this may not be the proper place to ask, but itâs on-topic, i think: iâm looking for ideas for banners for the march on the 24th â anyone have good ideas for slogans? i was originally thinking iâd like to stay on the theme of the Stoneman high school studentsâ speech, calling bullshit on things (the NRA is BULLSHIT, etc.), but iâm open to anything, really.
Is that constitutional? I mean the 1st Amendment is supposed to limit what the government can do about private actorsâ political speech.
In a rational world, I would think it would be pretty clearly unconstitutional, especially when some idiot is coming right out and saying that this is the reason. Unless there were some contract between the company and the state that made the tax cuts hinge on specific relationships (which in itself would be rather suspect, but could probably be done legally).
In the current political view of âweâre in power, so we should win on everythingâ, however, it seems like all bets are off. It doesnât help that this is about proposed new legislation⌠if they were trying to take away something that was already in place, it would probably be a clearer picture.
"Other Republicans in the State Legislature also on Monday pulled back their support for the bill, which would grant a $50 million sales tax exemption on jet fuel, primarily benefiting Delta. Among the new critics was the House speaker, David Ralston, who said on Monday that he was disappointed with Delta and wished it had announced the decision before the House approved the tax bill on Thursday.
Back to the status quo.
Iâm a âlots of ideasâ guy rather than a âgood ideasâ guy, so pick the ones you like:

Who do you believe?
The people who profit from gun sales?
Or the people dying because of them?
How about
âLike guns? Go to Syria!â
âAnother Good Guy Without a Gun.â
âThe Solution to the Problem of Gunsâ on one side
"Is not More Guns" on the other
Why not just start calling the NRA what it is? - A terrorist organisation.
Way to go Dickâs Sporting Goods too. Itâs clear to me you can still go there for all your duck hunting needs, but theyâre not going to sell anything any civilian would ever reasonably not want.
And thatâs what sensible gun control looks like.
When you live in a capitalist society, the mechanism for change has to come through what the for-profit businesses decide is good for business.
If enough large nationwide companies follow DICKâS lead, the boat will finally turn.
Letâs hope the red states donât threaten to raise their taxes, like theyâre trying to do to Delta.
Iâm sorry to say I have to put this somewhere between âyou meet my baseline standards, and for some reason this recently feels exceptionalâ and âfool me twice, shame on me.â
Maybe they learned their lesson (unless they have yet a third chain they can sell them in):
âModern sporting riflesâ indeed. Do you really need an assault rifle to take down a deer?
Of course not. Itâs possible to take a deer with a muzzle loader, and frankly if you are looking to eat the meat, you donât want to shred the thing beyond edibility.
Maybe an atlatl.
i love these! especially âWell Regulated, my assâ and âNot Relevant Anymore.â i also like âRepeal the 2ndâ, but iâm open to re-writing it so it makes sense in modern times.
and @RAvery, i also really like âAnother Good Guy w/o A Gunâ!
Iâd use âWithoutâ instead of âw/oâ â I think it would be more clear on a sign.
Good for you for choosing to protest!
oh yes, sorry â that was me being a lazy typist
