I believe in the supreme court
One cannot cherrypick decisions (although decisions from the 1800's supporting slavery throw a different light)
My next question is what happens if trump now eliminates NK from the travel ban ("I met Kim Jong Un and hes a great guy. The Norh Koreans are our friends now") and if he eliminates Venezuela then we are left with what? A travel ban solely on Muslim majority countries
I dont believe the ban as is should be unchangeable
But I would be suspect of what changes might be attempted by trump
Something tells me this issue is not fully closed

Do Saudi Arabia's laws apply to you here in the USA? If you say no, then you have answered your own question

Trumps travel ban was for people entering the USA. Not Saudi Arabia
Your reply is nonsensical
The constitution protects religious liberty of anyone who may be coming to our shores
Ergo it applies to people in other countries as pertaining to their travel here to the USA

Uhmmm I could've used any sovereign country as an example - it is a question regarding the principle - so, do the UK's laws apply to you here in the USA? Do France's apply to you? Do Brazil's? Nope - because their laws are their laws and, as American citizens, we cannot invoke the laws of another country - just like foreign citizens, ON THEIR SOIL, cannot invoke American laws
Once they arrive here, yes. But, not when they are on their own soil and "may be coming" (that would open your interpretation to everyone in the world outside the USA as everyone in the world outside the USA might potentially be coming to our great country) -- the US Constitution does not govern citizens of a sovereign nation on that sovereign's soil.

Your arguments are misused
The US president wants to make EOs (bans) on US soil
Those EOs will violate the constitution if they prohibit freedom of religion on US soil PERIOD!!!!!!!!
When Potus says no one from a muslim country can come in and constitutional arguments are made it is NOT the argument that the foreign muslim nations rights are being violated
BUT that the constitution forbids trump from that discrimination on US soil PERIOD
Dont you get it????
This means when people from foreign nations COME TO AMERICA (get it) their religious freedom is also protected while here regardless where they originated from
So your original statement that the constitution does not protect people from other nations is incorrect.
Yes you are right. - not on their soil
No - you are wrong they are not protected on our soil

I do appreciate you guys quoting me and reposting the video. No wonder it has 18k++ views and comes up in the top ranking when you google, "looks like David Hogg is saluting" or some combination of that. It's all the people pissed off at the video who are watching it over and over and reposting it. I wasn't looking for any particular video I just posted up whatever came up. I didn't care if his first was closed or open or the video was real or fake since I was not trying to make a serious point/post.
You, ams288 and some other people take this stuff way too seriously. I'm sorry my post upset you guys(not really)
Don't feel embarrassed, sadness or shame for me because I don't let this silly stuff get me all upset and emotional like some people. Especially, when it's clearly made as a joke and in response to the cartoon previously posted. My post was more about emphasizing that he has a face that says punch me.
FYI I'm for SOME more gun control. I just think this Hoggs kid is the worst possible face for the movement.
I do apologize that I posted a video where they edited the video to show his hand open. Here is one where his hand closed.

The travel ban is in the US
If the travel ban issued in the US is for religious reasons it violates the constitution
Thats because the travel ban issued is on US soil
So if the ban is based on religious grounds then it is subject to constitutionality
That means such an unconstitutional ban if ruled so would peripherally protect those people in other countries trying to come here
Interestingly the current travel ban has been decided to be constitutional. By your logic people from other countries can legally ignore the ban because american law has no bearing on them

2. The Supreme Court has found that there are no "religious grounds," as made clear just a few posts ago in this very forum.

