It’s comforting to know that my governor will pray for me if I get shot by a crazy guy with a gun.
The shooter in Hesston was a convicted felon, he obtained guns illegally and was known to be unstable. How does the NRA become responsible for that? This was a terrible tragedy that should not have happened, but it was in no way the fault of the NRA.
People, would you please realize that stricter gun laws will do nothing to stop crazy criminals from getting guns? Instead of blaming guns, maybe we should stop serving warrants and restraining orders at workplaces, putting innocent people at risk from these nut jobs.
After an atrocity such as happened in Hesston, it might be wise to examine the shooter’s brain for growths, poisoning, concussions, etc. The patterns that emerge could help us prevent more mass killings.
Every week we see more FBI evidence of Hillary Clinton’s jeopardizing our national security, not telling the truth and getting millions of dollars from foreign countries. Why would someone want to hire her to run this country?
I’m in my 80s and sad. I have let down the generations following me. I hoped I could leave them a better choice than between a blowhard buffoon and a lying loser under FBI investigation. It looks like our 250-year experiment is coming to an end.
Who is going to vote for Donald Trump? He’s already alienated the pope (i.e., Catholics), Mexicans/Hispanics, women, moderates, Muslims, blacks, poor people and many others.
We can hope the 39 percent of undecided Kansas Republican voters will dump Trump. Surely they will see beyond walls and waterboarding, and realize the election is not a TV show.
At a sad and paltry 2 percent, the gross domestic product growth Obama is bragging about has nothing in it for the American middle class.
“Obama’s dismal economy”? Since 2009 the USA has experienced positive economic growth ranging between 2.9 and 4.5 percent. Do your research before you stick your foot in your mouth. Facts don’t care about your politics.
I see there is an Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards show. Someone please define what diversity means.
Does the Kansas Aviation Museum get contributions from our aviation manufacturers? What it owes, and its losses, seem relatively small.
