What Do You Need an ‘Assault Weapon’ For?

Chilling surveillance footage showed one of the club’s security guards – who appeared to be wearing body armor – calmly raising his weapon as he steps in front of cowering clubgoers diving to the ground below. [More]

We’ll never know how many future AI coders, particle physicists, and neurosurgeons are being lost, or worse, Democrats…
