So there are rumors circulating that Chaffetz's last day as a congressman will be tomorrow.

Only rumours at this point but I wonder what the hell would cause him to not seek reelection and resign three months into the current session.

There's good things but like with everything, the bad stands out more than the good. News is generally bad anyways, its what sells right. The anti-trump stuff is pretty circle jerky but I don't think there are many trump supporters cause even if you're a conservative, trump is a Bad Person.

Yeah. There's a certain forum about guns on here. I'm not going to import any dumbass cross-forum stuff, but there are certainly posters who were essentially happy with a gun friendly Supreme Court justice even if everything else was even worse than it actually is now.

here's some gun control poo poo we can debate

Some dude in Texas working EMS I know posted this:

Texas Senate endorses letting first responders carry guns

I think it's hilariously dumb. I just think of all the idiots in EMS, and the trigger happy dudes that want to play vigilante.

He referenced this:

4 firefighters shot, 2 killed at Webster, N.Y., fire

Truly unfortunate, but also extremely uncommon. Statistically speaking I'd say you are pretty safe. They going to run into a burning building with ammo and pistols strapped to their turnouts? EMS workers love to fantasize about the time that one ambulance in the company totally took pop shots in the 1992

Yeah the usual SOP is if the call involves anything remotely dangerous police briefly clear the scene before ems or fire rolls in.
