Not to mention that under US law black powder guns are not legally considered firearms.
While that's technically a loophole, it's left in place to allow poor people in rural areas to supplement their food budget with hunting even if they have a felony conviction.
Most municipalities have a non-emergency line to handle things like this. Road obstructions, noise complaints, and the like may well be handled by 911 operators, but calls to the non-emergency line are handled as the lowest priority.
Parent here. It's always the parents. The biggest problems with young people are typically caused by lack of parental involvement and are next to impossible for schools or society at large to solve.
The catch is that any public figure or institution saying that out loud is more or less committing suicide. Just like I'm about to be roasted alive on here for saying it.
Shitty, inattentive parents do not want to hear that they need to do better. Parents who didn't plan ahead and just shove their kid in daycare don't want to hear that they should have moved to a cheaper metropolitan area so they could work less and spend more time raising their kids. Parents who went off half cocked and had kids in unstable relationships don't want to hear that they shouldn't have done that knowing they wouldn't be able to stay together in the long term.
Nobody is allowed to say that out loud, you have to read between the lines.
Yep. There was no need add that qualification because a conviction should drive voters away, but here we are.
This whole thing says more about the quality of candidates than the system, though. The fact that I can say "he's demented" and you don't know who I'm referring to shows that the political establishment has its collective head up its ass.
Or it could be the thousands of grape vines planted on the hill...
