The party doesn't matter. Conservatives do help slow down gun legislation.

There are liberals in law enforcement, but the average cop on the beat knows a lot of citizens need guns for protection. Without resistance laws would be passed that made ammo much more expensive or even prohibited.

But Greg, if we had more ammo, we would shoot more people.

They are having some trouble getting their way with gun restriction so they are going after the ammo.

Great artwork for a comic. But "immortal?" Been a while since I read the comics. Us 60's liberals thought it was cool to keep up with Doonesbury in the early 70's.

Testing, tracing, and isolating is easier in a country with one-sixth the population and culturally they are more more likely to follow government directives.

There is a difference. People in other countries leave stadiums in an orderly fashion. Not us. We have more people that are disobedient or people that flout rules and regulations.

I watched some of the video. Some were giving the reporter the, "...you are working, we are not..." routine.

He might not be tough enough for some of those locations.

Rod, a few people gave a meek reporter "a hard time." The guy he was most excited about was walking straight down the sidewalk. Why didn't he step off the sidewalk and let the big bad bully walk on by. The reporter might be more comfortable on different assignments. A few people protesting doesn't seem like a big national story worth talking about for more than a few seconds.
Believe it or not a lot of folks would rather be working.

Your reply to, "...you are working, we are not..." was mentioning the gov checks. That's why I said they would rather be working.
The video only shows "the bully" walking down the sidewalk the same speed as the other protesters. Maybe the reporter will be more convincing next time.
