I agree. They are both absolutely wonderful legislators. Hopefully they won’t have to give up their seats to run in the Senate primary.

Hopefully, when one concludes early in the primary that their run for the senate is relatively hopeless, they'll still have time to drop out and run for their current seat in the house.

As well he should. Mrs 99 drives a Kia and can't get insurance for it.

Yes, he's late to the game and yes, it's the carjackers who are primarily to blame but this (see link below) helps explain it a little bit. Many if not most people who comprehend the situation and why he's suing the car manufacturer/s feel he's not wrong for taking action against them.

my granddaddy told me a long time ago "if you don't want your car stolen, don't live in a democrat run $#!thole." that advice has served me well.

What other democrat logic am I missing? Are murderers no longer to blame for murders?

How silly of you not to expand your thought process beyond shit you see in a social media post and do no research about.
Of course the thieves are to blame for the theft. I challenge you to provide something where Johnson says/claims they aren't.

Bakersfield, CA has the highest per capita rate of auto theft

the mayor of Bakersfield is a pub

pub-run cities have the highest rate of auto theft

am i doing it right?

It’s not “democrat logic,” it’s just math. For all you blather on about the Deep State and so on, the government doesn’t have limitless resources. So, doing things from the top down - preventing harm in the first instance, rather than prosecuting every single instance of harm - is exponentially more efficient.

The same logic of course applies to, yes, guns.
