Is that the guy you are mentioning?

Luckily, we now have a president, who doesn’t respond to this sort of blackmail.

It’s just too bad Al Hoffman Jr. wasn’t at the high school in Parkland last week. I’d been in favor of his taking some deserving young person’s place.

globalism is a word I constantly see, but is almost never defined.

soooo, what is globalism, and how is GWB a globalist?

I’m honestly curious.

As always ; Assault weapons ARE already banned (without a long and expensive government licensing hassle)

What they actually want banned are sporting and defensive arms that are merely STYLED like the ‘assault weapons’ that they so fear.

Sans-borders.

Transnational interests that glide around the globe like it is greased in oil.

No loyalties to a country, heritage, or creed.

Sameness.

‘Fairness’

Hey, Al, the Democrat Party is broke and would be more than happy to help you get AWB2.

Go for it, Al!
