Trump has had five years. This is on him and him alone if it’s on anyone…

More tweets. The hallmark of this administration.

So you couldn't care less if 8 non-citizens vote in our elections?
8 votes out of hundreds of millions is never going to have an affect on an election. When you run elections of our size there are going to be people who fall through the cracks.
I guarantee you we have the most seduce elections of any civilization in history. As tech (AI) increases, we can only expect to see voter rolls expand as people have more access.
If you’ve ever been to poor areas (think any Louisiana city) I guarantee you 90% of them don’t vote. AI will change that and the country will be better for it.
What about this implies anything other than Americans exercising their rights to participate in their government?
This is purportedly what republicans stand for :dunno:

Rome, Britain, early America, and Prussia all flirted with property-based suffrage.
None adopted it because the problem is misaligned incentives, not morality.
It creates a ruling class with asymmetric downside. Landowners externalize costs onto renters and laborer, but are themselves insulated from inflation, unemployment, and wage collapse.
They create policy but don’t personally absorb most policy failures. They ultimately vote for stability of their assets, not strength of the state.
That leads to underinvestment in manpower, underinvestment in industry, and over-protection of land rents.
Countries that do this lose wars.

No. We clearly need less people voting. We should go back to only landowners being allowed to vote. Or only net payers of income taxes (as in you pay more than you get from a "tax return"), at the very least.

The Qur’an consistently emphasizes truthfulness (?idq) as a core moral virtue. I’ve studied many of the world’s religions and can attest this is what an honest interpretation of Islamic teachings says.
You may be referencing propaganda or unauthorized interpretations of Islam.
Everyone should be pushing for maximum voter access. The fact you even have to register to THEN vote is a hindrance.
Same day registration would do a lot to fix this.

Yes that’s one proposal.
Wouldn’t even have to limit firearms (as long as they’re small caliber). You can hunt, shoot for fun, self defense, all of it. Just the capacity is limited. If you want to shoot more, just reload.

What be would be your compromise to protect those who need protecting (school children)?
Australia has acknowledged they have the power to make a difference and they’ve acted.
I’ve offered my (common sense) proposals. I’ll listen to yours.

Oh dear god... For dangerous game and/or home protection?
Not sure what you mean by dangerous game, but if 5 shots can’t protect you then you probably shouldn’t be out there.
This keeps mass shooters from being able to brazenly attack harmless bystanders. If the weapons they get their hands on have limited capacity, that degrades their impact.
Start with the clips. For example, anything with more than 5 bullets is illegal and can’t be manufactured. Existing ones must be turned in to be destroyed.
A peaceful society is a compromise in every respect.

I would say 5 or less.
Rifles are bolt action.
Shotguns have to be limited to 3 shells.
You can do all of the hunting you need to within these confines.
Just a recommendation.

What does any of this have to do with religion?
You understand one of the founding principles of this country was the right to freely practice your religion?

What are these common sense laws?
I grew up shooting and hunting, and I could do all of that with small caliber semi-automatic weapons that hold a small number of rounds. No need for max capacity clips. If you’re going to keep them, require specialized registration, training, and a requirement to lock them up or the owner faces criminal liability.
I’m thinking of how many kids get hold of these weapons and use them to shoot up their school. In one case the dad even admitted to buying it for the son, although he knew he had emotional problems.
As I said. If you’re being honest. You don’t like her because of her politics.
Please explain why I care about ANYTHING in Minnesota.
She’s not a bad looking woman if you’re being honest.
Thankfully we are moving (slowly) towards common sense laws our self. I’m not saying we need to be like Australia. But our own failure to act means the continued school shootings, etc., are on our politician’s hands.
Trump was almost killed himself for christsake. Common sense gun laws could have protected him.
