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

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.

Jack L

You can`t afford us Max lol

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

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

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

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.

Zaos Gonzolez

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.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

Toasty

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Max

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

Sara Kalinowski

We're too close to 2026 and it'll take a long time to reverse.

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Fred

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Max

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Max

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

Max

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Jamie Kochert

On a fixed income and everything is more expensive.

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

Max

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

Steve Baumann

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Fred

Fred

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Brenda Freeman

No i don't like listening to the lies that comes out of his mouth

Fred

I don't enjoy being lied to ...

Max

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

Max

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
