CNN reported that OAN helped fund this: "Efforts to undermine the 2020 presidential election results in Arizona have culminated in an "audit" of votes cast in Maricopa County. Not only was the recount instigated by a partisan majority in the state legislature, but the founder of the firm hired by the state Senate to oversee the audit has repeatedly circulated conspiracies and lies about widespread voter fraud."

Canada's federal licensing system is a big reason for this disparity. Buying a gun in Canada is like getting a driver's license. You have to apply for a Possession and Acquisition License (PAL) -- a process that involves a variety of background checks with a minimum 28-day waiting period for new applicants who do not have a valid firearms license. You have to take a safety training course. You have to provide personal references who can vouch for your character. You have to renew the license every five years"

The Canadian system acknowledges that a person might experience trauma, suffer from acute mental illness and go through other life changes that would put them at risk of using a gun to commit violence against others or themselves. The US system is a one-time snapshot of a person's life before they buy a gun. Licensing and renewal in Canada provide an evolving picture of a person's changing risk profile over time."

Seems like a better way to do things...

You can ponder the above while zooming in on M55: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmN7Rj2ns3M

I'd qualify the above statement to read, "The amount of disinformation and lies about the Georgia voting laws is pretty deep from the people who passed it." I see the same continuation is spreading to Florida and elsewhere as the GOP continues to base its voter restrictive laws on a bogus premise of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 general election."

Greg's response on Republican enacted voting laws prompted my curiosity on how many polled view them as I do or as he does. Taking a look at recent polling, it seems evident that a clear majority oppose the laws with the exception of voter ID:

Additionally, there's evidence that the proponents of these restrictive voting laws are facing an ever increasing backlash from those targeted by these laws:

So, the GOP has pissed-off a lot more people by enacting these laws and may very well face the music for doing so at election time...
