A number of deaths that exactly equals the number of names on NRA membership roster should be more or less sufficient to justify more limits on 2nd amendment.

Now they want a war with Mexico
Quote:Declaring war on Mexican cartels moves into GOP mainstream
Leading Republicans across the ideological spectrum are rallying behind an aggressive and controversial new approach to the fentanyl crisis: Bomb the cartels, with or without the permission of the Mexican government.
The once-fringe idea, championed in private by former President Trump, is becoming a mainstream policy priority within the GOP — including among congressional Republicans and 2024 presidential candidates.
As he develops his platform for a potential second term, Trump and his advisers have discussed options for military action against the cartels that include unilateral strikes and deploying troops on Mexican soil.
Two other GOP candidates currently in the race have laid out similar proposals in recent weeks:
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who visited the border Monday, has called for sending U.S. special forces into Mexico to attack the cartels "just like we dealt with ISIS," adding: "You tell the Mexican president, either you do it or we do it."
"Biden sits in the White House and watches the fentanyl crisis like he’s a bystander. I’ll use our military to annihilate the cartels," Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy tweeted.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said recently: "I can’t understand why we’re fighting a war in Ukraine, and we’re not bombing the Mexican cartels who are poisoning Americans every single day."
Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) grilled Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas at a hearing last week on why the U.S. is not doing more to destroy the cartels: "Quite frankly, we need to take the gloves off. They’re at war with us, we need to be at war with them."
The paper that proposes a formal declaration of war against the cartels was written by former Trump immigration official Ken Cuccinelli, who now leads a super PAC dedicated to supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' potential presidential campaign.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

On the subject of idiots, Lauren Boebert has claimed that the US Declaration of Independence includes personal property among the inalienable rights, 'depending on which version you want to go by'.
I was unaware than there are different versions of the Declaration.

there is one version that exist in reality, and unknown, but certainly varying, number of different versions that exist in what can euphemistically be called imagination

Not only are they idiots but they want everyone to be an idiot.
Missouri House Republicans vote to defund libraries
Missouri House Republicans voted to defund all of the state’s public libraries, in a proposed $45.6 billion state budget that will soon move to a vote in the GOP-controlled state Senate.
Gov. Mike Parson ® proposed last January, cutting not only the $4.5 million Parson had slated for libraries, but also costs for diversity initiatives, childcare and pre-kindergarten programs.
Missouri House budget committee leader Rep. Cody Smith (R-Carthage) proposed cutting library aid due to a recent lawsuit filed against the state last February.
The lawsuit — filed by the ACLU of Missouri on behalf of the Missouri Association of School Librarians and the Missouri Library Association — seeks to declare Senate Bill 775 unconstitutional, a bill that has resulted in over 300 books getting banned from school libraries, many of which include LGBTQ characters or racial justice themes.
