A hundred years ago, migratory birds were being wiped out at an alarming rate, with mega-serious population declines. Legal restrictions were duly processed, at the national level, limiting the gauge and number of shotgun shells that were legal. Today our shotguns for hunting such birds are legal, as they are plugged to three shots max. The populations of migratory birds have recovered.

The point is: Restrictions on the Second Amendment have precedent and are current.

In my opinion, we need a well regulated militia. Todays version would be a registry. I would want it to be non-governmental, as in private.

Ponder a law that, by 2026, an owner of a military grade assault rifle would need to register it with proper ID. If its stolen, report it. If not, it is, officially, legally yours.

While searching for tickets for an upcoming event at Hard Rock Live at Universal CityWalk, I see shows for Bebe Rexha called Best Fn Night Of My Life, Ted Nugent called Adios Mofos, comedy shows by Dane Cook, Anthony Jeselnik and other shows that are arguably adult-centric. Yet, the only one indicating that it is age-restricted to 18 and over show is one by Jinkx Monsoon, a noted drag queen. I can say with almost 100% certainty that the chances of any minors attending the drag show are pretty limited, compared to those likely to attend any of the other shows mentioned with content that may warp their young impressionable minds. The hypocrisy is laughable if it wasnt so obvious who is being targeted here.

I want to thank Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Republican-led Congress for making Florida the freest state to have a homeowners insurance increase of $1,000. Where are the retirees like myself to find a 33% increase in our insurance coverage?

Maybe if theyd spend less time in attacking our schools, LGBTQ and trans community and Disney, they could address our insurance problems and needs. All that freedom sure doesnt pay my bills.

Our state has been experiencing the effects of climate change and I worry about the future and the climate extremes that coming generations will experience. April is Earth Month, and the theme this year is Invest in People and the Planet. So, I wonder why big banks like Bank of America, Chase, Citibank and Wells Fargo are still investing in the expansion of dirty fossil fuels that are causing such climate destruction. According to the report Banking on Climate Chaos, these banks have invested more than $1 trillion in fossil fuels since 2016.

The recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report says that feasible, effective, and low-cost solutions are readily available but arent being scaled up at the necessary speed. This spring, the big banks should adopt the pending shareholder resolutions on climate change at their annual meetings, commit to accelerating their investments in clean energy and divest from coal, oil, and gas.
