Don't you see.
You replied to Wiggo.

Wiggo was NOT the person you should have been replying too.

I made a post
Wiggo agreed with it
You replied to Wiggo's agreement, not to me.

Try using the KISS principle, failure to do so means the last word in that principle applies.

I posted:
Unfortunately. SCOTUS as recientely stated that the Right to Keep...

You replied

Ah SCOTUS.

The 1930s crime spree of the Prohibition era, which still summons images of outlaws outfitted with machine guns, prompted President Franklin Roosevelt to make gun control a feature of the New Deal. The NRA assisted Roosevelt in drafting the 1934 National Firearms Act and the 1938 Gun Control Act, the first federal gun control laws. These laws placed heavy taxes and regulation requirements on firearms that were associated with crime, such as machine guns, sawed-off shotguns and silencers. Gun sellers and owners were required to register with the federal government and felons were banned from owning weapons. Not only was the legislation unanimously upheld by the Supreme Court in 1939,...
What changed?

I replied:

Nothing.

Re: Handguns, non sawed off shotguns and semi automatic rifles.

As SCOTUS has recently stated...
Time you not only understand the written word but those you write as well.
If you fail to see what is written I have no desire to teach you..

Yet another mass shooting in the USA
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/deadly-shooting-downtown-puerto-rico-comerio/
Five people have been killed and one wounded in a shooting outside a bar in downtown Puerto Rico. Puerto Rican police said the incident occurred around midnight Saturday in the town of Comerio, about 19 miles (30 kilometers) southwest of San Juan.

Police said that witnesses saw a group of men pull up in a vehicle and begin firing at a crowd of people. Five men between the ages of 20 and 34 were killed, and a 17-year-old boy was wounded.

As far as I know Puerto Rico is not part of the US.
Not yet anyway.
And I guess they have different weapon laws there.

HAHAHAHA

Confirmation that you fail to read what is written

BTW: What questions are your referring to?

Please give the URL references regarding your statement.


Nuff said :-)

It is a US territory though.

It's starting to be complicated now:)
Gun laws in Puerto Rico regulate the sale, possession, and use of firearms and ammunition in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. As a commonwealth of the United States, Puerto Rico is subject to US federal laws and constitutional rulings.
But why are the Licensing_process different?
Individuals who wish to purchase a firearm to keep at home must be 21 years or older in Puerto Rico.
Why doesn't Puerto Ricans have the right to bear arms until they are 21 but Americans in many states have that right when 18 or more?
And for that matter, why does the states in the US have different minimum age to have the right of bear arms?
One constitution and 51 different applications...
Makes no sense at all.

Perhaps, but it was also Wiggo who asked the question.

Your attack against me that I didn't answer The Question is proven wrong.

Your use of referenced URL's, which you probably believed no one would read...

betreger... Nick is another confirmation of why I must quote entire posts.

The first link. I wrote directly to you.
The second link, Wiggo merely said "agree" to my post.
Third link, you replied to Wiggo.
Fourth link, I asked why you had replied to Wiggo, not me.

There is nowhere in there that Wiggo asked a question. If you think he did then it just shows how confused you really are.

In future read, then read again, and if necessary reply to the originator, one sentence/paragraph at a time. Preferably, as this is family friendly territory, in clear prose that an 11 year old can understand.

Negative.

Since Nick made assertians that I didn't reply to The Question. And after I, using his own referenced URL, showed his statement to be wrong.

Nick changed his wrongful assertion by stating I didn't attribute him.

If I didn't, using Nick's referenced URL, quote the entire answer to what was originally his question.

Sorry, silence in the face of false assertions, does not bode well for the integrity of these Forums.

Why did you reply to Wiggo?
Why did you reply to Wiggo's post, it was not necessary. In fact I took it as rudeness that you replied to him and not me.

You therefore insulted me and that is NOT acceptable.

Take more care in your replies in future.

Welcome to the USA.
Yes, the USA is composed of 51 Governments. With sometimes different and disparate laws, as long as they conform to our Constitution.

Maybe you should have 51 presidents then ruling the states in what to be The American Union and some federal government in Washington DC.
Hmm Sounds awfully familary:)

Yes, that was the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. Tossed it aside for the United States Constitution. Oh, you meant the EU.

The new "Trigger"

If the Mods do not have a problem, they control it, take it up with them.

Who wants to come in here and try to discuss anything.

All I see is how clever we can be and trash people and stay under the radar.

A lot like "Fight Club". You come here and just beat the crap out of each other.

Rules of Fight Club

1st RULE: You do not talk about FIGHT CLUB.
2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about FIGHT CLUB.
3rd RULE: If someone says "stop" or goes limp, taps out the fight is over.
4th RULE: Only two guys to a fight.
5th RULE: One fight at a time.
6th RULE: No shirts, no shoes.
7th RULE: Fights will go on as long as they have to.
8th RULE: If this is your first night at FIGHT CLUB, you HAVE to fight.

Wash, rinse, dry and repeat... har...

It's not the 1st time by far and won't be the last either (Alzheimer's for sure), but what did you expect?
