Twitter has made some changes affecting my account. No, not a suspension although I wonder if there's some form of shadow banning going on because the vast majority of my reply tweets get fewer impressions than a third of my small number of followers. I've found my feed suddenly swamped with leftist tweets; also, it used to be I only rarely got emails from Twitter and then usually notices of things like account suspensions. More recently I've gotten up to a half dozen Twitter notifications daily of other tweets. I don't know a lot of Twitter users to know if they've noticed similar upticks. But it does explain a fairly disproportionate number of reply tweets over the past week. To be sure, it's not all leftist tweets making my feed; I have been known to target Trumpkin tweets. However, this past week has been more of an exception than the rule. I used to spend far too much time on Facebook, commenting on political issues. I don't think I've done that in several months now.
My former UH students used to joke they rated my exams by how many beers it took to forget them. Just imagine coming home to Nancy Pelosi.

You lying power-grubbing statists confuse correlation with causality. The declining homicide rates continued nationally after the Clinton ban expired, even as the number of weapons increased. Most weapons used in gun violence bypass open-market regulations you've enumerated.
