Nobody gets robbed in my neighborhood of three houses...therefore NO ONE IN AMERICA SHOULD OWN GUNS BECAUSE CRIME ISN'T AN ISSUE
If you're not seeing fanatical COVID measures or the forcing hand of government, you are NOT paying attention to whats going on in the world and outside of Texas. At least, acknowledge that this is a blind spot for
your position. You don't even acknowledge the Executive EMERGENCY powers, which are Constitutionally illegal
What are other states (namely blue states) doing with regards to COVID? What does Australia or New Zealand look like now because of COVID hysteria?
THAT is what we're talking about.
Sorry you had to get the vaccine to keep your job.

Don't worry, I recall having these same discussions with people in 2005 about the Iraq invasion. Diehards still continued to insist there were WMDs there because that's what we were all sold from the start and no one questioned it
