    And these are the same people who demand that we surrender our liberty and property, specifically firearms and ammo, so that they can have their momentary warm fuzzy that they “made a difference” and “got something done.”

    What I find most repulsive are those Republicans and “Libertarians” who think that these people can be reasoned with and should be accommodated.

    This is a step in the right direction, for sure, as “civil asset forfeiture” is nothing more than a form of legalized robbery, just as with “tatxation” and “eminent domain.”

    I’m sure I can think of some people that should just use a real Tide pod for their drink. Then they can do a shot of Purple Power.

    Why is it that these school shootings don’t seem to happen much with private schools, or amongst homeschoolers much?

    If there were numerous shootings in private or homeschool settings, I would expect that the lamestream snoozemedia would be all over them, considering the way that they kiss the rear ends of the public-school admins and teachers unions in just about every other way.
