Georgia Tech Senior becomes 3rd Yellow Jacket to win U.S. Amateur Golf Championship (Matt Kuchar – 1997, Bobby Jones – 1924, 1925, 1927, 1928, 1930)
Today’s supplemental list of links is dedicated to grammar nazis.
Of all of Trump’s hare-brained musings I don’t think buying Greenland would even make the top 25. I would much rather he focus on that than bombing Iran. We could even take this further, say reduce the “defense” budget by half and buy the Amazonian rain forest.
The focus on mental illness with respect to mass shootings is a second-string measure when healthcare isn’t a priority. Mentally ill people aren’t the cause of mass casualties. A gun culture and ready access to large magazines and rapid fire high powered firearms designed and manufactured to kill people are.
A 100% background check requirement is a tell with respect to the importance to an officeholder or candidate of reducing gun violence. Background check opponents just don’t think it’s important enough that people should have to be bothered with the responsibility for the disposition of their own firearms. Like gay marriage, covering pre-conditions and affordable health care, and a litany of other things going back decades, it’s not a problem until it directly affects them.
We’ll see how opposition to a 100% background check plays in GA-6. Brandon Beach opposes them. A change of position is welcome. I’ve certainly changed my mind on various matters over time.
