The Idaho House passed a bill Wednesday to ban the application of foreign law in Idaho courts. While the bill's text doesn't contain the word "Sharia," for the last three years its sponsor, Rep. Eric Redman, R-Athol, has introduced similar bills by warning of the encroachment of Sharia in courts around the United States.

Idaho courts do not apply Sharia. Not one instance has ever been documented. But Redman said that isn't a reason to oppose his bill.

"The whole purpose of it is that we will not have any foreign law defile our constitutional laws," Redman said on the House floor.

Redman pointed to a 2014 report, which he characterized as a "study" finding that U.S. judges opted to apply Sharia in one in five cases.

trump sat there and listened (or pretended to listen since his brain is incapable of absorbing information) to a number of school shooting survivors and parents of victims tell their stories and plead for gun reform.

then:

Trump: "If you had a teacher who was adept at firearms," that would end the attack "very quickly."

You can't have "100 security guards," he says, but you can give "a lot of people" guns - "they may be Marines.

this country cant destroy itself soon enough

I'm going to apply to Germany for political refugee status. If they refuse, surely Norway will let me in

gun and abortion debates are stupid....they have been had a million times over nothing is ever going to change and the same arguments get thrown around everytime

if people truly want sensible gun laws then you have to vote

What needs to happen is for the people receiving blood money from the gun lobby to lose some of their loved ones.  Even that won't change hearts and minds out there because omgsecondamendment.

The more publicity this movement gets the better. 99% of Americans - basically anyone who's not an NRA member - want stricter gun laws. The mid terms are coming up, children getting mass murdered isn't a right or a left issue. But at least one side is being seen as the good guys while the other side is taking money from the NRA and screaming about their 2nd amendment rights.

I'd like to punch everyone who says "what did Obama do about gun violence". If he merely mentioned a bump stock ban all you'd hear is DEY TOOK ER GUNZ!

he got murdered for saying those people cling to their guns (and religion) but he was supposed to get something done on it?

also theres plenty of cowardly democrats in the pockets of the nra...obama did everything he could after newtown and he couldnt even get his whole party on board much less the lunatics on the right

The only way I would have watched that "town hall" is if the kids were given guns on their way in.

he did have those first 2 years to try and do something but im guessing there were plenty of red state dems who wouldve refused to go along

the cnn thing last night was all well and good...the dude telling marco rubio he was a coward to his face got my meatcicle super hard....but none of this stuff matters unless progressive anti gun dems are elected.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this point but what a despicable pos

What many people don't understand, or don't want to understand, is that Wayne, Chris and the folks who work so hard at the @NRA are Great People and Great American Patriots. They love our Country and will do the right thing.                  MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

yep...apparently his handlers got a hold of him after the white house sit down yesterday & reminded him that his party is bought & paid for by the nra.
