No, actually it wasn't. It was a good board when it was Talk IRVINE.
I think the media has been painting a very dishonest picture of Trump, so anything looks like a 360 degree change when you actually see what's going on rather than tiny clips.
It's kinda ironic because Trump does have a lot of legit gaffs and things to criticize, but the media still feels the need to exaggerate and distort.
Republicans will likely turn on him once they realize he's not the same guy that their news outlets advertise, either..
Dicks Sporting Goods in CA does sell firearms, but not at all locations. Locally the Huntington Beach (near Old World Village) and Cerritos Mall locations carry firearms and ammunition. They do not carry semi-auto center-fire rifles.
I shop at the Cerritos location, the fishing/hunting section is upstairs on 2F. Please remember to take your purchases out to the parking lot to your car and not inside the mall.
Founding Principals is represented by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. For example, individual liberty by Amendments 1-3, Private property by Amendment 4, and limits to government power by Constitutional articles. But yes, the ultimate authority is the Supreme Court and that's way above my pay-grade.
What I'm concerned about is more mundane, like the consequence of growing political divide. I foresee a future where if you're in a car accident, someone passing by might eyeball your political-ideological bumper sticker and decide not to call 911, because they think you're better off bleeding to death.
It's also concerning that everything you post on social media (facebook) or even text messages are screened and archived. Your potential employer, government, law enforcement, and people from "the other ideology" all might use this data against you. On my FB account I've already scrubbed most controversial content. You'd find Korean Drama posts and profile picture of a young Korean actress (Shin Min-A).

NTSB doesn't represent car makers...they set up standards for car makers to meet and calls them out for not meeting them. They don't fight regulations and laws that make cars safer. Organizations like NTSB are why motor vehicle deaths has significantly dropped in the last 50 years. In fact, car makers are make their product now to to reduce most accidents by adding AI and self-driving mechanisms. Still, drivers need to be licensed and insured while we need to register our cars every year. Government also mandates a number of safety standards in cars and limit the modification and type of engines that are "street legal."
NRA is actively arguing to make guns more dangerous and available to more people. They employ fear/scare tactics to promote the sell of arms/guns and then fight every effort to regulate guns and attack those who oppose them as tyrants and anti-liberty.
We have not even gotten to the ridiculousness of comparing the cost v benefit analysis of a car versus a gun in modern society.

This series of posts re: ? nothing has changed ? is very reminiscent of people dismissing news they don?t like as ?fake news? , a lasting legacy of 2016 campaign ...
And this is precisely why , even in February 2018, Sean Hannity is leading his show w a feature on Hillary Clinton , LOL !

Went back five recent pages worth of posts and stopped. Talk IRVINE has become Talk TRUMP or Talk ANTI TRUMP.
What a shame.
What a shame.

I'm as strong of a 2A Supporter as they come, and am happy that Dicks and WalMart took the steps that they did. I'd rather have a private company act than be compelled by government mandate. The problem here is that they may run into an age discrimination suit. OK to restrict sales if it's back by law, but not OK in other cases. Movie tickets come to mind as it's possible for a theater to restrict the sales of an NC-17 film to minors. We'll see.
How about a little gasoline on the fire? Did we know that The Tang Menace was a CCW holder? I didn't until today. All this rubbish about how President Tourette Syndrome was going to confiscate first, and due process second really doesn't seem to hold water. Methinks he was playing to the room.
