That would be true if people posting here were representative. They're not. Most people dont follow the news, and gerrymandered districts mean it'll take a lot to change things.

The whole point of science is that the conclusions depend on the evidence, not what the politicians want. When you do it the other way around, you get nonsense like Lysenkoism which deny you the technical advantages of having an accurate understanding of the world.

Its not just about suicide. People kill family members, have a kid who becomes depressed, etc. Its not just the gun owner who is at increased risk. You're much more likely to do something dumb like shoot an "intruder" who is actually your spouse getting a midnight snack than somebody who is out to get you.

There is something to be said for communal mutual defense, but its simply not worthwhile for most people to keep a gun and ammo at home for self defense on pure safety grounds.

Its a very detailed plan for the Trump administration to follow to implement their vision of fascism. And yes, it is public

When I was canvassing during the election, people would tell me that Project 2025 didn't matter because Trump disavowed it. This is for people like you to show people who believed that.

The problem is that the Sacramento area is subect to very infrequent but really intense flooding, with the last episode being December 1860-January 1861. So recent memory and trends are a terrible predictor of what will happen.
