define "assault weapon"

A mythical weapon that the American public does not own. 

But I'm still not clear how anyone could get rid of guns when they don't know who has them, how many they have or where they are kept. 

Piggybacking here - did you guys hear about the 32 young black men killied on Monday in Illinois?  It wasn't ISIS or terrorism or cops shooting suspects. It was just young black men shooting other young black men on Independence Day. 

Where is the outrage?  The protests?  The hand wringing?  Nobody did this but the people involved.

The only "term limit" I support would be the "No Running For Office While You Hold Office"

I didn't say anything about term limits. 

The problem I see comes from political gerrymandering of congressional districts.  That means the race for most of the House seats are almost always decided in the primary of the dominant party for that district.  For example, the NC-4th where I used to live holds a D+20 rating on the Cook Partisan index.  Whoever gets nominated out of the Democrat primary will get elected in the general election.  Therefore, the candidate who wins will not be a centrist, they will be the one that is most appealing to Democrat primary voters.  Primary voters tend to be the most dedicated and the most radical, so they will elect someone they like - equally radical and dedicated.  Not to leave out Republicans, but the same thing happens on their side too, 10 of the 13 NC districts are solid Republican, the other 3 are even more solidly Democrat.  Out of 435 races for Congress, only about 50 can be called "competitive" and only about 20 of those are really toss ups.  The balance of power in the House was set by the Census and by the State legislatures, not by people's voting.

Therefore, you get fanatics in Congress, people who have no idea how to set aside one thing they want to get another thing they want more, such as a trade off of acknowledging the right of the States to arm their militias with ARs in exchange for tightening the controls on ho wand by whom the weapons can be purchased.  Or from the right's perspective, securing the right to own ARs in exchange for taking them away from terrorists and the mentally ill.

If I were the sole person in charge of it, I would require that every district in each state be politically balanced to within 1% except the last one.  But I'm not and I don't see that idea being agreed to by the people who draw the congressional districts. 

The Onion has a really tough go of it lately.  Hard to parody current events.

Yeah.  They've had a hard time lately competing with the real news.  What used to be absurd and satire is now actually true. 

The insider information is saying there will be no indictment.

What, are you surprised?  Obama's justice department was never going to indict Hillary as long as it benefited Obama.

Still waiting smart guy.  You are still just pointing at whites and saying "their fault". 

All you're convincing me of is that you just want to play victim.  We commonly condone lynching, castrating and burning people...right?  At least I do, do you? 

So to me, it's apparent that the problem is yours to solve at this point.  You don't get to have a toxic culture and then blame outsiders for that culture. 

They're interviewing Hillary.  Are they interviewing Lynch as well?  Seems to me that her little stunt of making contact with the target of an FBI investigation places her into the realm of interesting parties....

Remember the meaning of the term "Clintonian" - a technical truth used for the purpose of evasion.  But Hillary isn't nearly as good at it as Bill was.
