    Nova Tractor vs Betstco Flail

    New Mexico governor issues order suspending the right to carry firearms in public across Albuquerque

    Is this where you read that? You missed one of the highlights. Personally, I deplore reading articles driven by polls and uncharacterized data points. “In spite of scoring highly on preventative measures, two states – Maryland and Illinois – still had gun deaths that are near the national...

    She has actually way overstepped her bounds of authority. We shall see how (if) that envelope gets opened.
