Here you go!!!All this talk of guns , and youngsters holding guns, is making Donald very nervous. And he's pissed off at Putin. You don't want pissed and nervous leaders.
Now , let's get back to talking tariffs!
Or let's not
Also interesting is the English Bill of Rights 1688 which gave all citizens the right to bear arms.
One point, our constitution doesn’t give us rights, we have those rights and the constitution sets limits on what the government can do or regulate. While words were lifted, it is a rather unique document for its time.
Interesting. My most used shotgun (quail and dove) is my Dickinson 28 gauge side-by-side. Imported from Turkey.
What it means, is we don't stfu about owning guns. Go to any other modern democracy, and the topic just never comes up. Just us Americans. And no, I'm not anti gun. It's just a matter of being self aware and noting some observations about us aren't an insult, they are just observations.
Thank you for clarifying. I would have never complied with this. Your country, your laws, and your culture. If that works for y'all then great.
I disagree completely. Most countries do not have the freedoms that Americans enjoy. Ask Brits or the Germans about what is happening to them if their government doesn't agree with what they post on social media....
Hence why they are often called "God given rights". The rights do not come from the government but rather are given to use by our creator when we enter this world. This is what makes it particularly frustrating when you have to live under the rule of King Newsom and his 9th circuit court of appeals here in Kalifornia.
Now if we could just rein in the often abused "general welfare" clause, the regulation of interstate commerce and the 14th amendment which has been so abused as justification for practically anything, we might right the ship.
Denmark or not, those percentages you quote are nothing to do with tariffs. Value added tax (sales tax) is applied to almost all consumer purchases.
This isn't only about tariffs, it is about barriers to entry into a specific market.
It is not a barrier to entry; it is across all suppliers. It is even allowable under WTO rules, as it treats all equally.
I mentioned free speech as the other 'freedom" that the US "enjoys". Not to debate one county against the other, but I do agree that US libel laws need to be modified in this dawning era of social media. And if social media doesn't direct more of its profits to police itself against libel, bullying and harassment, then it can expect the government to eventually step in and do it for them. For instance, in the old days, I couldn't purchase an ad in the local newspaper and declare "Commodore Is A Scoundrel". But today, I can post it, without repercussion, for thousands of people to see before it gets taken down. I agree with you though - government is definitely not the best arbiter of truth when it comes to social media.
How much did it cost Apple to conform to the EU ruling to change their charging ports? To open up their app store? There are a lot of ways to close markets beyond simple tariffs.
