You intolerant of New Yowkers brah?
I think that's actually part of the issue. New Yorkers are just a different breed of critter! They're brash, rude, and crude (like Trump) and they tend to tell you exactly what's on their mind (like Trump). They are also very independent, very proud of who they are, very friendly (in their own way), very compassionate when it is called for, and very capable.
When I drove a truck, believe it or not, this 'Bama boy used to look forward to going inside the city. It's a different world, and I always got a free meal. People would buy me dinner just to get to hear me talk!

I'd rather pick from a pool of candidates that most closely align to my views, than picking the lesser of two evils.
I'd rather vote directly on the issues than having to rely on a corruptable human to speak for me.

Might have been because you were in Jersey at the time. There's a bit of competition there.
Me, I never had that problem... of course, I'm not just Southern, I'm a redneck. We already spout back when we're challenged.

Yeah, but threatening to KILL people is a whole other kind of threat from threatening to fart in an elevator!
People generally tend to take those kinds of threats seriously.

First off I'm glad this crazy was arrested...however here's the rub...
Say this guy is a left wing crazy and he has guns...if we take his guns away we save lives, right? But we also violate the constitution. Which is the lesser of two evils?

Oh I agree. That's next level stuff and definitely warranted the legal response. He deserves what consequences may befall him.

If he is charged with a felony, he is no longer a law abiding citizen and revokes his right to own those guns.
It's common sense gun laws.

Wow, talk about a hypothetical! What if he grows talons and wings, how do we stop him then?
But, that aside, we do not take his guns away... because to do that, we also have to take away everyone else's guns, so there will be no one to stop him when he gets guns illegally and goes on his killing spree.

Guns rights > lives in your opinion.
