In the midst of a chaotic shooting spree inside a mall, 19-year-old Martinez Long pulled his own firearm and shot the gunman.
Now he faces two years of probation and a criminal record. Why?
He was too young to legally possess a carry permit, so they threw him in jail.
The judge even bizarrely asked, “What do you need a gun for protection in a mall in the first place?”
...after he stopped a gunman with his.
This is the idiocy of banning firearms for those under 21, and of the entire concept of carry permits in general.
Potentially many more people could have died if Martinez had not stepped in, and for his actions, he is being punished.
The reason government programs are so inefficient is that, unlike a commercial company, the feedback loop for improvement is broken, because they have a state-mandated monopoly and can’t go out of business if customers are unhappy.
No matter how bad the service is at your DMV (sorry to pick on DMVs), you still have to use your DMV, because it’s a monopoly.
The government is shutdown, but the House refuses to go back in session.
Why are we in recess?
Because the day we go back into session, I have 218 votes for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.
@SpeakerJohnson doesn’t want that to be the news.
Survivors at our press conference announced they are privately compiling their own Epstein list.
They would be sued into homelessness for naming names, but @RepMTG and I are willing to name names in the House of Representatives under Constitutional “speech or debate” immunity.
@TheDreambadger @elonmusk@SciGuySpace This guy just invented having more than one ship, but downgraded them to not being rapidly reusable for some reason.
@CptAncapistan@razorfist "Deals in absolutes" is clearly supposed to mean something akin to "negotiates with deadly ultimatums," rather than "ever uses phrases that aren't inherently subjective."
>The list will be out very soon, and it will show that Epstein didn’t work alone
>Wait no, there is no Epstein list
>Actually, the Epstein List was created by Obama
