Justin, there's a reason all your posts lately get deleted. There even more pointless and pathetic than you. Even KMIZ sees it. Now stfu and let the adults talk. Someone's at the drive up window, you screwed up their order, again

Jack L

You can`t afford us Max lol

Max DeYoung

I admire Jennifer, Adam and Jack for displaying their legal expertise and knowledge. If I ever need Legal Console, I will certainly contact them.

Adam

Omg haven't we already "discussed " this?

Jack L

It`s better than nothing I guess. I wanted universal background checks

Max DeYoung

Under current federal law, licensed dealers are required to run background checks on all gun purchases prior to making sales. ATF Form 4473 contains the purchaser's name, address, date of birth, government-issued photo ID, National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) background

Jack L

EXCEPT at gun shows were you can buy a gun from any individual who is not a licensed dealer and submit to no background check at all. All you have to do is show a state ID (drivers license)

Max DeYoung

"You can also buy illegal drugs at a gun show, or anywhere else in the city, but that doesn't mean they were purchased legally or condoned by the gun show. Continue to believe anything you want to, regardless of how true or false it is."

Illegal guns will be sold in any city, it`s true. But it takes longer and you have to hunt up someone who is selling guns from the trunk of his car and this takes time

Jennifer M

And you can't get one illegally in Miami, Fort Worth, Jacksonville or any republican controlled city? Max that was dumb even for you

Jack L

Max, you say "all guns sold at gun shows are by dealers?" You must not have been to many gun shows then. Many individuals sell guns at gun shows. Dealers can sell their guns at their stores

Max DeYoung

The example you are citing has nothing to do with the gun show. That can happen anywhere in any city. All guns sold at or in a gun show, is by a dealer. The Gun Show Loophole is a lie created and repeated by democrats. Repeating a a lie over and over does not make it become true. It is still a lie.

Jack L

We can`t do anything about illegal gun sales, but that`s no reason to make it easier for criminals to buy guns

Max DeYoung

And you can buy one illegally in any democrat controlled city, without an ID.. Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit, etc...

Most Senate Republicans voted against ending the filibuster and gun groups are critical of the legislation.

Creating more laws to hinder good people, will have no affect on criminals, while existing laws are not enforced. Even morons realize criminals don't obey laws. Too bad democrats and RINO's, are not smart enough to understand this. Blunt will be replaced with a real man, and it won't be John Wood.

More guns = less crime Always

Lisa Gore

Shall Not Be Infringed. Supreme Court just ruled: only justification needed is the right to defend ourselves. The Marxists and communists in other countries disarmed their population and tyranny rules. USA was based on not being controlled by Kings/govt. bad guys rule too. And can always get guns.

Adam

At least you didn't open your trap about election fraud again.

Max DeYoung

And in addition to that, Roe vs Wade has been overturned. Murder, I mean abortion, is no longer Federally protected.

Max DeYoung

When the House and Senate are all done adjusting the Constitution, The SCOTUS will gut this phony Socialist Bill.

There wasn't such a thing as sick days in the Army. You were told to quit being a female body part and ruckup and draw fire.

Toasty

The new paid sick leave requirements were another 'problem' that didn't exist and certainly didn't require more government regulation.

If you staff correctly & uphold attendance policies, there shouldn't be an issue. Unwell employees means non-productive employees. If you can afford expensive vacations, then you can take care of your employees. It's that simple.

Of course, isn't locking up people who are criminals their jobs?

Thomas OSullivan

This is a matter of law and order. I have no problem with immigrants coming to this country LEGALLY. Immigrants built this country and are a valuable asset but there is a LEGAL process that must be followed. Biden, Majorkas were disasters when it came to illegal immigration.

Eric Smith

We might get a bit closer to having fair elections without those voting who aren't even citizens.

Fred

Yes, that would be a problem that needs to be addressed ... if it actually existed.

Toasty

Immigration laws exist for a reason. I can agree our current immigration process is too complicated, expensive, and ripe with corruption. The solution is to change the process, not allow people to stay here illegally.

Jim Rosenberg

Illegal is Illegal, no matter the situation. Law enforcement is there for a reason, to enforce the laws. If I was in another country illegally, then law enforcement in that country would do the same thing, but probably jail time first. Without laws and law enforcement there would be anarchy.

Just like a Macy's sale, "they all must go!"

This is not a matter of legality. "IlLeGaL" immigration is a misdemeanor, like jaywalking or speeding. That people are being apprehended at immigration court dates, schools, and churches shows that these people are not dangerous nor violent. And finally, detention without due process is kidnapping.

Jeffery Schuyler

This is not only anti-american, but it is cruel, inhumane and counterproductive. Trump has managed to convince half our Country that 65 million immigrants are both an imminent threat and less than human. Worse, most of the people believing these lies are Christians.

Bobbi Meyer

Immigrants aren't the problem, politicians are

Leslie

They should focus on protecting the community from the reported crimes and not engaging in the current racial profiling that immigration authorities have been doing.

Paula Stanley

Police resources should not be used for ICE operations. Congress just voted for an unbelievably huge budget for their police state. Don’t use local community resources!

Sara Kalinowski

This is a hard question. ICE isn't explaining anything or identifying themselves. PO's might follow protocol,better. However, they shouldn't have to be involved.To be fair though, I think we spend too much unnecessary time on immigration & nothing else that truly matters.
