Ganny is right - "jihadist is neither left nor right. It's very much outside of the US political spectrum."

Jihadists are interesting - they're more likely to be defended by the left but ideologically/philosophically they have more in common with the right (subservient roles for women, belief in the righteousness of their religion and willingness to force it on others).

Regardless, even if you add the left and jihadists together they're less than or equal to the rightists when it comes to political violence until 2025 when rightist violence dropped significantly (I wonder why and I wonder what the numbers would look like if ICE/CBP violence was included with the rightists in 2025).
And I wonder what the #s would look like if you included the illegal aliens violence with the left in 2025. After all that is a product of the left, and they love defending criminal illegal aliens.
It probably doesn't qualify as political violence while the murders of Pretti and Good could definitely be classified as political violence.

Keep trying to deflect attention from the reality that political violence by the right > political violence by the left.

Keep trying to deflect that ALL violence by the Left > all violence by the right.

That's another MAQA HOAX.

The data says otherwise.

WRONG.

Go look at the FBI yearly UCR violent crime stats by race.
Then look at voting data by race.

Voting not an enumerated Constitutional right. The right to keep and bear arms is.

How about all states forced to accept CCW from other states. If all states have to accept DL‘s from issued by other states for identification and driving (not a constitutional right) why shouldn‘t every state have to accept a CCW issued by other states for concealed carry (is a constitutional right)?

Since the 2030 election thread doesn‘t (and shouldn’t) exist for another 2.7 years (Nov 2028 ish). Could also put in all things CA thread.

Concealed carry is not explicitly enumerated in the U.S. Constitution, and while the Supreme Court confirmed the right extends outside the home, it also acknowledged that states can reasonably regulate the manner of carry so tough.

And if I've learned one thing from the trump regime and MAQA yahoos, it's that the Constitution is open for interpretation and doesn't always have to be followed.

If a state has to honor drivers licenses issued in other states (Full Faith and Credit Clause), and marriages licenses issued in other states (Full Faith and Credit), why shouldn‘t states have to honor CCWs issued in other states under Full Faith and Credit?

If the Constitution was applied, certainly buying a firearm should be no more difficult than voting If you don‘t have to show an ID to vote, why should you have to show an ID to buy a firearm?

Certainly voting should be no more difficult than buying a firearm - If you have to show an ID proving citizenship to vote, you should have to show an ID proving citizenship to buy a firearm.

Yet right now voting isn‘t nearly as difficult.

If you have to go through a background check to buy a firearm, then you should have to go through one to vote.
Or conversely if you don‘t have to go through a background check to vote, then you shouldn‘t have to to buy a firearm.

And what about the gunowners registry and list? Let's apply everything in the SAVE Act to gun ownership. States should be able to keep their own lists.
