Kamala Harris picked for VP.

Hits the african american, and indian american check boxes. But she's california, and questioned if Biden is racist. it's a bold pick. Biden's staff questioned her loyalty, which is weirdly Trumpish.

finally, DNC will need a strong counter to accusations she slept her way up the DA ladder in Cali. Bad look when paired with "sleepy Joe." Could make for an easy 1-2 punch for Trump.

RIP to my firearms if Biden is elected.

I’m sure Harris will be have to deal with a lot of questions with respect to her time as AG. She has a reputation of being tough on crime. But I suppose Uncle Joe did to in the 90s.

Harris is a pretty uninspiring pick. Please don’t die in office, Joe.

yeah, the stories about how Harris ran her campaign and managed her staff make her look like a nightmare. But I guess she's black, so Biden has fulfilled a promise. Still, not inspirational. Duckworth would have been great. Abrams would have been better than Harris and offered the potential to flip GA. Not sure what Harris brings to the table.

Lame choice. At least it wasn't Tim Cain.



FFS Lithy. Oh, wait...

I kid, but seriously have you seen the Biden gun safety plan? It’s not hyperbole to say if enacted many people will lose their guns. He’s calling for certain guns to be registered under the 1934 National Firearms Act. He’s also calling for magazines to be regulated under the NFA. Just about every firearm regulated as an NFA weapon costs $200 to register. The plan states people can have the government buy back their “assault weapons” and high capacity magazines (how can they buy back property they don’t own?) or register their guns and mags under the NFA. I don’t have thousands of dollars to register my weapons. What am I to do? Some people will have tens of thousands of dollars in magazines alone. Many people will have to pay thousands to register their guns.

Harris has been pretty pro police and anti gun which to me sends a pretty clear message: only elites and the state should be armed.

The state’s agents have really been doing a good job lately showing they can be trusted with arms.

Just buy a gun before election and call it a day. Even if they change the laws I don't think they have the reach to actually confiscate guns you already own. I think. Have no clue. Fact check me, assholes.

I lost all my guns in a boating accident anyway.

I’ll stop talking about guns and Biden. It’s not going to be a defining issue for the election. Trump doesn’t support the Second Amendment anyway, not that he supports anything other than his own brand and profits.

Is Harris really a good choice? Isn’t this just a fuck you to progressive Democrats?Hasn’t Harris locked up her fair share of black and brown people as an attorney and AG?

I don’t get it. Is she the safe choice and the DNC just wants progressives to get the fuck back in line because they know they’re voting democrat anyway?

Any of the other candidates likely to get jobs in the administration if Biden is elected?

What a shock... Progressives getting cucked again by the DNC. Suck it up and vote against your interests like you accuse Trump voters of doing. This probably means Rice will be Secretary of State and the indefinite continuum of foreign adventurism. I'm sure neoliberals are too busy creaming their pants because gender and diversity yay.

Rice as secretary of state has been a given for weeks now. It's a perfect role for Rice, who lacks the charisma to be a running mate. And that's not to say she's boring, but rather she's cold, calculating, and willing to tell people to literally fuck themselves, which is something we had with Dick Cheney, who at some point probably forced someone to literally fuck themself, and then apologize publicly to Cheney. (Dick Cheney once shot a man in the face, and then made that man apologize on television to him for getting in the way of his muzzle).

I'm not crazy about progressives because I am not crazy about their direction with the country. Gender and diversity are the progressive focuses right night, if AOC, Omar, and Tlaib are taken into account. Bernie's ideals are more gender neutral, but as far as progressives go, he's just a vehicle for the gender police to push their agenda. As a moderately liberal voter, I prefer something that is less likely to lead to mass castration and butt plugs 4 all.

What guns would you buy now if you decide to re-up?

Then go the gun store or shut the fuck up. I love you anyway, but think about how fucking ridiculous you sound.

Kamala is the worst choice. I hate everything right now.

