There’s “gun culture” everywhere. Think no one ever gets shot in Boston or New Haven or Berkeley?

I live outside Boston. People here aren’t gun nuts. We don’t glorify weapons. I didn’t say that “no one gets shot in Boston”.


So you're fine living in a place where people get shot. You just don't want anyone around you having open and honest discussions about owning, storing , and using guns safely and legally. Interesting.


Did the cops in Uvalde step up and use guns safely and legally when needed?

Kansas State University has a quite of few professors who attended Yale, Harvard, MITT, and University of Michigan.


Given the academia job market, even sub-flagship publics have tons of hypsm professors

Given Texas has Tony Timberholt the five times married pos who introduced legislation yearly for women to get the death penalty women to be treated like cattle or Paxton or Abbott no educated people are flocking to Texas


And no to plain states as well Oklahoma?? Hell no

The only women's health care she couldn't get would be an abortion after 6 weeks. She can always fly to a state that offers that, should the need arise.


Is that supposed to make me feel better?

I know it is niche, but OU is sought after for its dance program

Not sure what they mean by “gun culture” but I am happy my children all chose not to go to a school in a major city. They all seem to be having gun problems currently including Baltimore and DC.

As the Kate cox case proves, it isn’t about straight “I just don’t care to be pregnant” abortion.

And I don’t trust any of these states to care about the well being of my daughters in case of emergency.

It is not as easy as just flying out of state for most.

I think it should be Plains states, not plain states. University of Iowa is a Great Plains state school.
