Comments

Sean Welliver writes:

Disarming day home operators, by having onerous State regulations, is another example of legislators' idealism creating another victim-ripe environment for perpetrators. I am fairly certain that senators, delegates, nor police will be present to oppose offenders, perpetrators, and invaders. Focus on disarming criminals, border security and invader-preclusion, and removing this tyrannical governor and legislative domination. Save unborn -- and born -- children from legislatively-permitted murder.
