Exactly why the aid should be tied to Ukraine. We have an obligation to defend our country first. Why are the Democrats so reluctant to defend our own border?

    That’s fine, we should also tie border security funding to domestic gun control legislation

            Somebody failed to read the article. It was SCOTUS themselves who said it was legal.

              No, that isn’t what the court said. I would love to see you cite where the court said the ban was legal as they did not say it was legal or illegal.

              What the court ruled is they would not allow an emergency injunction. They did not rule on taking or denying the case. What the court did say is they will let the appellate court finish before they review the case.

              Once the appellate court is done then it can be sent to SCOTUS.

        What? Nobody is talking about our well-regulated military’s right to use guns. Gun control is about limiting access to guns for non-military folks. Nothing in the constitution about that.

          Heller has stated it’s an individual right outside of military service. Right or wrong, that is the ruling from the court.

          That is why the Illinois ban will get struck down. An AR-15 can server a military purpose which historically was the requirement for protection under the law.

            Who gives a shit about rulings from the court? They overturn their shit all the time. See Roe v. Wade. Law matters and this is it, broseiden.

              Umm. The people of America.

              This court is more pro 2nd amendment than the last. So I don’t see it being stayed especially using your logic.

                You like that politically charged language, don’t you? This court is certainly anti-American, anti-women, and anti-children, so I concur, they would do anything they can that fosters an environment where more women, children, and Americans in general will die.
