06:24 < PigBot> Cambridge Analytica whistleblower Christopher Wylie appears before MPs - watch live (at www.youtube.com)
07:36 <@Corydon76> I wonder if the MPs might decide that Brexit isn't really what they want, and call for another referendum.

12:16 < aestetix> curious what you guys think of this

12:16 < PigBot> John Paul Stevens: Repeal the Second Amendment - The New York Times (at www.nytimes.com) http://tinyurl.com/y7y5jauf
12:20 <@Corydon76> He is correct that that is what would be necessary to get what the children marching on the national mall really want.
12:20 <@Corydon76> That said, it's not going to happen.
12:21 <@Corydon76> It's not even going to get to the point where states start to approve such an amendment, because they don't have the votes to even propose the amendment in the first place.
12:23 <@Corydon76> Two-thirds of Congress or two-thirds of state legislatures would need to either vote or organize a constitutional convention for that purpose.  Half of the states are opposed, without even considering swing states.
12:23 <@Corydon76> After the two-thirds, three-quarters of the state legislatures would need to approve the amendment.
12:23 <@Corydon76> Not going to happen.
12:25 <@_NSAKEY> Corydon76: Did you hear about Remington filing bankruptcy?
12:25 <@Corydon76> _NSAKEY: Yes, commented on it yesterday
12:26 <@Corydon76> Another victim of vulture capitalists, just like Toys'R'Us
12:26 <@_NSAKEY> Yeah, and there's also the fact that their sales were down, because we now have a Republican in office.
12:26 <@_NSAKEY> Combine that with the vultures, and you have a recipe for disaster.
12:27 <@Corydon76> They could have avoided bankruptcy were it not for the huge load of debt they were saddled with
12:27 <@Corydon76> Sales will always go up and down naturally.  And other gun makers are doing just fine with lower sales.
12:46 <@shapr> soon guns will only be imports
12:46 <@shapr> make america groan again
19:30 < aestetix> Corydon76: I was more curious about the principle of the matter
19:31 < aestetix> Stevens is not only a former supreme court justice, but a Republican (Nixon) appointed one.
21:49 < oddball> Remington is a victim of it's own sucking.
21:49 < oddball> And it's not filing for a "we're dead" bankruptcy.  It's for chapter 11.
21:51 < oddball> Remington has had several high profile QC issues in the past few years, and a couple high profile faulty designs... including a couple class action lawsuits as the result.
21:52 < oddball> They went from having what was considered the gold standard in both the bolt action rifle (Rem. 700) and pump action shotgun (Rem. 870) to folks considering anything with it's name garbage.
21:58 < oddball> aestetix: Stevens wrote both the dissents for the Heller vs DC and the McDonald vs Chicago cases.  He's anti-gun.  I'm mostly surprised that he's now admitting that the 2nd amendment actually applies to the individual.
