I could be mistaken, but I believe somewhere in that “book” they seem to believe in so fervently, (and that Trump is "hawking for $59.95) there is reference to, " First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye…"
It’s way too early to speak of restriction on firearm ownership, but it’s never too early to talk of ways to get more guns into more homes – according to republicans…
It’s like their ridiculous arguments on “trickle-down” economics, which even their own leaders (George H.W. Bush) labeled as “voo-doo” economics at one time, their arguments that the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun was with a good guy with a gun – the FALLACY of that argument has been proven over and over and over again…
Their totally insane idea that, somehow, the constitution’s second amendment gives blanket permission for every American to carry a gun evidently CAN’T be questioned – unlike, say “Roe v Wade” – I once questioned Scalia at a republican breakfast event about that (yes, I’m that old) and his response to me was essentially to shut up about it – it was “settled law” – so “settled law” evidently ONLY works for republicans…
Actually, when my state (New Mexico) started making noise about banning plastic grocery bags, I simply went on the ‘net and ordered my own – I, too, use them for “poop patrol” and it was either that using trash bags – and they’re ALL too large for the purpose – I DO NOT FAULT our leaders from trying to reduce plastic use – after all – living in a rural area, I see plastic bags stuck in weeds, bushes and trees all the time, so I applaud the attempt, even if it WASN’T well thought out…
We keep hearing “Moscow Marjorie” railing AGAINST the political situation here in America – I suspect it’s because she’s not intelligent enough to realize this WOULD NOT BE PERMITTED under the type of government she is advocating for.
History is replete with people who’ve lost their heads – often quite literally – while supporting various “madmen” in their grab for power.
When you support a mentally “unbalanced” individual in any manner, it is quite often difficult to anticipate the many mood swings involved in his behavior – especially if his “belief system” is transactional in nature.
Very few, if any “Dynasties” survive much beyond the founders, because "greatness, like intelligence, is not an inheritable quality… Joseph Kennedy built his empire on serving the needs of the various “Speakeasys” in and around Boston and N.Y.C…. Young Joe, John, Robert and Theodore excelled in politics while standing on the shoulders of their father, and then it was downhill all the way – culminating in the “Wackadoodle” that is Robert Kennedy, Junior…
If you wish a more detailed picture of the state – read Mark Twain’s “Roughing It”, which was an autobiography delineating his trip out west with his older brother who was appointed a minor functionary in the Arizona territory, and young Sam went along for the ride, as the Mississippi River was closed to regular traffic for the duration of the War, so Sam travelled west and he penned his adventures in said book…
It should be pointed out that this “Law” was penned by a territorial governor appointed by the existing president at the time – no deliberative body wrote the law – it sprang ONLY from the head of as single individual at a time where half the state supported the “OWNING” of another person!
