by Bob Hubbard • • 1 Comment
I’m in favor of -sensible- laws. Not “feel good” flawed laws rushed through in a panic for political purposes that don’t do anything but diminish rights. Here’s my idea: Fast Universal Background checks for all sales. A nominal fee of…
Take Radical Steps to Stop Losing Ground
