We need to arm the cashiers at Safeway so they can protect the customers.
Armed drones in every classroom, patrolling every hallway, every aisle in Safeway. An overwhelming fire power response at the first sign of "trouble." If it works on the "battlefield" it should be good enough to protect our kids. Ideally, every student would have their own personal protective drones. The more drones we have the safer we will be.

Re: Today's carry package:
Laws of any kind only effect what law abiding people do. Lawless people don't care what the law is.
Yep, that's why we don't even bother with laws against murder. Lawless people don't care that murder is against the law.
Laws are not just about preventing crimes, they also allow law breakers to be held accountable for their behavior by society when they are caught.
You guys always whine that if a proposal does not solve every problem it cannot solve any problems. Well, Fuck you!

Re: Today's carry package:
The government says we can't control what a person does in their bedroom
Actually, The People told the government, before the Supreme Court, that laws prohibiting certain sexual behavior between consenting adults in their own bedrooms were unconstitutional and The People won.

Re: When is enough enough?
The GOP cheers for any opportunity to remind those idiots that Joe Biden is coming for their guns. Abbott has done it several times already today.

Ghost guns are never legal.
One thing I have noticed here in Oregon as well as elsewhere around the country are sheriffs and police chiefs publicly stating that they will not enforce any gun laws they personally disagree with. We voted against the asshole sheriff in our county for that very reason, and we will vote against every single law enforcement tax levy as long as those shitheads are in office!

Re: Biden's speech
Or gave the Taliban the entire country of Afghanistan
I realize we spent trillions of dollars and 20 years fighting in Afghanistan, but I guess you didn't realize that the United States doesn't own it, so we couldn't "give" it to anyone. And that's exactly the same thing your asshole wanted to do with it, but with no preparation or planning at all.
Closing the pipeline had absolutely nothing to do with todays diesel and gasoline prices, and subsequent inflation
How could it, considering that it was going to carry Canadian oil owned by Canadian companies, headed to the Golf of Mexico to be loaded on tankers and shipped to none U.S. Canadian costumers? And it would not be carrying oil by now anyway.
I'm really going to be embarrassed this coming November after the elections.
I don't believe anything will ever embarrass you.

Re: Biden's speech
Trump's energy policies.
Trump never had any energy policies. He is a con man and he doesn't know jack fucking shit about any subject that he opened his mouth about. And you turned out to be just as ignorant about everything you say. You're bullshit peddlers.

Re: Biden's speech
Or maybe he did, but they were like all his other policies: exploitation for maximum profit no matter what the cost to future generations.
Yeah, fraud is his primary MO, but his primary goal was the dismantling of our governmental agencies, based on his appointees to run them, and suspension of the rule of law.
So far, it looks like he is the most successful conman in human history, considering the 70+ million size of the Trump Crime Cult.
