The Smithsonian got $25M, as did the Kennedy Center. The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities each got $75M...There's $300 for the African Development Fund...
    Yup, any excuse to increase the size of the federal government.

    ...and Trump signed it.

    Who am I supposed to vote for in November? There isn't anyone running that is fiscally responsible.

    The other problem is that Trump won't speak with authority against any governor that is grossly violating the 2nd.

    If fiscal responsibility is your voting issue, I guess you haven't voted....ever?

    How is the President supposed to resolve 2A issues in the states? I only took high school civics, so maybe I missed how the President is able to change state regulation.

    He should be out there reminding the states that any gun law is an infringement and therefore unconstitutional.

    He had gun stores added to the ?essential business? guidance. It?s not his problem to solve. The AG is looking hard into what the governors are doing.

    POTUS has bigger fish to fry right now.

    I was just speaking generally of missed/ignored opportunities in the past.

    He can use his agencies to sue the states for civil rights violations.

    AG Barr has already stated that they're seriously looking into what the governors are doing.

    Trump did his part with supreme court appointments... now we just need them to start taking the cases to shoot down the infringing laws.
    'Unless a law-abiding individual has a firearm for his or her own defense, the police typically arrive after it is too late. With rigor mortis setting in, they mark and bag the evidence, interview bystanders, and draw a chalk outline on the ground' - Judge Benitez , 2019, Duncan v. Becerra.

    'One of the ordinary modes by which Tyrants accomplish their purpose without resistance is by disarming the people and making it an offense to keep arms.' Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, 1840.
