The War on Drugs, the War on Terror, and the Clinton era abuse of the commerce clause are the primary avenues by which our civil rights have been infringed.
Those following the health care debate have seen a return to that last trick.
Many places in the US still impose death penalties. Most of the rest of western world does not. What should they do about our systematic extermination of "undesirables"?
I would not.
Maybe I can help.
So you write about a quote and you attribute it to "the Rev", meaning the individual christian reverend quoted in the article.
Then here you both misquote and you attribute it to "The Islamic view". The actual quote was from a single muslim cleric and there was no...
Of course, you wrote "nutbags", which is plural. That eliminated the possibility of your comment being about A particular religious nutjob. That is just how the language works.
That is unlikely to happen.
I diagreed with the substance of what you wrote. If dissent qualifies as an attack, and you...
You seem unwilling or unable to distinguish between the actions of a few radical muslims and the entire balance of the rest of the religion. You also seem unable to face the discussion directly, preferring to speak in generalities about things your television has told you are true, and to whine...
I suppose that depends on who you ask. Just because anti-Amish bigotry isn't presently fashionable, but anti-Muslim is, doesn't make it any less acceptable.

Since he wrote "muslim nutbags" we can safely assume he is concerned only with "muslim nutbags" rather than nutbags generally, or "nutjobs of any stripe" if you prefer. Singling out...
What other fundamentally unamerican activities do you propose that will make you feel safer? I'm consistently amazed at the freedoms people will give up in their rush to tuck themselves under the wing of state.
Do you have something around you don't want to trap?
If not (ie no pets) then a 220 conibear is the way to go. Live trapping is one of those feel good things to do. It helps transmit disease, and it isn't like there are great groundhog habitats that aren't already occupied by other groundhogs.
If I were just going to shoot trap with it I'd go look for a used single shot with a decent length barrel and a mod to full choke. You will only load one shell at a time regardless of the action type.
You should be able to find a Winchester 37 or similar for well under your budget.
