  1. I sure hope that $5-million in our tax dollars will stop these out of control guns from sneaking out and night and running around shooting up the place. If not, we might have to spend another $5-million.

  2. “Democratic strategists and a group like Florida Rising, are saying that left-leaning voters stayed home during November’s elections” ……… But I thought they were saying that it was the largest Voter Turn Out on Record?

Jack Campbell needs to find out how many were in the crown, exact Number if possible and charge the shooter with that many counts of Attempted MURDER.
