I knew the governor of Kentucky was an idiot but this is brain dead stupid...anti-vaxxer chuddy

http://www.newser.com/story/272848/governor-says-he-exposed-his-kids-to-chickenpox.html

quote:

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin says he deliberately exposed his children to chickenpox so they would catch the highly contagious disease and become immune. During an interview on Bowling Green radio station WKCT, Bevin said his children were "miserable for a few days" after contracting chickenpox but "they all turned out fine." "Every single one of my kids had the chickenpox," the Republican said. "They got the chickenpox on purpose because we found a neighbor that had it and I went and made sure every one of my kids was exposed to it, and they got it. They had it as children." Bevin and his wife, Glenna, have nine children, four adopted. They were all born after the chickenpox vaccine became available in 1995 and so-called "pox parties" became rare.

Public health authorities strongly discourage the practice of deliberately exposing children to chickenpox. It's "not an example for any of us," Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Nashville's Vanderbilt University Medical Center tells the AP. "We should vaccinate all our children. It's a great triumph of public health in the United States. Let's not take a step backward." Bevin said parents worried about chickenpox should have their children vaccinated. But he suggested that the government shouldn't mandate the vaccination. "In many instances, those vaccinations make great sense," he said. "But for some people, and for some parents, for some reason they choose otherwise." Kentucky requires that children entering kindergarten be vaccinated for chickenpox, but parents may seek religious exemptions or provide proof that a child already had the disease.

NZ death ferry from Wellington to Picton almost killed me. Probably had something to do with complimentary booze and food in the premium lounge.

10 children, what the gently caress? Does his wife do anything other than give birth?

E: 4 are adopted. Still, that is a lot.

New Zealand will ban military style semi-automatics and assault rifles and establish a nationwide buyback of the weapons in the wake of a terrorist attack on two mosques that left 50 people dead.
The ban takes immediate effect to prevent the stockpiling of weapons while the legislation is being drafted, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told reporters Thursday.

Are they banning all (1) semi autos including handguns and (2) assault rifles, or just (1) semi auto rifles?

And the spree killing is obviously going to skew the stats, but are the handful of other gun murders in NZ usually committed with handguns like the US?

And will owning the banned firearm after the buyback period ends also be illegal or will it be grandfathered?

Last I read is that banned firearms will need to be in the hands of class E license holders, otherwise it's super illegal. No grandfathering.

That won’t actually help as the sensors aren’t active until you’re airborne.

I've thought this since seeing that video of the DEA agent who shot himself in the leg in front of a class full of students while in the middle of saying he's the only one in the room qualified to handle any of the loaded firearms he brought into a school.
