"it's time for hunters to leave the NRA"
Or are you saying you did not know that those who have been adjudicated mentally ill cannot purchase guns?

"it's time for hunters to leave the NRA"
Yeah and felons had due process. That's how they were convicted. A collateral consequence of their criminality (the determination of which included due process) is being disqualified from owning firearms. As long as you have due process protections (you know, where you actually have a hearing, have an opportunity to put on evidence, etc.) before you strip somebody of their rights, then I doubt any person has problems with taking firearms away from the mentally ill. In fact, if you are adjudicated mentally ill, you are disqualified from owning firearms, just like with being a felon. And you can always go through the process of adjudicating somebody mentally ill. What you cannot do is simply take somebody's guns because you don't like them. What if they're on the no fly list? What if the sheriff thinks they are nuts? If they can take a person's guns because he's allegedly dangerous, then why can't they just throw him in a cell to keep him - and us - safe?

"it's time for hunters to leave the NRA"
Sure but the point is that every time gun owners "compromise" they are just setting the baseline for the next "compromise" for "common sense gun laws." It's a one-way ratchet. People on this thread alone talk about things like red flag laws and how we need more/better ones. Do we not already have these in the form of civil commitment statutes in virtually every jurisdiction? What about due process rights? How will those be observed and protected? Oh they won't, because guns? What's the limiting principle on that approach to civil rights/civil liberties? Did you know that the NRA has helped legislatures in some states with their red flag laws if proper procedural safeguards are adopted and observed? The concept that the NRA, or any other advocacy organization, has the responsibility to address our nation's manifest mental health crisis at every turn is laughable. What exactly are they supposed to do? Build mental health facilities?

This thread is weird. Huge guy kicks people's asses in amusing and entertaining ways. What's not to like? It's not like the books were MacBeth. They're all the same fucking story.

Shit I've Cooked Lately
I like their wine too, but who came up with that stupid brand? I mean, would you rather have "Stag's Leap," "Oak Thorn Something Something," or "Steve"?

Official 2021 Bitch about family/Holiday Insanity
Your F-I-L sounds like a piece of shit to do that to his girls. I'd throw my sons away before I hurt my daughter.

That is true. I have no respect for your parents' home. Ask your mom.

I love when people describe their own behavior as "gracious." Is she using one of Trump's old media people?

The Italy Thread
I'd much rather stay near the Pantheon than Trastevere. Trastevere is really cool but it can be hard to get in and out of when you want to see the rest of town. The Pantheon is in the heart of everything.

Washington DC
DC enjoyment depends almost entirely on what you do for a living, IMO. If you are plugged into the things that make the place run, it's great. If you aren't, then it's just a bunch of jabbering assholes who are drunk on their own self-importance.

Agree on the botanical gardens but I really save that for when it's cold outside. It's awesome to walk into a big room of orchids in the middle of winter.

Museum of Natural History is also excellent.

Denis Villeneuve's Dune
I agree. That's also an interesting thing about the book. Most of the action sequences are alluded to.

Denis Villeneuve's Dune
I thought it was extraordinarily well done. There were a few changes from the book I didn't really love but overall it was very faithful. I also think they picked a weird place to end but overall 4 stars.
