Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I think it's comical to be concerned about Trump with a gun. This is just a circus.
It's not being concerned about him with a gun, it's the blatant law breaking out in the open making a mockery of our laws and enforcement
He's going to test his fifth avenue hypothesis.
Fine with me as long as he does it completely alone.
Honestly? I might actually vote for him if he kills himself before the election
How can you vote for him then? What happens if a person on the ballot is dead?
Enough votes for a dead candidate to win may be converted to a phylactery through a dark ritual known only to certain necromancers in a D.C. pizza restaurant's basement. They take a break from animating Mitch McConnell for a few minutes, cast a spell and we get a lich president.
The most likely answer if a dead person wins the presidential election is that the vice-president-elect becomes president. There are, however other possibilities.

It's happened, too lazy to search for the politician that won after dying.
I would do it as a protest vote, but not if it means the vp gets it 🤢
I don't think people should be allowed to get away with breaking federal laws on national television.
lolbruh, welcome to post-2016.
He's doing it simply because he was told he couldn't and he knows his base eats up the whole "rebel against the government" schtick. Which is ironic because they're also, ostensibly, the party of "law and order", i.e. cop-sucking.
As if he doesn't already own several? I'm pretty sure I read something about him carrying a .45 regularly, but that was a few years ago.
But sure, if he wants to stack another felony on the pile, go right ahead. Whatever gets him into prison more quickly.
He only carries shit. If he carried a gun you'd see it stuffed into his diapers.
Dude couldn't maintain eyeball discipline during a solar eclipse.
yeah its exactly like the illegal immigration arguments. sure laws are being broken but come on they are just dumb laws. no biggie. let it go.
that comment was me basically busting balls of the comment I replied to.

So you're argument for why people charged with felonies should be able to buy guns amounts to whatabout illegal immigration?
If that's a sound argument we should stop enforcing laws period imo.
