I wrote "whenever there is mass shooting in the U.S. ...the debate about gun violence inevitably ramps up. Gun control advocates demand more restrictions on gun...while Second Amendment proponents argue that bearing arms is a constitutional right and...more restrictions won’t help..."

The United Kingdom is a bit occupied at the moment with the aftermath of the decision to leave the European Union. What will happen? Will the economy survive? What about passports and visas?

Washington - While he isn't ready to throw in his campaign towel, Bernie Sanders says he will vote for Hillary Clinton in November.
Speaking on MSNBC Friday morning, Sanders was asked whether he planned to vote for Clinton, “Yes.

Third-party presidential candidates, Gary Johnson and Dr. Jill Stein, do not have the same advantages as Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. However, both candidates mounted presidential bids in 2012 and may gain new political ground this election year thanks to one issue - marijuana legalization.
With two of the most polarizing and unpopular presidential candidates in modern history set to formally accept their party’s nominations, many Americans are restive for an independent, third option this November –– someone to vote for, not against.
To date, seventeen Democratic State Conventions, one legislative district convention, and one county convention have voted to either abolish or reform superdelegates.
Following frustration voiced by Bernie Sanders and his supporters, Maine was the first state to pass a resolution at their convention in early May, followed closely by Alaska.
