If you don't like people defending themselves against plain clothed intruders with guns they legally bought, then maybe you need to revoke the 2A. Most cops don't need guns. Almost no normal civilians need guns. The entire develop

If it had any effect on covid-19, it'd be very obvious by now. There isn't some massive conspiracy here, it just doesn't work. The reason trials have stopped is because France, Italy, Belgium & the UK have seen worse outc

There's a very strict set of people that prescriptions are given to - i.e. not a routine treatment for viruses like this. There's a reason it's not licensed for viruses, and why only a tiny number of people take it, and there

The BBC isn't like Netflix - the license fee pays for TV infrastructure, public alerting, World Service, school revision programmes etc. - you just can't treat a public broadcaster like an opt-in service, it would cease to exist.
