Careful who you claim is "one sided ignorant", Laws like the Dicky amendment are created to keep Americans ignorant about gun violence. Under funding the ATF and practically forcing them to keep paper records or no records at all is another way of taking the teeth out of any laws already enacted. yeah I know all about ignorance

Both of my girls have been shooting air rifles since 10 yr old and .22 and .410 since about 15 yr old. At 20 yr old they both occasionally join me at skeet with 20 ga. If you don't come to the table to discuss and craft sensible laws when the people demand them you will be force fed unreasonable and onerous laws.

If I recall the "science" for a long time was doctored by the cigarette companies to show no ill effects from smoking. In fact in the late 40's and early 50's some "doctors" even touted the benefits of smoking....

Democrats like everyone else are not perfect, and you made my point. Democrats are generally for small family farms and agri-businesses. Republicans generally are for larger (agri) corporations, In fact Republicans who HATE regulation have passed more regulations in the name of safety that thwart small farm growth or force small farms to deal through larger corporations to get product to market. At least this is what I am told by many small farms in Columbia county where I hunt,

Courtroom Cleared After Bundy Riles Gallery PORTLAND, Ore. (CN) — In an outburst that cleared the courtroom, jailed militiaman Ammon Bundy yelled to supporters that the federal judge in charge of his case wouldn't let him speak, moments after she denied his request to delay the start of his trial. Bundy, looking pale and thin after five months in jail and lacking the quiet vigor he exuded during the 41-day occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Eastern Oregon, has so far never spoken out of turn during proceedings leading to his Sept. 7 trial. http://www.courthousenews.com/2016/07/06/courtroom-cleared-after-bundy-riles-gallery.htm

Stomach turning report: The astounding quantities of water pollution coming from Smithfield Foods Let your lunch digest before reading the latest report from the folks at Environment North Carolina and Environment America: “Corporate Agribusiness and the Fouling of America’s Waterways.” Here’s one of the many revolting facts contained therein: According to the report, Smithfield Foods discharged 3.6 million tons of toxic pollutants from its hog slaughtering operation at Tar Heel, North Carolina into state waters in 2014. That’s more than 92 times (by weight) the amount of coal ash discharged in Duke Energy’s disastrous Dan River spill of February 2014. You read that right: 92 Dan River spills worth of animal-related waste in one year!

No, actually I'm from Red Hook Brooklyn, I only live on Long Island, my sentence so far has been 16 years hard labor in Suffolk. But I know the Duck farm you're speaking of, long before I moved to Long Island it was a recreation destination for me and my family, Through fishing and hunting (mostly rabbit) my family loved and cherished L.I. for it's bounty. Sadly it is often cheaper to prevent such pollution than to clean it up.

And in a related story: How Microbes and Wood Chips Could Reduce Water Pollution Beneath fields of corn and soybeans across the U.S. Midwest lies an unseen network of underground pipes. These systems, which are known as tile drainage networks, channel excess water out of soil and carry it to lakes, streams and rivers. There are over 38 million acres of tile drainage in the Corn Belt states. These networks play a vital role in farm production. They allow farmers to drive tractors into fields that would otherwise be too wet and make it possible to plant early in spring. And they boost crop growth and yield by preventing fields from becoming waterlogged. But drainage systems are also major contributors to water pollution. The water they remove from fields contains nitrogen, which comes both from organic matter in rich Midwestern soil and from fertilizer. This nitrogen over-fertilizes downstream water bodies, causing blooms of algae. When the algae die, bacteria decompose them, using oxygen in the water as fuel. http://time.com/4394619/water-pollution-microbes-wood/

Tyson’s Pollution Pathways: from Factory Farms to Fouled Waters With the passing of July 4th, summer is officially in high gear in America. Perhaps more than any other time of year, this is when we enjoy clean water — swimming at the beach, fishing in a creek, kayaking down a river, or sailing on a lake or bay. Unfortunately, corporate agribusiness is imposing a heavy - and growing - toll on America’s waterways. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,agriculture is the probable cause of polluting more than 145,000 miles of rivers and streams, along with over 1 million acres of lakes, bays, and more. Last year, the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico was the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined—the largest since 2002. And now, agribusiness is even threatening our drinking water - with incidents from Toledo to Des Moines, fromWisconsin to Washington State. How did we get to the point where companies selling us food are polluting our water? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-rumpler/tysons-pollution-pathways_b_10822108.html

No! But I have been pushed out of a perfectly good airplane!

Honestly you can't make this up! Malheur Defendants Want Facebook Evidence Thrown Out Of Court Ammon Bundy and his followers made regular updates to their social media accounts during the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Oregon. And law enforcement was closely monitoring those accounts that documented their activities. http://www.opb.org/news/series/burns-oregon-standoff-bundy-militia-news-updates/malheur-defendants-facebook-evidence-thrown-out/ Oregon Militant Leaders Unhappy With Jail Rules, Want Facebook “If they are going to detain us as innocent men, then they are obligated to afford us the rights to defend ourselves and emotionally connect to our families.” WASHINGTON — Ammon and Ryan Bundy, leaders of an armed occupation in Oregon earlier this year, are unhappy with the rules in their jail. The brothers have been in custody since their arrest in January. But at Multnomah County Detention Center, they’ve got demands: Ryan Bundy wants to see his brother. He feels his Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms has been violated. He doesn’t want people rifling through his stuff. Both have said they want access to the internet, including Facebook and email, in order to prepare their defense. They want chairs in their cells so they don’t have to kneel to write, a better computer, a cordless printer, a scanner, external hard drives and Microsoft Movie Editor. They also want to strategize with the other occupiers involved in the armed takeover of a federal wildlife refuge near Burns, Oregon, for which they face federal conspiracy and other charges. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ammon-ryan-bundy-jail-facebook-internet_us_5751a153e4b0eb20fa0dab02

Tesla driver dies in first fatal crash while using autopilot mode The first known death caused by a self-driving car was disclosed by Tesla Motorson Thursday evening, a development that is sure to cause consumers to second-guess the trust they put in the booming autonomous vehicle industry. The 7 May accident occurred in Williston, Florida, after the driver, Joshua Brown, 40, of Ohio put his Model S into Tesla’s autopilot mode, which is able to control the car during highway driving. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jun/30/tesla-autopilot-death-self-driving-car-elon-musk
