Mixed Economy - in the U.S. of A.

This article on Investopedia focuses on the differences between socialism and communism, but it lays bare the reality that the United States has excepted elements of socialism as normal.

Democrats Go After Black Rifles - Again, and Again, and Again

Democrats repeatedly go after AR-style rifles. Why?

1. ARs look evil. They are dark, sinister, unnatural. 
2. They are easy targets, because they are less prevalent than other weapons. But of course, that is changing. 
3. Democrats can easily confuse fellow citizens by calling them: "assault weapons" and "military-style weapons."
4. Democrats lie about the weapons by overstating or mischaracterizing the capabilities of certain features, accessories, and the overall weapons. 
5. Democrats constantly call ARs inappropriate for sporting use, while they act like they are avid hunters. 
6. Democrats ignore that ARs are the exact military-style weapons that the founders of the United States and authors of our Constitution wanted civilians to possess. 
7. AND FINALLY Democrats exaggerate the impact illegal use of ARs has on us. For example, deaths from rifles in the USA is a small percentage of overall gun deaths. That makes gun deaths from ARs even less significant. Not to mention that all murders are NOT committed with guns in the USA.
