The NRA does not want you to know that a gun kept in the home is 43 times more likely to be involved in the death of a member of the household than to be used in self-defense.

Nikki Haley said, “I have always loved the Grammys, don’t ruin great music with trash.” Well, I have always loved America, but we now have an incompetent, despotic, kleptocratic man in the White House. Don’t ruin a great democracy with trash.
