 The only reason I take my outside Nice Snoopy Be The I In Kind Shirt ones down is that I have a shitty HOA. well, I live in Europe. so Halloween is just one day and most people don't decorate, it's just some kids going around that day. People tend to celebrate throughout the whole month of October with parties, decorations, festivals, haunted houses, etc. People that REALLY like the Holiday will push it and start celebrating in late September. That's a great idea. My daughter is three, and she'd probably be into this. We went to one of those lame "trunks or treat" things last year, so she really doesn't have any expectation of going out in the neighborhood doing anything. I hope she doesn't get bummed out.

 The biggest problem is that driving a Once Upon A Time There Was A Girl Who Really Loved Chickens And Tattoos And Said Fuck A Lot Shirt vehicle on public roads is a privilege while owning firearms is a right. There is a somewhat logical argument that putting a constitutional right behind licensing requirements is illegal. Imagine if you needed to have a license to have access to your 4th amendment rights? (Right against illegal search & seizure), or you needed a license to access your 5th amendment rights? (Right against self-incrimination). If I don't have a driver's license, I can own as many vehicles as I want, I just can't take them out and drive them. The same should be applied to firearms.  Buy it:  Once Upon A Time There Was A Girl Who Really Loved Chickens And Tattoos And Said Fuck A Lot Shirt Premium Trending Shirt This Is Season: Meteoritee - Custom - Shirt

And this is coming from someone who owns guns and goes shooting pretty often. It's okay to love guns, but also recognize that something needs to be done because there is a problem. Unfortunately, too many gun nuts disagree and immediately shut down the topic. I simply don't see why owning a gun doesn't have the same standard of responsibility as operating an automobile. Why can't there begun licenses with the same oversight as a driving test? And why doesn't owning a gun require liability insurance the same way driving a car mandates?   Buy it:  Yes I Am Old But I Saw ZZ Top On Stage Signatures Shirt Premium Trending Shirt This Is Season: Meteoritee - Custom - Shirt

 I completely agree, I just don’t necessarily Trippy Sugar Skull Day Of The Dead Shirt like the idea that we can’t hold “our people” accountable because right-wing news outlets will run with it.

Trump's presidency leading to riots and murders in the streets? Double-digit unemployment? Hundreds of thousands dead from a pandemic that other countries have handled much better? A majority of active duty armed forces supporting Biden? Daily corruption and nepotism from the most crooked administration in American history?

 I would pay anything to watch him be Mrs Sugar Skull Day Of The Dead Shirt dragged out by the military. But he won't do that.
