In 2010, the Supreme Court decided the Second Amendment applies to state and local governments, allowing states to enact more permissive gun laws.
Since then, there have been 6,000+ excess firearm deaths among children in states with the most permissive gun laws, according to a new study.

do you ever stare at the ceiling and think about how the worldwide scientific establishment did the impossible and created a COVID vaccine in under a year and the response of the general public has been to go on an unstoppable rampage to destroy science and scientists

This is beyond ableist and a disqualifying statement (amongst many).

This is what January 6th is:
I am enraged by the media, doctors, and politicians who are sane washing RFK Jr and claiming some common ground. Common ground only exists when there are genuinely good intentions, but anti science grifters are not presenting good faith arguments. There is no common ground, only a slippery slope.
