People talk about see something say something, but everyone knew the kid was a time bomb. He legally owned the assault rifle and all the social media scary shit photos and talk wasn't illegal. He was expelled from school for his violence, yet he was able to walk into the school with smoke bombs, a gas mask, and assault rifle.

I wish you all could take advantage of the glorious distraction that is the conversation on my local NextDoor site, started with a simple question: "Is fluoride bad?"

That's what I found so frustrating about the bump-stocks. We can't even outlaw something that exists solely to get around existing laws? It's not I think outlawing bump-stocks is going to save a bunch of lives, it's just such a low bar and even that is too much.