Duckworth was the obvious choice. I give up.

To buy one I ’d have to take a test, pay a $31 fee, sales tax, buy the gun, then wait 10 days to get it. I’d rather build an unserialized weapon at this point. Fuck the state.

Assuming he is elected, The only way Biden’s gun safety plan is going to pass is if the Senate flips to Democratic control. But I’m pretty sure we’ll see some CA/NJ/NY style gun control if it does. These laws are not created by experts. They’re the worst kind of feel good pandering. We’ll definitely get a new AWB.

(PS: I didn’t lose my guns in a boating accident but that’s what I’m telling the feds. “Boating Accident” is a stupid gun owner meme.)

But I agree. Harris sucks. I might vote for Biden, but RIP my guns because we aren’t getting any help from SCOTUS anytime soon.

Oh well.

With respect, what’s ridiculous? My hyperbole and “they’ll take muh guns!” rhetoric? I’ll concede that but this is NG.com and I kinda don’t give a fuck.

Seriously: If the government is controlled by the Democratic Party do you truly believe strong gun control will not pass? The platform since Obama has been calling for a return of an assault weapons ban and since the sunset of the federal AWB many staunchly democratic states have imposed tough assault weapons bans.” Do you not think the new federal ban will be modeled on a state such as NJ, NY, CA, MA, or HI?

The NRA is dead (and good riddance.)

RE: SCOTUS It’s been a decade since they took any meaningful firearm cases. Since then many lower courts have not followed the Heller/McDonald decisions and frankly there are a lot of unanswered questions.

In 2008 SCOTUS said firearms in common use are legal for use in self defense. What I’d like is a ruling on what “common use” means. I personally won’t accept anything less than parity with law enforcement.

The AR platform is the most widely produced, widely available rifle in America, arguably in “common use” but we’ve got standards all over the place.

States rights are cool but the right to keep and bear arms is protected by the constitution but a gun you could own in Wyoming or Montana would send me to prison in NY or CA. How can we have “rights” in the federal constitution be so drastically different in certain states?

But I expect Climate Change and International relations will be more important in the first 100 days of a Biden administration.

They'll abandon the assault weapon turn in thing instantly upon election.

As you said, climate stuff and a return to the international table will take immediate precedence if the white house turms over.

The demodorks couldnt even get an expanded background check that 90% of citizens supported passed thanks to grandstanding about ARs and bamning them. Is the world a better place without the background check? No. Should ARs be banned? Also no.

As long as states like wyoming and tennessee and wherever else exist with their state gun regs exist then common use goes in your favor. So take a deep breath.


Also sell your fucking house and head for the hills. Fuck California.

how is she the worst choice?

Biden could have gone with Bass, who is carrying some baggage to say the least. If he didn't handcuff himself to choosing a black woman, there were worse non-choices, and many better choices (Bernie, Kerry, Romney).

Harris may not carry the same qualities as Duckworth that you want (which I think seem heavy focused to veterans, and I don't know what else), but Harris isn't horrible for us. She's competent, tough, has a mean streak, and may appeal to both black and Indian voters. And further, when it comes to voting, you're not going to be happy unless the media system manufactures your approval.

Harris was the obvious choice because of the difficulty in attacking her as being too far left when the complaints about her within the party were the she was too far right on law and order issues.

So now, Trump's campaign has to try to complain about her record as AG while also trying to say she is approving or at least condoning the recent activity surrounding BLM and similar that Trump wants to paint as chaos and criminality.

That Fox op-ed from roker above shows this in microcosm. It complains about her record as too tough and then suggests she is a socialist. In combination, neither of these attacks will stick, they'll have to pick one, but neither are good. Attack her record as too tough on crime while Trump wants to paint himself as the law and order candidate or call her a socialist when she is quite clearly a recent convert at worst or more simply a bandwagoner during the primaries like everyone else was (including Biden).
