Candidates, Looking to Soften Their Image, Turn to Their Wives,” which reported how “male Republicans struggling to appeal to female voters concerned about their records on reproductive rights are unleashing their spouses to make the pitch on their behalf.” > > However Anderson, who is childless, engaged to be married and lives alone with his dog, sought to borrow the wife and children from a longtime friend in an apparent effort to appear as a family man. > > --- > > 🗳️ Register to vote: https://vote.gov/

    President Biden and Vice President Harris Announce Additional Actions to Reduce Gun Violence and Save Lives.
  • In my opinion no one should have the right to own a firearm. But since that’s impossible in america, I’m all for restricting it.

    I’m not allowed to purchase a firearm in my country because I have a disability that often causes fainting and seizures.

  • President Biden and Vice President Harris Announce Additional Actions to Reduce Gun Violence and Save Lives.
  • If I have to live somewhere where people can own deadly weapons. It absolutely is in the public interest to try and minimise the chances of something going wrong.

    Health records are checked when applying for social security, for immigration, for insurance. I don’t necessarily agree with the fact they are for these things. But in my ideal world. The public’s right to safety comes before the right of someone to own a deadly weapon. And if they are going to do a background check they might aswell check for conditions which increase risk of fatal firearm use.
