The chance of this lawsuit winning is ridiculously low. So it is a political move not an actual lawsuit.

Chances of the lawsuit winning may be slim.

Chances of it enacting some sort of legislation regarding the sale of massive ammounts of ammunition or military/police-grade equipment to unqualified individuals, however, may be higher.

Edit: And hey. If "lawsuits as political moves" are bad, then everyone voting Republican better be ready to oust their incumbents in the primaries.
Why shouldn't a citizen be able to have that equipment?

Oh and look, an equating socialism to fascism debate, when truth be told capitalism or what we have: corporatism (end result) is just one step shy of fascism.

Fascism borrowed theories and terminology from socialism but replaced socialism's focus on class conflict with a focus on conflict between nations and races.

Fascism is neither a type of government nor an economic model.

It's a state of society that goes beyond typical national identity or patriotism and into ultranationalism.

An article that shows just how well Ron Paul can dance.

Rand Paul Eats Up Hoax That John McCain Met With ISIS

Quote:
It’s one of the many head-scratching things about Syria that the libertarian Kentucky senator tells The Daily Beast.
Worth a read. Quite in depth for The Daily Beast.

The Gilchrist County Sheriff’s Office confirmed a grandfather shot his daughter and her six children before taking his own life at a home in Bell, Florida.

The victims range in age from 3 months to 10 years old.

Authorities identified the gunman as Don Charles Spirit. Family members confirmed to Action News the mother killed in the shooting was Sarah Spirit.

Investigators said deputies received a call about the shooting incident at the grandfather's home on NW 30th Street and NW 29th Terrace around 4 p.m.

The sheriff said a responding deputy made contact with the grandfather who then committed suicide.

The deputy searched the home and found multiple shooting victims dead inside.

"We’re asking for prayers for this community and the families involved," said Sheriff Robert Schultz.

Schultz said the person who called 911 made threats to his family and himself.

The Sheriff said the Gilchrist County School District is aware of the situation and will take care of the kids on Friday.

That's just sad, I'm going to assume the guy was suffering from a mental break, as I can't imagine what would drive a sane man to shoot his family like that.

Let's be honest though. Power and corruption go hand-in-hand. Trite cliches aside, it's an indisputable fact.

Yeah: honestly not surprised: as for your ignorant remark: negligible, because it doesn't state areas, whether or not they even finished school, or what schools they went to (which vary greatly).

So again, talking entirely out of your ***.

The best teachers I had in school were all "left-leaning".

The ones that were "right-leaning" were the ones who sucked and counted on tenure and the union to cover their ***.

Except that I'm just highlighting these to prove a point to you; I know it for what it is. Individuals being individuals.

The problem with schools isn't a partisan issue. It's an issue of standardized teaching methods and testing being absolute, utter, complete, and total ***. Combined with a dwindling support for teachers, meaning all the people who would love to help children and teach don't go into the field, because being in the field is hell.

I give props to those who soldier through it for the benefit of the children. I myself did not have the fortitude to keep on with it.

Oh, and a decided lack of funding because all the "right-leaning" politicians want to win points with stupid people who can't understand that you pay taxes to support valuable infrastructure, including schooling children.

I grew up in rural Pennsylvania.

We had a school board member who constantly voted "no" to let sports, science, and other school clubs use school facilities on Sundays beacause God.

The state and federal government have had their hands so deeply into curriculums that it's not even funny, and you know damn well that any time funding is cut to schools, it's because someone thinks they can lower taxes by doing so to make themselves look good.

Liberal or Democrat is meaingless in this argument beyond the God issue, aka the fundamentalist twatbags who think we shouldn't teach science.

Though it's true that right wing folks are more likely to cut arts and humanities, despite constant, repeated studies showing that children who participate in music and art do better in maths and sciences.

Probably the same world where the quality of education is contingent on a variety of factors outside of the binary politicization you seem to enjoy so much.

I know many teachers as well. They're all leftists. The teachers I used to have in school 20 years ago were quite liberal. Even the ones I paid directly through college tuition.

You know, believe it or not, at least when I was in school, there wasn't.

It was about teaching us a solid foundation, and then teaching us to make our own decisions.

Edit: Admittedly, college was a bit more leftist.
