Had an interview this morning. 80 yr company owner who's been running this same biz for 47 years. First thing I noticed when walking into his office...gun safe right behind his elbow. I usually try to stay out of political conversation at work, especially during an interview. But it took less than 5 minutes for him to broach the subject. Total conservative sweep across the board. It was amazing! I start on Monday. Congrats on your new job Rockhopper!!! Best wishes to your future success in your new endeavor!!!

Just an FYI.

Encouraging news about waning support for new gun control measures, particularly among the younger generation and the Hispanic population. Perhaps there is some hope for our republic after all. I am thinking that the Democrat sponsored and abetted urban violence combined with the recent public gun buying spree is starting to move the needle in a favorable direction against new gun control measures. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/05/09/nolte-support-for-gun-control-plummets-with-young-people-hispanics/Hoping that our Hypocrit In Chief can choke on this news. Damn bastard is protected by Secret Service armed to the teeth with the very weapons he would deny to us as civilians, all the while his own political party is promoting political violence across the country in furtherance of their politicial objectives.
