Wouldn't expect anything different from an uneducated narcissist.
As long as we're ragging on LeBron, how about flip-flopping on his views on the play-in tournament? He was championing that position just a little over a year ago. Strange how his opinion has changed. I'm certain it has nothing to do with the fact that LA might have to compete in the play-in games this year.
“Lebron is a sharp dude. He may not be educated in the traditional sense, but not everyone who is smart had to graduate from some great college. K spoke about him being really, really smart... the kind of guy who hears something once and can then hold onto it forever.”

It really is sad the depths that some people will go to defend complete strangers just because they align with them politically.
If they start making Pickles dangerous and I can’t get my crabby pretzels and Natty boh ima riot bruh.
From a Fox News article. :
“An official with the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Explosives (ATF) – the federal agency under the Department of Justice (DOJ) tasked with tracking and recovering trafficked weapons – told Fox News that “guns enter illegal commerce through one of three ways.”
The first is by private transactions in which guns bought at gun shows, flea markets or through private sales are later sold to prohibited persons.
The second, the official underscored, was by straw purchasers – individuals who buy guns from dealers and transfer them to prohibited persons.
The third category is theft from gun dealers and private citizens. Gun traffickers transfer guns from legal commerce to illegal commerce and are “considered to be violent criminals,” the official said.”
You see how that doesn’t count as citing a source, yes?

He's sharp if you're speaking about basketball intelligence. He can break down a play, remember where everyone was positioned, and exploit the opposing team. His competence as a player isn't something I would ever really question. His expertise stops at that level, though. He might be well-intentioned to some extent on secular issues, but still wildly misinformed.
The source is the ATF. Citing a source counts as citing a source. Now do some more homework to correct your out of context response. Look up illegal firearms used in violent crimes. You know, the type of illegal firearms we are talking about. Also, while you're at it, look up the percentages of illegal firearms used in violent crimes that originated from legally registered weapons.
Literally everything I’m reading says most guns originate from licensed dealers (the first legally registered owners of the firearms). Some come from theft, but that’s about 4th down the list of the most popular ways to get a gun.
Many come from straw sales, it seems. Many others are borrowed, gifted, or transferred in a private sale. The closest I could get to your 10% number is the number of criminals who obtained their gun in a retail sale. That’s not what we’re taking about, though. We’re talking about the origin of the guns. From what I’ve read, it appears most guns begin life legally. So it would stand to reason that laws and regulations could limit their availability, which would limit their availability to criminals.
The big problem is that there are already a few hundred million firearms in circulation. Limiting new guns hitting the market can only do so much. Getting guns back off the market would do the most good, but it’s a Herculean effort and unlikely to succeed.
No. You're trying to change the subject to fit your narrative. That's what liberals do. What WE'RE talking about is the shootings in Baltimore and Chicago. Kevin made a sarcastic, yet relevant statement and you tried to be witty. Not successfully btw. You want to twist the facts here. It's not working. But either way, carry on.
I could see Abe saying that. He was an honest man, after all.
"You four spread out along the perimeter and let me iso 1-on-1 at the top of the key." Brilliant! 😆
I’m not twisting anything, bud. I’m sorry your 10% stat didn’t work out for you.
Imagine guns being considered “beginning life” but a fetus not being one 😂

ATF officials say that only about 8% of the nation's 124,000 retail gun dealers sell the majority of handguns that are used in crimes. They conclude that these licensed retailers are part of a block of rogue entrepreneurs tempted by the big profits of gun trafficking. Cracking down on these dealers continues to be a priority for the ATF. What's needed, according to Wachtel, is better monitoring of the activities of legally licensed gun dealers. This means examining FFL paperwork to see where their guns are coming from, and making sure that those guns are being sold legally. But he says, "Let's be honest. If someone wants a gun, it's obvious the person will not have difficulty buying a gun, either legally or through the extensive United States black market."
^^^ That will always be the case, no matter what new laws and regulations are put in place.

My favorite part of these threads is the “I’m middle of the road guy” who clearly turn out to be “I’m Mr. partisan guy I just didn’t want to be labeled as such” pretty quickly. @RR30 had the honors of being that guy in this thread. Good times.
It reinforces that criminals don't obtain or use guns legally. Shocking, I know. So there are some "legal" dealers out there that are crooked and don't care about following rules when it comes to making money? Also shocking. The point remains, people that want guns will get guns regardless of any laws (again, shocking), just like they will get knives, poison, make pressure cooker bombs, run over people with vehicles, etc.
And the point I’m making is that we should make attempts to limit the availability of guns so that 60 years from now (cuz it’ll take a while) bad people who want guns won’t be able to get them easily.
Since most guns in the streets come from within, rather than from across the borders, that starts with stricter gun laws, among other things.
Seems reasonable enough, it has worked great against the war on drugs that started 50 years ago. Illegal drug dealing and use (including controlled substances) is almost unheard of now.
Who the fvck are you? Never seen you post before and I most certainly don't give two shits what you label me as.
Not upset at all, just confused why someone who I've not seen post on here is labeling people.
