The original ban grandfathered weapons already owned. Given the proliferation of these guns since the 2004 expiration, I don’t think a ban with grandfathering would have significant impact while all of the other potential mitigations would likely significantly reduce gun-related violence. Just my opinion.
A prohibition on selling high-capacity, high-velocity, high rate-of-fire firearms with grandfathering isn’t expected to immediately solve the problem. It would need to work with other firearm control measures. It would however immediately be a sizable barrier for the acquisition by the young - those just turning of age - or those just experiencing a crisis and wanting to act out. Over the course of time, that benefit would slowly increase as those type of firearms naturally decay. We can increase the speed of that benefit with either voluntary or mandatory buy-back programs. The speed could be further increased over time with requiring a registration and permitting system (for those grandfathered) and prohibiting inheritance transfer absent a permit. We could also tack on required training to the grandfather permit.
No single measure should be expected to fix our problem. We would need an array of measures.

The misinformation that this guy was "in charge of the trump russia investigation" has already been debunked. Note that that declaration isn't in the abc article but just something Sojourner Truth pulled out of his ass.

Nobody fucks with Mike Pence and walks away from it.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/11/politics/mike-pence-gridiron-dinner/index.html
QuotePence rebuked Trump for his role in the January 6, 2021 attack, saying he was “wrong” for claiming Pence had the authority to overturn the results of the 2020 election in his role presiding over Congress that day, saying “history will hold Donald Trump accountable.”
“President Trump was wrong. I had no right to overturn the election and his reckless words endangered my family and everyone at the Capitol that day, and I know that history will hold Donald Trump accountable,” Pence said.
Pence also scolded those who have downplayed the people who entered the Capitol on January 6th as tourists.
“Tourists don’t injure 140 police officers by sightseeing,” Pence said. “Tourists don’t break down doors to get to the Speaker of the House or voice threats against public officials.”
Pence chastised Republicans who minimized the insurrection, days after Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired new security footage from inside the Capitol on January 6th in an attempt to defend the mob.
“Make no mistake about it, what happened that day was a disgrace, and it mocks decency to portray it in any other way,” Pence said at the dinner.
Pence also said people “have a right to know what took place” during the insurrection, days after he asked a judge to block a subpoena for his testimony to the special counsel investigating the insurrection.

so the hours of video of the cops showing people around and even leading them into the chambers and not out the doors is somehow not complicit? look, I'm not a natural cop hater - I fall somewhere in the middle - but every officer in and around that building who was not doing everything they could to get people out and secure the perimeter failed our country that day. saying otherwise is an injustice to those who did try to fight back and protect our capitol.
Yes. Those videos of cops intertwined with the protestors, the videos of cops opening barriers, etc. is not evidence of complicity.
Those videos are used by propagandists (Tucker, Twitter trolls) to make it look like they are complicit and to sow discord and division.
Barriers were opened and abandoned when protestors had breached behind the barriers. There isn’t a point in battling protestors if they can just walk around. It would have been extraordinarily dangerous to try and do that. Once an area had been breached, once a part of the capital was breached, the cops were outnumbered and all they could do was keep the peace - I.e., be present and wait for the clear out activities to commence.

I see @GW Hayduke negged my post. Maybe they would like to explain their stance and why they want to be on the wrong side of history.
Because the police weren’t being complicit. That is just a dumb narrative pushed by Tucker Carlson, right wing trolls, and those gullible to their propaganda.

Evidence? Of course I don't have evidence. I'm just some schmuck opining on an internet message board. But when you consider that these assholes love to blame the other side for the shit they are actually doing (every accusation is a confession), and how quick they were to blame a very specific Dominion voting machine, it makes me wonder. They didn't just pick Dominion voting machines out of a hat, and with the involvement of Steve Bannon...a guy who's made a lot of money "influencing" elections all over the 3rd world...something doesn't pass the smell test.
HG and WTB are probably closer to the truth, but every time one of the conspiracy theorists in my life starts spouting some bullshit, I hit them with the "Republicans actually hacked the voting machines" and watch the gears grind. It's kind of fun, actually.
Ok. The Stop the Steal folks also don't have evidence. I perceive that theory to be anti-democratic, dangerous to the US, and exactly what our foreign adversaries want. Is there a reason I shouldn't perceive your theory as the same?

My theory is the reason they went apeshit about it in 2020 is in 2016 they had hacked the specific voting machines they were bitching about. They ran the same play in 2020, with the same number of votes in the same precincts but didn't account for higher turnout. Trump acted like a guy that lost a lot of money on a fight he thought was fixed.
Is there evidence supporting this theory? Seems dangerous. I understand Hillary was considered the favorite and she lost the electoral vote. Other than that, is there anything else? I understand the 2016 nationwide results were mostly within the margin of error. 538 gave Trump an overall 3/10 shot at winning. I don't discount the Russian meddling at all and believe their involvement contributed to Trump's narrow win - but that would likely have been generally captured in polling. I also wouldn't discount Comey's unprecedented meddling when he publicly announced his investigation 11 days before election day, which was during early voting. The polling leading up to that time wouldn't have factored Comey's meddling. Here is a good video on how "wrong" the polls were in 2016 - i.e., not very wrong.

