Not dancing at all. I'm claiming that there is not a single gymnast who says Biles was wrong to do what she did. But you, a person who probably has no idea what it takes to be a gymnast, has decided you are worthy enough to judge her.
We are arguing over whether or not Trump is a gun grabber. I say he is because he classified bump stocks as guns (machine guns) and because no one is allowed to register them after 1986, they are contraband and must be destroyed or surrendered.
JoWilli, like some other people, denies that bump stocks are guns so that they can deny that Trump is a gun grabber. He even denies that there is a law/regulation that says bump stocks are machine guns. He wants the law to say that bump stocks turn rifles into machine guns, but the regulation does not say that at all.
So would you say that Trump is not a gun grabber?
Your point is that you want to know what the next in line to qualify would think; have you found out yet? If not, why not? Have any of Biles' peers said she did anything wrong?
If your point was that she should have sucked it up, then who are you to day?
So it was more important to the team that Bile continue to perform poorly instead of taking a break and letting someone else do it better than she was capable of at the time?
Who are these gymnasts who were performing with broken bones and concussions?
Wow, this has got to be the worst standard of beauty I have ever seen in print.
Because you are guessing and not making an informed opinion. So you think Biles should have competed even though her performance was suffering prior to pulling herself out of competition? Biles was replaced by Jade Cary and Jordan Chiles.
I think the only ones actually qualified to pass judgement on Biles for her actions are her teammates and coaches. So far they have not criticized Biles for her actions.
Why do you disagree with them? Are you better qualified than those on the gymnastics team to judge whether or not Biles could have performed well? Based on what you said above, I'm going to say no.
I say that the bump stock by itself is a machine gun; as does federal law. Trump directed that 27 CFR be amended to do so, making him a gun grabber.
JoWilli says "a bump stock is not a gun".
Notice the difference?
So you were happy with Trump's anti-gun agenda?
You still don't understand. The law says it is only the bump stock that is banned, not the rifle it is attached to. How was this ban accomplished? It was done by classifying the polymer bump stock, all by itself, as a contraband machine gun. Did you read the link to the CFR I posted?
Automatic weapons are entirely legal in the USA. You just need the routine ATF authorization to own them. However unlicensed civilians were banned from registering new ones by Reagan back in May 1986. This has greatly limited supply to those that were registered prior to that date.
Simply classifying a bump stock (just the bump stock) as a machine gun means no one can register it and this makes it illegal to possess. Trump did this so he did not have to go through Congress and so he could have them confiscated without compensation.
You can find them for sale to unlicensed people here; https://gunspot.com/test/sections/class_three/transferable_machine_guns/
Your ignorance of NFA gun control law is simply appalling.
Why don't you find out what her teammates think before you decide she did the wrong things?
It seems that actual athletes understand that Biles had issues she needed to deal with by not competing.

What makes you so knowledgeable about gymnastics that you know when they need a break or not?
So you're just ignoring the law then? You need to understand how the law works. Bump stocks are not the only things classified as firearms that do not actually shoot projectiles. Auto sears, silencers and silencer parts are also classified as firearms by federal law.
So why is bump stock possession illegal if they are not firearms? Can you explain that?
So your evidence for her doping is what exactly?
I read statements from her that explained why she did not compete for a while. I was not hearing complaining. Exactly what complaints did she make regarding her break from competition?
So? Why is that a problem? Mental health is not an issue in athletics? Based upon my experience it certainly is.
The regulation is here; https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-12-26/pdf/2018-27763.pdf
Do you actually believe there was no bump stock ban? The regulation says in part, "bump fire’’ stocks, slide-fire devices, and devices with certain similar characteristics—are ‘‘machineguns’’ What part of "bumps stocks are machine guns" do you not understand?
As head of the executive branch, the president is the one who has the final say in the rule making process such as in the Code of Federal Regulations. If Trump opposed the bump stock ban, then he would not have allowed the CFR to be amended to classify bump stocks as machine guns.
I'm not a Biden supporter and I'm much more pro-gun than Trump ever was. The universe is going to own you if you don't learn something about how the government works.
Biles is not the firsts gymnast to stop competing due to safety issues. Would you perform those kinds of stunts if you had the twisties?

Federal law says a bump stock is a gun. Trump says a bump stock is a gun. Is Trump wrong? Is Trump lying?
Tell me you are not one of those clowns who say that they alone define what a gun is, and not the federal government.
Anyone who folds like a lawn chair on our civil rights over the "outcry from the left" is not worthy of being president. This applies to Trump and all of the other bitches who don't give a damn about our rights.
Doesn't change the fact that Trump claims to have sexually assaulted women and is proud of it.
Why can't you be happy for Trump that he is so bold? Trump knows he is above the law seeing as how he is never really held accountable for his actions, yet.
I was not going for triggering the trolls here; it's kind of boring too.
A peaceful protest with deaths and property damage? You are the exact same kind of idiot who calls BLM and antifa riots, "peaceful protests".
