Oh ok, so you'd be ok with politicians pushing for MORE restrictions on abortion because NARAL demonstrated outside the US Supreme Court. Cool, cool... |
SB16, the text of which effectively bans the most commonly owned types of rifles in the country. That's not "reasonable" or "common sense". It's extreme, in the extreme. |
You sound bigoted. |
Yes, the pro-gun-rights people are indeed very fine people. I'm not sure you can really say the same for those who oppose them, who would shred the Constitution they could, though. |
your president shits on it daily, so.... |
Is Lee's birthday of some special significance to you? Do you relate to random dates of random events based on their relevance to confederate generals? Because that's kinda weird. |
Please stay on topic. |
Damn, PP. If you’re going to attempt to apply some logic and wit, try not to do it when you’re absolutely stoned and drunk. It’s not a good luck to be so incoherent. |
Bunch of women-hating Republicans just did that. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/republican-senators-congressmen-ask-supreme-court-to-consider-overturning-roe-v-wade/ |
Yes. I have a feeling it's not random, because I am an old white person who remembers these things. I am in my 50s and am old enough to remember they had to make MLK day "Lee-Jackson-King Day" (1984-2000, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee%E2%80%93Jackson%E2%80%93King_Day), to get it passed, in VA. I worked in downtown Richmond at the time and the UDC ladies would come lay the wreaths down at their statues. So yes, having the protest on MLK day, who advocated non-violence, seems significant. Especially since it was Lee-Jackson-King Day to any (especially) white Virginian until 2000. |
Lee Jackson Day is a holiday in the commonwealth. I'm guessing you aren't a native? |
I’m guessing a lot of the folks coming to this protest for gun rights will not be native Virginians or even residents of the commonwealth. |
I'm guessing they are not a native, not familiar with long time VA politics, and are hoping they will be able to manipulate a bunch of people they consider rubes. |
Probably a simpler answer to this date. Many of these folks work and have this day off. Ever think of that? |
FEDERAL holiday by the way. |