It could have easily a legitimate civilian purpose and something went wrong and it went off course, but because the Chinese leadership is what it is, they would never admit to a fuckup
China stated it was a civilian scientific balloon that was blown off course.

I don’t think the current state of affairs in congress with regards to removal from committees is sustainable. It will get worse before it gets better.
Swalwells political accountability should be to his constituents and his party.
An effective opponent in his district should be able to use the Fang Fang situation against him pretty effectively
You still seem to be assuming that he should face consequences just for being targeted. Just because Trump, Trump Jr., and McCarthy say Swalwell acted inappropriate, doesn’t mean he actually did. Just like we shouldn’t kick reps from committees just because they are targeted by our adversaries, we also shouldn’t expect our political process to remove them either.

There absolutely should be a political consequence for getting honeypotted by a Chinese spy. Just like there should have been a political consequence for leaving the intern you are having an affair with drowning in the car you just drunk drove off a bridge. Yet here we are.
Those tweets and responses are objectively funny. Pot shot Twitter gotchas are not what I want politicians focusing on. Yet here we are.
Why should someone deserve consequences and be booted from the house intelligence committee for being targeted?
Isn’t it possible for anyone to be targeted? Should we give our adversaries total control of who is on that committee? They can just target anyone they don’t want it and then not target those they do.

This thing looks to me more about payback than over-zealousness.
It is possible this might be the desired effect of the potential misinformation about the ex's baby mama and pic taking twitter rumors. Move the opinion of a few from "this is an instance indicating reform is still needed" to "this is just a bad apple who had a personal grievance."

Let's not get all Cloaky here, so here's my only reply on this topic.
You seem to be tying your argument about blacks being disenfranchised from home ownership to the Fannie Mae settlement. Fannie Mae is for low income housing; it is part of the system, but it is not "the system". Racism does still exist, but I see nothing in your linked article that backs up "discriminatory appraisals" or "systematically disenfranchised".
Almost a decade ago I got approved for a mortgage online without ever meeting someone in person. 18 months ago I sold a house to Opendoor.com above market value, and the transaction was completely online until the day I signed the closing documents. I doubt the opendoor.com algorithm googled my skin color before it made an offer. Blacks are just as capable of using lendingtree.com as everyone else and anyone can put an offer in on a house without having a sit-down with the current owners or neighbors. By and large, if you can afford to live in a neighborhood, nobody give a shit about your skin color.
If you want to rail about income equality, educational opportunities, or the cultural importance of learning, so be it, but home ownership is all about money, not skin color.
I recommend you ponder the concept of red lining. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlining

not exactly the head of the investigation, but he was in a position to influence things. so it's a bit of wish casting from some in here
https://www.newsweek.com/charles-mcgonigal-trump-russia-2016-investigation-muller-1776049Yeah. That was generally what I’ve seen from other outlets.

because it could be construed as a cover up
Because Biden's team didn't publicly announce the discovery within 7 days after making the discovery, there could be a cover up?
They notified NARA and provided them with the documents. NARA then informed the DOJ. That appears to be the textbook, exact way to handle a situation like this -- and the exact opposite of a "cover up."
Plus, the DOJ has an apparent policy that they don't announce major investigative steps close to an election, so they aren't covering anything up. And we know they never fuck that up.

Dems basically railroading Bernie and her winning the nomination
This isn’t true. Bernie lost a primary. It was simple. Right wing propaganda and bernie bros on the lower end of the critical thinking spectrum pushed that false narrative. I find it interesting to look back and see how similar it is to today’s big lie pushed by trump.
I get that you may be influenced by right wing propaganda but ideally you would move past it.

New lawsuit based on Twitter files so he can overturn the election. It will be laughed out of court like all the rest.
I can see him filing a civil lawsuit against Twitter for trying to influence the 2020 election, and then Elon has his attorneys in court confess to Twitter doing just that. Trump is able to show the world that he is indeed, officially, without a doubt, a victim. Elon gets to continue and overhaul all the safeguards at Twitter, and when Elon is accused of putting his thumb on the 2024 election the incel crowd and Anastasia get to chant Both Sides.

How does that work? Is he only charged once indicted?
An attorney should probably weigh in, but I understand an indictment comes from a grand jury and a charge comes from a prosecutor. I may be wrong, but I thought we only had an arrest and that a prosecutor hasn’t decided yet whether to press charges
