I pronounce the argument that Americans need guns to protect us from a tyrannical government officially dead. Kaput. We're living under a tyrannical government and the only people suffering from gun violence are innocent children and civilians. No one's using them against this government.

Not sure wtf we're doing but it definitely doesn't feel like winning.

“83% of Republicans gave Trump a positive approval rating, down 4 points from earlier this year,” Kamisar and Bowman
Domestic violence is a prevalent and many times preventable problem in our society!
However, it’s like women’s health and equality in the workplace, until we stop allowing law enforcement, politics and the medical profession to be male dominated these tragedies will continue to happen!
I bet its given Iran something to laugh about
I think it's time to cut ties with the UK. It's starting to go down the corrupt right-wing road financed by the US and Russia. Seems all the media is corrupt.

A repair voucher scheme would keep money in our pockets and goods out of landfill.
Similar schemes have already proven successful across Europe. It's time to deliver that same success in Scotland.
Let's demand better.
