    Do you think the people suggesting these laws care or are even aware?

    They are weaponizing bigotry regardless of facts and it is working.

    I live in a pretty nice neighborhood and my next door neighbor is ridiculously afraid of mexican gangs raiding his house. There isn’t a mexican gang within 70 miles of us, but fox n00z has him convinced brown people are coming to rape his guns and steal his wimmins at any moment.

    Oh and he also has early stage dementia and angrily refuses to give up the key to his gun cabinet.

    Such a lovely combo…

      I agree that there is a significant subset of Americans that are lost and can’t be fixed. But there are at least some that are still open to reason and facts. That’s who we have to focus on to negate the divisive social and MSM machine.

        I agree, there are some very good hearted people in this nation.

        And they have a massive disadvantage when competing politically with people who break the rules with zero consequences.
