Hilarious. And also telling. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez has been giving a whole 60 seconds for a pre-rerecorded spot at the upcoming Democrat National Convention. Can't risk having her go off-script or having too much time to say anything crazy.

Gun Permit Applications Backing Up, Process More Difficult in Cities Defunding Police

Posted by Mike LaChance on August 12, 2020 47 Comments

Gun sales are way up, across the country, for obvious reasons.
