The guy whose SoS address I watched yesterday, where he talked about how he was going to confiscate guns from those “not responsible enough” to own them?

That guy?

Don’t wish anyone bad. But then...there are people whose own attitudes lead to things...

Funny how the ones who’ve been causing us pain have been having accidents lately. If something happens to Pelosi I might want to start marking the calendar and start checking the skies more often...
