  on Jun 22, 2016 in America Constitution Crime Donald Trump Gun Control Guns President Presidential Elections Second Amendment United States Violence
  I’ve really struggled with the timing of this article. I was prepared to write it before the Orlando murders, but the rhetorical and political fallout caused me to pause. Typically after a situation like Orlando anger-filled hatred is spewed across...
