Would concealed carry reciprocity supporters apply the same standard to marijuana?

Gun supporters want concealed carry reciprocity. They want to be able to carry concealed weapons anywhere even if that’s illegal in the state they are in now. Would they apply the same principle to marijuana? I doubt it. I think they would have a double standard.

Question for concealed carry gun reciprocity supporters: Would you support reciprocity for marijuana? If marijuana was legal in my state, could I smoke it in yours even if it's not legal there?

Harry Smith – born 5/29/23

Harry Smith is best known for compiling the influential Anthology of American Folk Music which was originally released in 1952. It was released on 6 CDs in 1997 by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. It’s an amazing collection of all kinds of American music (including blues, folk, country, gospel, and Cajun) recorded in the 1920s and 1930s. Tribute concerts were held in 1997, 1999 and 2001. They’re all on CD and there are DVDs of the 1999/2001 ones in a set with the CDs.

A Perfect 10: I wrote about one of the best, earliest, + most important mixtapes ever made—Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music, 84 tracks of white-hot feeling, for Pitchfork's Sunday Review. @Marcissist says it's the longest P4K review ever? https://t.co/ilPdPvJtJN

While Harry Smith, born #OnThisDay in 1923, is most widely recognized for his preservation of American folk music, he was a polymath who had a multitude of interests, including a collection of hundreds of paper airplanes he found on streets of NYC over course of several decades https://t.co/KoihNzHS9e pic.twitter.com/5Njk4Sb186

The rise and fall of the waterbed

This reminded me of them. There was a waterbed store in Pittsburgh in the early 1970s called Wet Dream Waterbeds. They had to change it to Dream Waterbeds.

More on the racist Great Replacement Theory

This is now mainstream in the Republican Party.

"The refusal of many GOP leaders to condemn replacement theory even after the Buffalo shooting, and their determination to block greater law-enforcement scrutiny of violent white supremacists, underscores how far we are from that world." https://t.co/OrH7BDDBEs

The contents of the Buffalo manifesto are nothing new among 4chan-based extremists.

The Buffalo suspect was enraptured with the oldest of white supremacist and Nazi tropes: That Jews were sending in non-white immigrants to replace whites.

Terrorists who believe in the replacement theory have killed Jews, Muslims, Mexicans and Black people, all seen as "invaders" trying to replace white people. This is repeated almost daily on Tucker's show. Murdochs have blood on their hands which they wipe off with money.

Update on gerrymandering in Ohio

BREAKING: The Ohio Supreme Court has declared the most recent congressional map invalid, ordering a new map within 30 days.
— Susan Tebben (@susantebben) July 19, 2022

Republican federal judges are letting Ohio use a map that violates their state constitution.

This is a victory for Ohio’s Republicans and their strategy of simply gumming up the works long enough to find a federal court that was sick of the whole business and surrendered. https://t.co/bZEdR4Raxs
— Charles P. Pierce (@CharlesPPierce) June 2, 2022

The Ohio Supreme Court has a 4-3 Republican majority, and it was a rare moment of a GOP-led institution reining in some GOP norm erosion. But now a GOP-led federal court is making sure that doesn't happen. https://t.co/hNRqvjWE1n

Tweets on gun statistics

“Just 3% of American adults own a collective 133m firearms – half of America’s total gun stock. These owners have collections that range from eight to 140 guns, the 2015 study found. Their average collection: 17 guns each.”

Republican assault on public schools

They will use gun violence as a way to push homeschooling and subsidies for religious schools. These forms of education can be used to avoid teaching their children the truth about American history.

5/31; Also, pushing to get teachers to carry guns will reduce the amount of people who want to be teachers in public schools but that’s what they want.

6/2 Some Republicans attack public schools as “government schools”.

Americans are less confident in higher education than they were just a few years ago, according to a Gallup poll.

Just 36% of Americans say they have confidence in higher education, compared to 48% in 2018.https://t.co/RLVt8d4qaq

— Ulysses (@ReallyUlysses) May 27, 2022

I firmly believe these school shootings are a means to an end for the Republican war on public education. More parents will rightly feel the need to home school their children to keep them safe, which will further weaken our public education system. A win-win for the R’s.
