    You want gun ownership (presumably only by Caucasian males) to be a felony punishable by a lengthy custodial sentence, and the "leadership" of an organization you dislike summarily executed?

    Only yellow-bellied cowards need bang-bangs. Your 'organisation', like the nazis, is responsible for innumerable deaths, as you know.

    "To your point of school sports, there are plenty of private community leagues that can take up the slack. Here in Md., none or few schools offer ice hockey ... so when I was in elementary school, I started playing in a private league." Bd #85
    As you know, privatizing is a popular conservative cause.

    Though I have my personal preference, what's more important is that any ostensible improvement (change) be transitioned to without negative impact on the students, or the $tax $payers.

    Current indications of such privatization seem not as encouraging as initial proponents claimed. But that may merely mean early implementation efforts fell short.
    "It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

    I've been all over. Travel is a broadening experience, in my view. I've not been off the planet, though.

    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    In this case, I am advocating for a federally regulated and funded, online voluntary choice for all students and parents. I believe it will lower taxpayer costs.

    Should colleges be allowed to profit from their student players? ... if they were forced to eliminate their sports programs, private leagues would replace them ... very quickly ... and some players could get fairly paid for their hard work.

    Who told you I'm white, and what does ethnicity have to do with the subject? Are you a racist?

    It's not a zero-sum equation, is it?

    How would you propose that the government stop people (of any ethnicity) from committing crimes (of any description) in our society?

    What does ethnicity have to do with the Chicago murders?

    Answer: Everything.

    It is an absolute no brainer to recognize what white men mass murdering white children has to do with ethnicity. I wonder how you missed it.

    Start with restrictive guns laws, especially on automatic weapons that have no place in sane society.

    Based on your posts, I assumed you were white.

    Are you a racist if you comment on black crime?
