In America smoking kills far more in a single year than all gun-related deaths combined over the course of an entire decade. Why aren't anti-2A politicians more obsessed with this MUCH bigger killer that affects minorities and the poor disproportionately? This guy in particular burst into flames while smoking... yikes.

Gives new meaning to "smoking."

Short answer: (a) A major crop for Virginia is tobacco and (b) Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.

As mentioned just above, the GOP politicians in government have fought tooth and nail. Apparently tobacco farming is still subsidized by the federal government: https://www.ewg.org/agmag/2018/05/thank-you-subsidizing-smoking

The best that can be said about tobacco smoking is it is Darwinian-except their kids get damaged by it also.

1) An armed populace fighting for what they believe in is not the same as an army forced to fight at the will of a dictator they're probably scared of.


You might think about that first part and what that may mean.
