Respectfully disagree on gun control. In the past few years we’ve seen things like constitutional carry, legalized bump stocks, legalized sawed-off shotguns, teachers carrying while on the job, gun-buyback bans, stand-your-ground laws being unequally applied to minorities, and probably a slew of other things I don’t know about. The problem, as usual, is the messaging. The GOP has been talking about gun confiscation for decades and it hasn’t happened anywhere. They talk about a “mental health crisis” but do basically nothing about that and even make it worse (pretty sure TX also is making it harder to confiscate an individuals guns for “red flags”).
Im not saying throw it out. Im saying if you don’t have education, healthcare, etc that its basically a side issue at that point because everything is so bad. We are waaaayyyy behind. Its like working on airbags when you don’t have seatbelts.
