    The whole point is to prevent dangerous individuals from using these loopholes to buy guns.

    Dangerous individuals largely aren’t using this loophole to buy guns. That’s part of the problem.

    The only gun control that might have a chance at stopping gun crime is a total civilian ban and that requires an Amendment.


  • Impeachment is a political process with the ultimate result being removal from office.

    And potentially the removal of that person’s ability to ever run for office again.

    Impeachment and removal from office does not mean they would go to jail, it is not a criminal trial.

    Yes, that’s the design. Because it’s not an “impartial” process but a political one. And because only 40 or so people have been given that protection, it makes perfect sense.

    That’s an 8th grade understanding of the concept where you never learned anything after.

    The 8th grade understanding is the correct one. As confirmed by SCOTUS.

    Remember the DOJ reports to the President. A process where you’re either suppose to investigate your boss or investigate your Boss’s political allies/opponents would be way to open for abuse.

    Trump can be prosecuted for what he did before the Presidency (as is being done in New York) and for what he has and will do after the Presidency (should he run back J6 part deuce). But for crimes committed while President impeachment is counterbalance.
