Imagine if the same burden were placed on the right to speak freely, or vote? You wouldn't be up in arms over it?

If you corrected for suicides and gang violence there is minimal actual gun violence in America as a whole, certainly if the type everyone talks about.

Be sure to remind the state legislature of this as they try to justify further firearm restrictions every legislative session; solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Push to boost RI minimum wage loses steam as public's interest is pulled to housing crisis by cowperthwaite

We wouldn't have to be of the legislature could go a single session without trying to attack gun rights.

I've already read all the proposed legislation in that area so far, but haven't seen anything to attack the housing crisis. Is it wrong of me to make note of that to the rest of the taxpayers and voters ITT so they k ow what they're wasting time on instead?

Dont worry, our esteemed state legislature will manage to raise taxes and further restrict gun rights in the state before the session is over, but do nothing about minimum wage or the housing crisis.

Though I think I saw a GOP proposal to drop the sales tax a bit at least, so there's that.

There's also r/RIguns for a more local take. I haven't seen much of a political split there other than the obvious anger and frustration with those in the statehouse in general.

Also better off just getting a NH license than a Utah one if your intention is to get a RI ccw, but of course get whatever level of training you need.

Reply to Mount Pleasant assistant principal requests donations from staff to student's 'coyote' by trabblepvd

>"We have a student who came to America with 'Coyote,' which is a group that helps people," read the email from Assistant Principal Stefani Harvey. "This group gives you a time frame to make a payment of $5,000 to those, who bring them to the states."

>The Department of Justice defines coyotes as "human smugglers."

The fucking disconnect and blissful ignorance these staff must live in behind their ivory towers. Coyotes are not good people. They are human traffickers, and harm people, not help them, often holding other family members hostage until payment is made.
