—”So who is Julian?”
Not to worry.
Julian is Dan Rather’s son.
Fake but accurate.
:)
How true.
It’s those very same “great people” who continuously elect those very same “absolutely horrible, worthless politicians.”
“Sounds like NYS.”
Colorado. All unconstitutional and they know it.
As I wrote, someone gave an established source in the very next post.

They already moved much of their production to Tennessee years ago. The same goes for several other gun makers who have moved production and headquarters to the South to get away from the fanatical gun grabbers in the Northeast.

Those “wonderful” people, a majority, elected those lousy politicians, a majority of them anyway.
