Gee. Just make every purchase a three-day waiting period like guns. Fill out your paperwork and pay and come back in three days to pick up your approved purchase.
Who could object to that? I mean, we're told all the time by the media that it's just "common sense."

Naturally, they won't be allowed to shoot the criminals though. Ie, it's just another way for the politicians to soak up money from people. There will only be 'approved' companies you can use who are their friends and relatives.

Automated stores will take over. No employees or cash registers to rob. To get in will require credit/debit/EBT card and face scan and total surveillance while in the store. Select items with smart phone or touch display, pay with card and goods will appear on conveyor belt.
Slightly less dangerous areas will allow customers to place items tinto cart. Try to run out with goods and card will be charged.

Don’t they have to lift the gun control laws before the armed guard law can take place or is the Dollar General going to be forced to hire Brinks guys. The bill sponsor will likely have received donations from Brinks or some other firm.

City Supervisor Matt Dorsey recently proposed a new law that would allow city officials to report illegal immigrants who are fentanyl dealers to ICE
The law would partially undermine the city's noted Sanctuary status and has caused upset among woke public defenders and officials
The public appear to be pleased that there could be some legal repercussion to dealing the highly addictive substance that has killed thousands in their city
Paul Vallas, 69, is facing backlash for liking a series of derogatory tweets
Some of the tweets referred to Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a lesbian, as 'Larry,' called her a gnome and made fun of her receding hairline Picnic Ant Lady?
He also liked tweets supporting the controversial 'stop-and-frisk' police tactic
Vallas is the frontrunner in the mayoral election on Tuesday

I would think she stands to win as the other candidates will split the voters who dislike her.

She can count on a split but she needs 50%+ or she'll run against someone else in a 2 person runoff in April

In Chicago it's all about the machine and the business interests that line up behind the machine. The actual Chicago machine these days answers to the horrendous Toni Preckwinkle (Cook County supervisor) and to some extent to the also horrible J.B. Pritzker (governor.)
Whatever they want, is what the chumboloneys in Chicago will get.

[PJ] DeKalb County is one of the most heavily Democrat counties in metro Atlanta. For perspective, this is the county that is largely responsible for sending Cynthia "I Hate Israel" McKinney and Hank "Don’t Tip Guam Over" Johnson to Congress.
The county also recently crowed about a grant that its Board of Election received. The $2 million grant comes with the county’s designation as a Center for Election Excellence by an organization that calls itself the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence. That organization is part of another group called the Center for Tech and Civic Life.
Here’s how local website Decaturish reported on the grant:

[PJ] Residents of East Palestine, Ohio, the site of a train derailment of cars filled with toxic chemicals, have started to refer to their town of 4,700 as "The New Love Canal." That Niagra Falls neighborhood has been the poster child for uninhabitable housing since the 1970s. Given what happened in East Palestine, it appears that history may be repeating itself.
It’s been clear since the derailment happened on February 3 that the Biden administration has been uninterested in doing much of anything to help. Yes, they sent the EPA, and Mayor Pete showed up in a really super cool pair of dress boots. But beyond that, what has the Biden administration done?
They’re going to hold Norfolk Southern Railroad responsible. But what about the sudden and unexplained illnesses cropping up in residents exposed to the toxic stew that federal officials are telling them not to worry about?

Terrorists, both foreign and domestic, would love to know which trains carry which explosive and toxic chemicals. Derailing just any old train is boring.
Every so often, the big blue cities try to ban the transport of a chemical or two. The Feds have not allowed them to interfere with interstate commerce. Yet. Maybe this is a start of another run at a ban, to create more transport havoc, shortages, and higher prices. And inflation.

At this point anyone who still listens to the Biden Admin deserves what it gets.
[Breitbart] A group working to recall New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell (D) has reportedly collected the signatures needed to put her second term at risk, the news coming as the city endures rampant crime.
“Right now our mayor doesn’t love New Orleans so the citizens and the residents stood up. We’re taking our city back, and we’re gonna save New Orleans,” vice chair of the No LaToya recall campaign, Eileen Carter, told Fox News this week.
In August, the petition was filed by Carter and Belton “Noonie Man” Baptiste, then it was confirmed by the Louisiana Secretary of State’s office, Breitbart News reported at the time.
On Wednesday, the organizers gave the petition with signatures to the Orleans Parish Registrar of Voters office. They reportedly gathered over 50,000 signatures, and claimed they exceeded that number.
Video footage shows the group moving boxes full of signatures out of a van, and Carter, who used to work in the mayor’s social media department, said organizers had long been “playing a game of strategy.”
“They thought we were just some residents who don’t know anything. But we stand here today, and so we ask you to trust us, and to continue on this,” she commented during a recent news conference:
Meanwhile, Baptiste told Fox, “Mayor LaToya, it ain’t that we hate you. You didn’t do your job, and you’re about to be fired.”
New Orleans was recently called the nation’s murder capital as homicides peaked to numbers not seen in years, according to NBC News:
Homicides surged to almost 250 by mid-December of 2022 in the Democrat mayor’s city, Breitbart News reported.
Carter, who has accused the mayor’s office of keeping the recall campaign from hosting an event at a local restaurant, said people are tired of living under that kind of oppression.
She also told Fox the recall effort is made up of people with different political views, noting that when there is common ground, things move forward.
“We’re showing the difference of how government can work for the people with the people,” Carter stated.
Per the Fox report, state law says there are 20 days for the voter’s office to verify the signatures before announcing what happens next, but organizers are optimistic and confident the governor will grant approval for a special election.
