction for the purchase of Assault Rifles. I say we:
1) Make prospective buyers register with their city and/or county, their intent to buy an assault rifle.
2) A stringent background check of the individual wishing to purchase the assault rifle.
3) The county and/or city must approve the sale before the weapon can be bought, and they are not required to approve it.
4) A law enforcement representative can with a short notice, maybe a week or two, come into your home, or registered place of storage, and check to insure the weapon is securely stored where it is registered to be stored.
Any questions?
Obvious trap post is obvious.
When did Obama say guns make us less safe?
What are you calling an 'assault' rifle ?
ain't nobody restricting again sons..we got armed citizens militias all over the country just chomping at the bit. a lot more sophisticated than you realize too..former military and police make up these groups.
Champing at the bit to do what?
The South is anxious to revolt against the big mean federal government that subsidizes every Southern State every year with urban tax dollars![]()
At best you would be able to get the national guard called in and what they would do to you would make MacArthur vs. the Bonus Army look like a bake sale.
That would be a great way to get rid of the 200 dollar tax stamp, now if we could only afford the 14K for the Colt M16.
?
States that pay a lot of taxes because of urban areas (New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, etc.) aren't getting "subsidized" by urban tax dollars when they pay more in taxes than they get in federal en lements.
States like Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, etc. receive more in federal en lements for every dollar they pay in federal taxes than other states. This isn't speculation either, it's back up by statistics. Texas is actually the only red state that pays more in taxes than it gets in federal en lements.

New Mexico $2.03
Mississippi $2.02
Alaska $1.84
Louisiana $1.78
West Virginia $1.76
North Dakota $1.68
Alabama $1.66
South Dakota $1.53
Kentucky $1.51
Virginia $1.51
Montana $1.47
Hawaii $1.44
Maine $1.41
Arkansas $1.41
Oklahoma $1.36
South Carolina $1.35
Missouri $1.32
Maryland $1.30
Tennessee $1.27
Idaho $1.21
Arizona $1.19
Kansas $1.12
Wyoming $1.11
Iowa $1.10
Nebraska $1.10
Vermont $1.08
North Carolina $1.08
Pennsylvania $1.07
Utah $1.07 29
Indiana $1.05
Ohio $1.05
Georgia $1.01
Per tax dollar paid in, how much states get back.
So the states I said receive some of the most subsidies are all near the top of the list. Now lets look at the part of the list you decided to not post (I wonder why):
Rhode Island $1.00
Florida $0.97
Texas $0.94
Oregon $0.93
Michigan $0.92
Washington $0.88
Wisconsin $0.86
Massachusetts $0.82
Colorado $0.81
New York $0.79
California $0.78
Delaware $0.77
Illinois $0.75
Minnesota $0.72
New Hampshire $0.71
Connecticut $0.69
Nevada $0.65
New Jersey $0.61
Sure enough, the urban states I mentioned are all near the bottom of the list and pay more in taxes than they receive in subsidies. What exactly did you hope to do by posting that list that endorses everything I said?

Also, you have to think about what is the main type of business for most of those red states? Agriculture, and the prices of the goods they are producing is heavily regulated and set by the federal government. These guys don't get to set the prices for their product and farmers struggle hard to earn a living. If farmers were allowed to charge a fair price i'm pretty sure the red states would earn a lot more revenue..plus your post doesn't account for a huge subsidy all the blue states get from the federal government: cheap food from the red states. It's one of those situations where you can't really make a fair comparison in the first place, glad you at least realized that blue states still take in more than that pay in and edited your post though.
all that is after you edited your post to move the goal posts. i saw what you wrote the first time...it's in dmc's quote. you said that they pay in more than they take, not that they take less than the red states in comparison to what they pay in. that wasn't even your original argument.
Wtf... That fat lard Christie better get on the phone and start asking for handouts
My post was edited to include the part about Texas. The fact you're harping on the fact I edited my post says something about your actual argument.
Please link me to something that corroborates anything you just said about what the government does with agriculture. I'm anxious to find out where you learned what you just said about the government regulating agriculture.
Bro you said "States that pay a lot of taxes because of urban areas (New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, etc.) aren't getting "subsidized" by urban tax dollars when they pay more in taxes than they get in federal en lements." and dmc's response was that plenty of blue states also receive more in en lements than they pay in..you're trying to move the goalposts.
what? The post DMC quoted it verbatim the same as my post after it was edited (DMC didn't quote my post till after it was edited). I have no idea what the you're looking at.
What? My argument that they pay more than they take in hasn't changed, I never moved it to "They take less than red states." Point out where I changed my argument.
