Its looking increasingly likely Tester will hold on in Montana. The outstanding votes are mostly in places favorable to him.

Did you miss that big gun control package that Rick Scott signed? It's become the basis for anti-gun efforts across the whole country, including my very own state.

I looked at it. I don't support it but it doesn't seem that bad. There's not type of gun ban or anything. And politically it is understandable that Scott signed it in a state with such a large urban population.

DeSantis opposed it, and he's the new governor.

It started the whole "prevent people from buying guns until they're 21" thing which is just awful.

Tis a shame it actually happened and that shit started to spread >_>

Well, shitty, but I'm used to it, I'm sure you're thrilled by the misery of those "others" than you get to partake in the salt of tho.

Given your history of passive-aggressively rubbing in Republican advantages on this board the accusation of salt addiction is deliciously ironic.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

Wouldn't that be 53? They took 3 (Indiana, likely Florida, and Missouri), but also lost Nevada. Others are just them avoiding losses.

It was necessary. The Empire protects galactic stability and prosperity. The last thing we need to do is to wookiee this up by having the rebels overthrow Imperial success and return to the failed policies of the Republic.
