    I especially hope they recorded the one when the Indian chick named Peggy called me and asked about my car warranty.

    So, do you believe that the government should be able to record and store your cellphone and email data, without a warrant?

    The Obozo administration took data collection to a whole ‘nother Level.

    I'm happy Trump shut the whole thing down

    And Trump continued that policy. But I don’t think anyone gives a Sheet about it in Washington outside of Rand Paul.

    He sure did, and I believe there will be a continuation into the foreseeable future regardless of which political party is in office.

    However, DC doesn’t hold a candle to the data harvested by the likes of Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and others.

    I attended a company sponsored seminar this past week, which also included a representative from the FBI.

    The FBI is concerned with the data collection from multiple foreign companies that manufacture home wireless routers, smart tv’s, cameras, and home assistance devices.

    Apparently these home network devices are listening, an that will be another source of data harvesting.

    I can choose to use any of those private companies’ services. If I don’t like that they collect my information, I won’t use them. The Feds monitoring everything we do is unconstitutional. Huge difference.

  • Maxine Waters on Obama’s database. . .

    Well, you know, I don’t know. And I think some people are missing something here. The president has put in place an organization that contains the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very, very powerful. That database will have information about everything on every individual in ways that it’s never been done before.

    Actually, and I'm being completely honest, I really don't care very much one way or the other. I guess it would have to depend on for what purpose?

    I assume in any instanced that it matters they are already doing it with impunity

  • If the Government wanted you do 'disappear' it wouldn't be hard for them to do it.  Just saying.

  • watched the third part of the Jason Bourne series...it occured to me that our gov

    is now actually resembling those dirtbags in the cia etc...in the movie.

    that is very bad.

    Real life, they are now trying to character assassinate anybody close to the president, to get the president.

    But at the same time you feel the 2nd Amendment gives you a legitimate chance of defending the company from this type of government? (At least, I thought that was your stance, I kind of forget. This just seemed like a good comment to jump in on).

    defending the company? maybe you should slow your beakness down and stop trying to look like a smartass birdbrain, woodpecker.

    you are, typical woodpecker, being really stupid. One person having a gun isn't going to fight the gov. A hundred million gun owners, in an extreme scenario - of course they could, given some far-fetched civil war kind of scenario.

    You ever watch a Jason Bourne movie? I'd say obamao, holder, lynch, comey, mueller, rosenstein, mccabe, etc could hire a small army of assassins like in the jb movie, and they wouldn't have a chance vs 100 million Americans with their guns.

       It sounds silly - but on principle, it is very serious. Countries around the world have fallen into fascim/genocide because they let themselves be unarmed. You don't know history, you don't know principles, and you don't know how to respond intelligently to any subject. You don't know your beak from a hole in the ground. Molt much, feathers4brains?

    Ignoring the very mature name-calling...

    Where did you get the 100 million number?

    Please expand of your... Ummm... Jason Bourne argument

  • wow. three lines.

    1. A picture is worth a thousand words. I picture you as a woodpecker. it fits.

    2. That is a general estimate. Far too low - nobody knows, because they aren't registered, never will be and it's nonya.

    Basically, from what they DO know from polls, whatever - in this case, it's about 130 million. My opinion, it can easily be twice that.

    3. Go watch the movies.

  • Where is the source for your general estimate?

    No, explain your "Jason Bourne" argument. Please. How does this movie reflect reality here?

  • http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/06/04/a-minority-of-americans-own-guns-but-just-how-many-is-unclear/

    So, there are roughly 325 million people in the US. Let's say conservatively, that 1/3 own guns, not going with the 37% for simplicity...that is over is 100 million.

    Which, is just a rough estimate. The true number of Americans who own guns - don't say they do for their stupid polls - is going to be far, far higher. I would never tell a poll I have guns. none of their business.

    That is why most Americans will never register their guns. The actual number could easily be 200 million. I just picked 100 million to be in the general guesstimate ballpark.

      You could look it up yourself, but you are a woodpecker. I'll explain after you go watch the movies. You aren't smart enough to understand even after that, but I would try to explain it then.

  • Except you cant just "say 1/3 own guns", because you have nothing to back that up. That 37% number is saying they own a gun OR someone in the household does. That's not 37% own guns. 

    Also, I believe that number refers to adults. Your 325 million number is everyone in the US. Different populations.

    You can't just say "well really it's much high, because... real America!" You don't get to just make up statistics as fact because you feel like they're true. 

    According to a quick Google, there are about 245 million adults in the US, and you're claiming,based on feelings, 200 million own guns. Really? You think about 80% of adults own guns? ......

    I can do numbers all day Cal

    Your refusal to expand on your genius "Jason Bourne" argument means you never had one to begin with or you're realizing how stupid it was to begin with...
