I’d start by removing any and all ordinances that interfere with the accurate collection of information about gun deaths, and then make accurate reporting by local police and authorities mandatory so that we can grt an accurate picture of what we’re looking at.
I assume that some of that 36% is because the perpetrator was never apprehended and it was impossible to identify the kind of weapon used, but that number still seems absurdly high.
Representative Lauren Boebert says she’s “back to work” after the nightmare date seen around the country. But her latest comments have raised more questions than they answered.
“All future date nights have been canceled, and I learned to check party affiliations before you go on a date,” Boebert jokingly told [TMZ]
In fact, let me answer all of The New Republic’s questions:
This was their first date? They seemed very comfortable with each other.
Her mom had Boebert as a teenager. Boebert dropped out of high school to have her first child…who knocked up his underage girlfriend making Boebert a grandmother at age 36. Not a lot of keeping-it-in-the-pants in that family.
Does Boebert vape near (and then tell off) pregnant women on all of her first dates?
You know she does.
How did their politics not come up beforehand?
Swiping right is not a political statement.
If Gallagher’s a Democrat, why would he go on a date with Boebert?
Things have changed. When the Second Amendment was ratified in 1791, eight years after the thirteen colonies gained independence from Great Britain in the Revolutionary War, there was no national military. That was why state militias played such a big role in the colonies winning the Revolutionary War. Now, they are rarely, if ever, called into action, and the United States has the largest, most powerful national military in the world. Think about how often National Guards are deployed today.
That’s why the Amendment reads “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
The fathers of the Constitution didn’t write the Second Amendment because of a desire to allow citizens to carry guns for personal protection/use. They wrote it that way because state militias were still the way to defend the country as a developing nation in 1791.
Everything you need to know about the Republicans vs Democrats. Bob Menendez is an obvious crook. The Democrats, fire this guy into the sun. The GOP when they have obvious crooks, head in the sand. It is disgusting. How are people still voting or supporting the GOP.
