Reynolds signs law ending trans civil rights protections; Iowa 1st state to repeal rights

I understand what you mean. Transgender people did lose their protections for civil rights. The alt right has an unhealthy obsession with trans people. They are not a threat to anyone, but damn, did Trump convince his cult otherwise.

Sexual deviancy is not a civil right, moron.

Watch these same fake Christians call for a ban on interracial marriages before long. They will claim it's part of a mental illness and that non-white people should not have "special civil rights" to marry the person they love. Along with gay people cuz god.

I have not bought a gun, yet. I live in Pennsylvania, and have no criminal record, so it would be very easy for me to buy a gun. I am naturally frugal, but do not need to be. I could buy a new gun, and even a more expensive gun, without it making much of a dent in my budget.

It would make traveling over borders more difficult. Foreign countries will often ask Americans if they own a gun, and if they do there is heightened scrutiny.

I am not saying I will buy a gun, but I did write down your advice. With handguns I have always been partial to the 9mm, like maybe a Glock 26(as an engineer, I like Glocks). 9mm is a widely used standard, which tends to mean that it works best. The .45 was literally designed to kill horses(a much bigger creature than a human). I cannot imagine needing to defend myself from a horse. I have no problems with horses, and my daughter would never forgive me if I killed a horse.

Revolvers are more reliable, but have a slower action. You can get off 10 rounds from a 9mm stacked semi in the time it would take an average shooter to shoot 2 rounds from a revolver. I have seen some revolver shooters who can shoot amazingly quickly, but they are rarities.

The NYPD did a study of police officers shooting people at two yards or less. These are reasonably trained shooters, who can reasonably expect to have to shoot someone, shooting at a distance that a blind shooter could not miss at on a shooting range. They completely miss the target more than two thirds of the time. And we can assume that some of the times they hit the target, it was a minor wound. In the emotional, scary circumstances of shooting someone, even hardened and trained police officers miss a lot.

So I would want something that would shoot as many shots as it would take to hit the target. Even odds of one third per round, ten rounds have over a 98% chance of hitting a target. A Glock has a jamming rate of one in 5,000, where as a revolver is 20 times better, but one in 5,000 is plenty good enough. The odds of one of those 10 rounds jamming is 0.2%.

I am not an expert on any of this, so if anyone thinks I got something wrong, feel free to tell me. And again, I have no immediate plans to buy a gun. I am clearly thinking about it.

If your concerns are correct, when you need gun you won't be able to buy one. I've been to several countries and never been asked if I own a gun.

A 9mm handgun is the most common weapon in the United States and the one most often used in "gun violence".....usually with one shot to the head. LOL Second by gang-bangers, third in domestic violence.

I carry a pocket 9mm concealed carry but only have 4 rounds in it to save the magazine and with the chamber empty. While police should run toward the gunfire, I'll be heading away from it and dragging my family and anyone else who needs help with me. It's for self-defense, not offense. OTOH, a .22 revolver or semi-auto is an assassination weapon. To avoid missing, it should be placed up against the lower skull. A scoped large-bore hunting rifle if for long range assassinations. I'm 69 with a bad knee. I don't plan on getting into running gun battles with Trump's blackshirts. In a revolution, my tactic would be selective assassinations of local fascist leaders and prominent supporters plus teaching ambush tactics to more able patriots than myself.

I love when leftist atheists try and play junior theologians. On one hand they claim Jesus loves everyone then on the other they whine about him for sending people to hell. It's almost as if Jesus is just a prop to them

You walk in the darkness and away from our Lord Jesus Christ. Your choice, Yak, since God gave all of us Free Will.

Bingo, but you are talking about Democrats.

Jesus Christ is just a prop to them.
Children are just a prop to them (while they advocate murdering and mutilating them).
Women are just a prop to them (while they advocate women abuse).

Atheists don't care whether any god or gods exist or not.

You don't have a gun, Sybil. You're afraid of them.
