Not for me - I stopped doing attended sessions almost two decades ago. I could work anywhere on earth as long as there's a solid and fast internet connection.

Active shooter reported at Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas; multiple people injured
Multiple law enforcement agencies are responding to a active shooter reported at Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas. Police have just issued a mass casualty incident declared with reports that 3-4 people have been shot inside the food court with one reported dead.

This is my big complaint. If the laws on the books were vigorously enforced, I think the problems would lessen.
If having an armed populace was a deterrent to violent crime then shouldn't this country be the safest place on the planet? There are more guns than people in this country. Maybe part of the crime problem is the guns, or the ease of access to those guns.
Allowing the free movement of nearly any person armed with a deadly weapon that can be used in a second or less for any reason is recipe for disaster (laws don't stop illegal gun use, they just allow the punishment a small fraction of those caught using them illegally).
No matter how you read the 2nd Amendment, it does not say "every person can have a handgun, everywhere, all the time". The 2nd Amendment does interestingly start with the phrase, "A well regulated militia...", which should mean to any non-profiteering gun society that we need a well regulated system for arms. But, apparently not enough folks in the legistlative or judicial system can read the Constitution anymore.
Until we get enough people to vote out the well funded (bribed) politicians that refuse to seriously and honestly address our gun problems at a national level, we're gonna be stuck seeing mass shooting after mass shooting.

I sincerely think the only real way we START to get real improvement here in the US is to get large money donations out of politics. Dark money from those who make money from distorting our politics is an evil we are reckoning with.
Exactly.
It's one of the ways these clowns make so much money while 'serving the public'...
Didn't the Dems propose something recently to get dark money out of elections?

there was that whole citizens united decision a while back too
There was a similar bill before the midterms that passed the House and failed the Senate.
IMO, the R's are benefiting a whole lot more from dark money than the R's.
I should probably let this go in the mass shootings thread.
Funny how these bills always come up for vote when they know it won't pass.
Possibly. probably, even. But if you think anyone congress is clean I've got lots of things to sell you.
Three days. 10 mass shootings. More than 50 victims. US sees worst weekend of 2023. (msn.com)
I always knew there was a reason I avoided other people. Sad

You are a cynical dude, man. Life can be easier.
IIRC, the bill would have passed if not for Manchin and Sinema.
No lies detected.
Hahaha, I don't think this is correct, my life is a cake walk.
I just have no love for the clowns in DC. That said, I don't think much about it, as clowns aren't my thing and the federal government doesn't have a huge impact on my quality of life.
I just despise crooked, power-hungry people, of which there are many in DC.
Seems to be a common refrain over the last few years.
If they can get it passed, I'll absolutely concede there might be some in DC that deserve to be there.
The #SecondAmendment is as American a right as freedom of speech, religion, & the press. Today I unveiled my bill to make the AR-15 the National Gun of America. We must send a message that we will meet every attack on any of our constitutional rights.
Suppose it belongs in here. Five miles from my house.
News reporter, 9 year old girl dead, two others shot at site of murder investigation from earlier in the day.
19 year old suspect in all three murders returned to sight of earlier crime.
I’m less dogmatic on the death penalty now than I was when I was younger but I wouldn’t shed a tear for him if he was fast-tracked to the Chair in Starke.
