    They will never accomplish anything meaningful outside their coastal safe spaces if the first thing they do is climb on a hay bale and tell a bunch of gun owners “I don’t believe you have a right to that”.

    An “assault weapons ban” is a gun ban. It is taking guns away.

    End of the day, the person who is ambivalent or against having kids either exits the relationship of accepts children as the price for staying in the relationship. You don’t negotiate with the baby fever.

    If by “overdue” you mean “out of date”, because it was tried for an entire decade and had zero effect on violence including mass shootings. Columbine happened during the AWB ban era.

    These kids are gonna go back to school tomorrow, have a normal day of class, and none of them are going to die because Florida declined to ban barrel shrouds and shoulder things that go up.

    I guarantee that if I could grant your body swap wish, you would be just as miserable once the shine was off the apple.

    I can tell you’ve never spoken to someone with a true eating disorder
