Splitting hairs counselor...typical legalese bs, it doesn't say false, it says yet to be proved
Some of the dossier's allegations have been confirmed, while others have yet to be proved or disproved.[8][9] Some claims may require access to classified information for verification.[10] The media, intelligence community, as well as most experts have treated the dossier with caution, while Trump himself denounced the report as "fake news". In February 2017, some details related to conversations between foreign nationals were independently verified.[11]

Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott put his A-plus rating with the National Rifle Association at risk by signing into law gun regulations that give both sides some of what they want while also leaving everyone wanting more.
About the law
The law is called the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act. Here’s what it does:
Scott said he opposed parts of the law, including the new waiting period and the program to arm teachers. Still, he touted it as a good solution and a conversation-starter.
“I am going to do what I think are common sense solutions,” Scott said, according to The Washington Post. “I think this is the beginning. There is now going to be a real conversation about how we make our schools safe.”

Scott, who is eyeing a Senate bid against Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), criticized the federal government for failing to take any meaningful steps following the tragedy in Parkland.
“If you look at the federal government, nothing seems to have happened there,” Scott said. “You go elect people, you expect them to represent you, get things done.”
The governor’s support of the bill contrasts with his comments on the Second Amendment, made at the NRA Annual Meeting in April.
“We love tourists, new residents and the Second Amendment,” Scott said in April, according to The Washington Post. “What does ‘shall not’ infringe on the people’s right to bear arms mean? It means shall not infringe. It’s not really complicated.”
Criticism of the law
The law strikes a tenuous political middle ground, as Democrats and other gun control advocates would have preferred to see an assault weapons ban included, while many Republicans, the NRA and other gun rights advocates believe the restrictions in the law represent a violation of the Second Amendment.
The NRA attempted to mobilize citizens against the bill earlier in the week, according to the Los Angeles Times.
“YOU and every other law-abiding gun owner is being blamed for an atrocious act of premeditated murder,” wrote NRA lobbyist Marion Hammer on Tuesday. “Neither the 3-day waiting period on all rifles and shotguns, raising the age from 18 to 21 to buy any firearm, or the bump stock ban will have any effect on crime. Despite that fact, Senate leaders rammed through gun control as part of the bill.”
The Florida Education Association opposed the funding to arm teachers, which Scott allowed in the law despite having the ability to use a line-item veto to reject it.

About the law
The law is called the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act. Here’s what it does:
- Raises the minimum age for firearm purchases to 21 from 18
- Imposes a three-day waiting period for most gun purchases
- Bans the sale or possession of bump stocks
- Funds a program to allow some teachers and school staff to carry guns after 132 hours of firearm training and 12 hours of diversity training
- Makes it easier for law enforcement to temporarily seize guns and ammo from people with mental health issues
- Provides additional funding for mental health services
- Funds the destruction and rebuilding of Douglas High School’s freshman building
Scott said he opposed parts of the law, including the new waiting period and the program to arm teachers. Still, he touted it as a good solution and a conversation-starter.

I've got two bits on responding emojis. Two "dumbs", one "old" and 2-3 combinations of "check mark", "merit" and/or "funny."

I ran into a version of the neighbor lady over on facebook -
"You can't change the 2nd Amendment - it's part of the Bill of Rights."
<<Which are 10 Amendments. Do you know what "amendment" means?>>
"Once you amend something you can't just amend it back."
<<Look up the 21st Amendment.>>

I've already exposed the cowardly lion as a belligerent internet pussy when he talked tough and was sent my cell number and then moved the goal posts and started talking about posting info. publicly and me picking up the phone to arrange to drive to him to prove how tough he is. My work is done here.

I didn't talk tough about somebody's ass being stomped in person, I merely gave him the means to prove his tough talk.

. . . and lying eyes used the Trump method of saying that he wouldn't say that it's just what he's heard . . . people are saying, lots of them!
I hope these nutters in here don't truly represent the 22% that will cling to Trump no matter what, because these guys are certainly deranged, disturbed and in need of some serious clinical evaluation.
