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...

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.

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.

What kind of role model is this pubic official for our young people? Do we want them think it's alright to shoot people who disagree? It's time for conversation truly listening to all sides and practicing respecting everyone. The future of our country needs all citizens to respect each other.

She's been a judge long enough to merit consideration for the post. As long as Dems and GOP divide our country, conflict will continue in our nation's capital. Too much centralized government anyway. Why is rapist Greitens on the ballot?

Max

How long have been hiding in Israel?

Robert Cone

She is more than qualified, in fact more qualified than some other justices. Her record is well within guidelines set forth by the justice department.

Max

She may be equally qualified to Sotomayor, Kagan, and Breyer, but she is not nearly as qualified as the good ones. And Roberts does not count as a good one, only borderline. Not even close to the skillset of Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, or Barrett.

SG Smith

It's done finally! I feel for her, not being recognized for her ability but for her race and sex. That's just wrong! I don't care if she's a purple leprechaun if she can do the job! Here's hoping

Max

A purple leprechaun would know what a woman is, and be capable of providing a definition. She is not qualified for anything, except forwarding the Socialist Agenda. The reason she can't define a woman, is because next week, the Left may have to alter the definition of woman, for their devious creed.

no one should ever be picked for such an important position based on their gender and/ or race, but only on their qualification for the job. She will never know if she is the best person for the job, or just filling a quota. No one should ever demean themselves like that.

Max the fact that you consider it siding with pedophiles that she went with probations recommendations is rather interesting. What I find sad is you consider people who won't agree with you as pedo's. Kind of like democrats calling people Nazis. Look in the mirror cause I am sure God is disappointed

Max the fact that you call anyone who disagrees or does something you dislike a pedophile is just as bad as the democrats calling everyone a Nazi. She didn't favor them she followed probations recommendation more than prosecution. Please look at yourself and question if God would be proud of you.

Max

JH, she is the one who releases pedophiles. Horrible choice for any justice position, even at a county level. Is that over your head? Or like her, do you support pedophiles?

going to be honest Max kind of weird that you went straight to sexualizing her. You got something you want to talk about there?

Max

JH says she is a strong Judge and public defender. I disagree with that. I don't even want to see her twerking.

I mean while you have a point about using gender and race in the decision process this is nothing new when it comes to Supreme Court justices. Secondly I am not sure that I would characterize her as unqualified by any means, she has a strong law history from judge to public defender, to her clerking

Curt Russell

I guess all the pedophiles will be happy now so Biden should be real happy that all his buddies will probably get a reprieve

Bryan Shultz

Israel is a safe haven for American Jew pedophiles who escape justice in the US by fleeing to Israel. Sexual predators like Weinstein, Epstein, Phil Spector, Eric Greitens all committed horrific crimes against their female victims. Only Greitens remains free, and he's running for the US Senate.

Bryan Shultz

Missouri Governor Parson signed legislation making it illegal to boycott Israel's nefarious businesses operating in Missouri, while Israel has become a safe haven for American pedophiles. ICL, Amdocs operate freely in Missouri, and now we've got Eric Greitens, a violent rapist, running for the US

Michael Leninsky

If she supports Biden agenda and can't tell the difference between woman and man she is just as bad as he is and supports the destruction of the country.

Lisa Gore

There isn’t even a vacant spot yet, it can’t even be legal. And she supports pedophiles with lighter sentences. Absolutely horrifying someone who can’t even define what a woman is would possibly be on the highest court in the land.

First of all its common to nominate and vote on another judge when one announces retirement that's how we seated justice Scalia. Secondly how would you define a woman. If its someone who can give birth then you remove women who are barren or have lost their ovaries due to medical conditions

Max

Because she will not uphold and enforce the Constitution. That is the Primary Function of a Supreme Court Justice. She is a failure before she gets there. But she won't do any more damage than Breyer did.

Ewart Archer

Judge Jackson is too far to the left of the ideological spectrum. CNN critics should be ashamed for mischaracterizing Republican opposition to Jackson's nomination as "rude" or disrespectful, Gloria Borger does not understand the unique honor accorded yesterday to Judge Jackson when the Senate appla
