Can anyone give me the definition of well-regulated? I must be missing something. Does that mean confiscation or regulation?

I had a very good education. All the way up the line. I learned to read and use the dictionary and do the research. If I didn't understand a word, I looked it up in that left-wing propaganda publication called, "THE DICTIONARY." I say left-wing because right-wingers don't seem to be able to read that word or know what it means.

Republicans and the NRA have convinced extremists and righties that regulate means confiscate. They say no regulation is needed. Just simply "KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO SHOULDN'T HAVE THEM - Mentally challenged, convicted felons (unless they are Republican felons or large Republican contributors), children (unless their parents our members of the NRA), poor people, Muslims, Jews, any Middle-Easterner or Mexican, wife-beaters, alcoholics, rapists, child molesters, gang members, spousal abusers, suicidal people and many other categories.)

However, they don't tell you how to find out if a gun purchaser falls into one of these categories. The best way is through registration, which is a form of regulation. With comprehensive registration and a reasonable background check period of time, these people can be weeded out, following the gun-rights desires.

Another way is mandatory gun locking systems, fingerprint ID or codes. A way of regulating who has access to that weapon.

But, rather than allow these simple fixes, the NRA has brainwashed people into objecting to something that even the NRA PROPOSED years ago, is simply unacceptable. They have convinced people that regulation means their taking away over 375 million guns (2016 #s) from almost 50% of the people in the US.

The logic is amazing. The government has trouble getting rid of 4 armed militiamen in Oregon. Imagine 165 million people.

By the way...regulate |ˈregyəˌlāt| verb [ with obj. ]
• control or supervise (something, especially a company or business activity) by means of rules and regulations: the organization that regulates fishing in the region.
reg·u·la·tion (rĕg′yə-lā′shən) n.
1. The act of regulating or the state of being regulated.
2. A principle, rule, or law designed to control or govern conduct.

3. A governmental order having the force of law. Also called executive order.

Trump is now somehow a religious idol

Some religious fanatics have officially gone bonkers. The far right have been pushing a meme for several years now that the amoral creature, conman, egomaniac, and bad person in the WH “has been sent by God to be ‘a vessel for the purposes of the faithful’ in the role of King of the United States of America,” according to Katherine Stewart.  A firefighter picks up a Bible in a moment of revelation and automatically turns to Isaiah 45. Agent Orange is also number 45. Coincidence? I think so. This disclosure is because Cyrus in Isaiah 45, is “saved” and becomes Emperor of Babylon, freeing the Jews. These Christian Nationalists, no relation to the saner version of ages past, believe the adulterer, misogynist, oaf in the White House, who is encouraging them, will save humanity.  Tony Perkins, Ralph Drollinger and V.P Mike Pence support it, as well. Deport them.

The Great builder STILL believes the wall will take three days to build.

  The Moscow Lapdog-in-Chief, stated, “Any deaths of children or others at the Border are strictly the fault of the Democrats and their pathetic immigration policies that allow people to make the long trek thinking they can enter our country illegally.” This was the first time he ever mentioned the deaths of the children by his own actions and edicts. Those children would not have been protected.  Knowing his intelligence level, he probably believes his wall can be built in three days. Most people think it would take up to fifteen years. Moreover, no one believes it will be effective.   Also on the last days of the year, the megalomaniac froze wages for Federal Workers who have been furloughed; people who are out of work, while the person responsible whines about spending the holidays alone (he did not), dines. He canceled his appearance at the New Year’s Eve Gala at Mar-A-Lago. Investors paid vast amounts of money to be in the same room with him — no refu...

Republican malevolence

The Temp President has created a mess. His vindictive Captain Queeg act and a Captain Ahab, McConnell, at the helm.  Now, a fugleman, Peter Lorre impersonator Lindsey Graham, has decided, amidst the clutter and chaos caused by the new Trump Party, to emulate his not-so-divine leader.  The new Senate Judiciary Chairman has decided during this period of Trump-inspired confusion and disorderliness, to dig up old, settled issues.  He’s decided to use the committee to begin investigations of the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton; maybe Benghazi. Of course, this is nothing but another infant being placed in a position of being able to turn on the gas on the kitchen stove. Pampers diapers must be doing great business in D.C. Trump promised that following the elections, he would request these inquiries. Now, as the self-appointed Lord of Congress, he has his sycophants bidding his orders. Neither he nor McConnell nor Graham nor McCarthy nor 53 Senate Republicans ar...
