It’s summer! I hope you have air conditioning. Every June, some northern friend of mine will post something on social media about how they don’t need air conditioning where they live, because just open a window and everything is so lovely, and I think, “Oh, honey. Bless your heart, you have no idea.”
- In Mexico, six civilians died in clashes between teachers and the police.
- A fascinating conversation between Cecile Richards and Barbara Bush.
- NRA VP Wayne LaPierre doesn’t think that guns and alcohol are a safe mix.
- In fact, NRA lobbyist Chris Cox went so far as to say that the idea of carrying a gun while drinking in a nightclub “defies common sense.”
- Which is so weird, because when HB 60 passed in 2014, making it legal in Georgia to carry a gun in bars (and churches, and public buildings, supermarkets, and many other places – there’s a reason it earned the “Guns Everywhere Bill” nickname), the NRA really wasn’t all that concerned about any risks from carrying a firearm while at a bar. What softened the NRA’s stance?