Maybe to allow them to learn to use it responsibly before their heads are off-kilter with alcohol? Not a riposte, just maybe common sense.
Guns are working tools in most of rural America. There is a lot of food-gathering (duck, pheasant, deer, boar) and varmint (crop- or stock-threatening animals it's legal to hunt) removal that's not just necessary, it's a way of life. Everyone I knew growing up used them for one or the other, and most of us could use a gun responsibly by around 11 or 12. Squirrels, crows, foxes, raccoons, etc as the situation required.
Kids are cheap labor in rural America, too. One of the main reasons for the proliferation of the NRA (which they've bastardized and abandoned) was to teach gun classes in a way that turned out responsible and knowledgeable gun kids. I was an NRA member from 7th grade until the early 90s, when they went political in the events of Waco and Ruby Ridge. But chores often included using a gun to take care of something. So you learned early, and used them often.
No one got shot, except a close friend of the family tripped while hunting, his gun not on safety because he was about to shoot, and killed his adult son walking next to him. Enormous tragedy, 100% accident (several others were there). Nobody pointed a gun at their family or friends in anger.
Times change, I guess.
A lot of the disconnect on guns might be the environment in which you live. Urban, it's all about home and personal protection, and gang wars, robberies, muggings. No surprise, their majority is gun-control. Rural and small towns, it's a tool, as above, though with the movement of meth houses into rural areas there's more overlap with crime. Again no surprise, they don't want guns outlawed, harder, or more expensive to get.
But the two sides largely divide by the places they live.

Anybody who.raises chickens or a vegetable garden can explain, guns are the best varmint protection when your other choices are poison or steel traps that can target anything around them, including pets and young children.

I like how the car rental people do it. 25 years old (without paying a fee).
Should be 25 years old for everything. Drinking, smoking, voting, joining the military, buying/owning a gun...
People in their late teens and early 20's are still stupid kids as far as I'm concerned.

Nah, but really, I came here to challenge your post several pages back about "our side not moving" or some such, but I think I'm just gonna save myself the stroke and go garden instead. This argument is not an argument anymore, or at least not one I can manage. I kinda need my game to be anchored with facts and data. Yet for all my effort, I can't ever seem to engage one of the others. Point out the bastardization of language, no one cares. Point out the fallacies about "AR's" and other scary black guns, nobody cares. Bring up stone solid black and white stats, nobody cares. See watch...
Since 1950, 98.X% of ALLLLLL mass shootings, where "mass shooting" is defined as "4 or more casualties", have happened in gun free zones. That might be a little unfair, what with including such distant history where women knew their place and brown folk weren't so uppity. So let's bring it allllll the way dead into my day, in the time when me and all my millennial reject cohorts started losing their collective s#$%, Since 1998, 96.X% of ALLLLL mass shootings have still happened (guess where) in gun free zones.
I have quite literally typed tens of thousands of words about guns in this forum. I have ninja edited nothing. It's all there for any or all to comb over and look for faults, yet I cannot recall ever having a single good debate with anyone. I don't recall any of my arguments being proven false, being turned over, or being "lost", with the exception of FrG asking "why I needed a machine gun" where my only answer was "CUZ REASONS!!1!" aka, "I want it".
I even offered to help. Tell me what you want gone and I'll sit here and educate you entirely on what that thing is, what it does, and what is does not do. And then you could go off and check what I say against the entirety of the world wide web to confirm, make sure Face ain't pulling a fast one. And in the end, pistol grips and flash suppressors were still worse than contagious airborne cancerAIDS.
T'ain't worth the hassle. So I'll leave the above stat for consideration as I need the crickets to feed my fish, and I'm off to tend my garden.

Is that because mass shooters don't anticipate a fight where there will probably be no guns, or because gun free zones are typically in areas of high concentrations of people, and therefore provide for more targets?
I also found this and this for more information.

The argument to support drinking alcohol has been used to support active duty military. If you're going to defend the country possibly with your life, you should be able to drink alcohol.
I think it's bastardized to use it to defend civilians of the same age just for being the same age.
So, same with gun argument.

I'd also guess 98% of shootings in Afghanistan happen in gun-tolerant zones.
(kind of a smart-alecky response, I know)

Quote: billryanWhy should someone who isn't old enough to drink be allowed to buy and carry a gun?
Because they are an adult, and drinking has nothing to do with it.

Thats a half answer
If they are adults then why cant they drink?
Maybe because they are still deemed unable to fully make adult choices
How to handle a gun properly could be lumped in with that...
