The first idea strikes me as punitive, not productive. No reason to tax a pistol a rape survivor carries or a rifle someone uses to hunt, you know what I mean?

Ban guns. Pretty simple. People with a hunting permit can have a rifle, provided they submit to background checks and mental health assessments. Considerably more lax than most developed countries gun policy.

Trump was able to win the primaries by claiming he wouldn’t be tied to monied interests.

You watch football? Buy anybody a diamond ever? Eat pork?

If someone asks for a stunt driver for a fast driving scene and you say no... and then they crash... I mean, is this really that difficult to understand? I like his movies too, but sounds like he is an ass-face. Sorry if you’re one of those who doesn’t let reality get in the way of your preferred world view. Next time…

I like all his movies, to degrees varying from a bit to the most, but it sounds like he is an ass-face.

If the food is spicy enough, it is spicy twice :(

Now, if you are a county sheriff mindful of your budget...

That “fact” is a naming error. There is no agency that would be mistaken due to said naming error. Therefore, it is helpful, but immaterial.

Actually when a federal judge blocked an immigration order from the POTUS last spring, the ICE agency ignored the law and obeyed the President.
