        I was just trying to provide additional information. The article title was ambiguous about if the law were designed to allow or deny guns in schools.

        I’ll be fair to him and assume he didn’t veto a pro-gun bill because he’s afraid for his personal safety.

          I want to believe he just couldn’t live with the blood of future children on his hands. I don’t know if that’s the case but that’s what I want to believe

            Apparently he could! I didn’t previously know this but it turns out that the President can do whatever they want and it’s not illegal

    I’d like to see somebody float a bill to allow firearms to be carried without restriction in the U.S. Senate and House. Not just the members, the people. After all, it’s the people’s house isn’t it MAGAts? Bunch of flaming hypocrites, it would never make it to the floor and you’d never hear about it.

      For the population of Wyoming, at least. Which is about a couple dozen people living in an area larger than the UK.

    Well I’m glad Mark Gordon did something respectable and decent, even if it was for the wrong reasons. He should have vetoed such a bill on the grounds of it being an immoral act of sickness to carry a weapon around like it was a toy, he should have vetoed it on grounds of caring about humanity, he should have vetoed it because people with guns are accidents looking for excuses to happen. We’ve seen that millions of times.

    I’m just glad for once that someone did something good when it comes to gun control, even if it had to be someone from the inhuman and execrable state of Wyoming.

    Tbh, I’m impressed. It doesn’t take a lot for certain politicians to impress me anymore.

      I’m just glad he did the right thing, but I’m unimpressed with his reasons for doing so. He never mentions the sick horror created by people with guns in the first place.

          Joe Biden is my top candidate and a person of far better reputation than most other human beings. My campaign contributions to him have been pretty enormous, and will help ensure a return of him to office. You are right, we do need more people like Biden in office.

              Of course you didn’t, because you’re a dumb c#nt and I couldn’t expect you to say anything decent. God will help us who are on Biden’s side, and shit like you will rot in hell where you belong (you’re already there dear, your brain is steeped in it).

              Oh and do have yourself a very nice day.

                Thanks for showing your true colors.

                ETA: if anyone doubts Biden is a fascist, as are his supporters, here is your proof of the average Biden voter.

                  In my view only fools believe in such nonsense and in any sort of religious ideology. Religion is utter nonsense invented to pervert the minds of three year olds and make them sorry if they misbehave or question authority.

                  Me, I’m all about speaking my mind and questioning and not just laying back accepting whatever I’m told. God is dead - it is the year One, and it’s time for Anti-christ itself to spring forth in all of its glory! And I will be there to usher it in.
