What are they afraid of? Freedom!?!?!?
The Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee passed bills to allow anyone over 18 who can legally carry a firearm to do so without a state permit.
Sheesh! Ridiculous!
It's bad enough right now that you cannot speak about wearing a mask to protect yourself from COVID-19 death. Now they want us to not speak to anyone about anything for fear they will pull out their gun and shoot us. Will we need to hire protection to save us from gun wielding freedom fighters? Freedom!?!?! Freedom to terrorize?
