Many, including myself, who think it is too easy to obtain an automatic firearm in most states, don’t advocate for gun bans or buy backs, and do not consider all guns bad. Some of them perform for their communities? Picture summerstock but with more toilet humor and catchier music. The product placements might be a bit distracting, but come on—this can’t be the first time you’ve seen Hamlet and Ophelia delighting in a $300 juicer.

3. Town Crier: Admittedly, it’s been many, many years since this once-vital community role faded away. And it’s going to feel a bit stuffy to have to start every sentence by yelling out “Oyez, oyez, oyez!” But with their penchant for sharing news, gossip, advice and whatever else, unemployed TikTok stars will find plenty to love about this job. Yes, the annual salary is $0. But the outfit is totally chic in a retro, Old English sort of way and the big brass bell is going to be every influencers’ must-have item for summer. own guns.

TikTok friends, it’s going to be alright.

Keep creating, keep dancing, keep being utterly ridiculous, no matter the platform. We’ll keep watching.

Virginia Lt. Governor Winston Sears recently appeared on Bill Marr’s Overtime show and clearly expressed her opinion on gun ownership in the Commonwealth. “If you’re breaking into my home while I’m waiting on the police to come, I’m gonna shoot you.

That’s just the way it is. I’m gonna pray for you, but I’m gonna shoot you,” she said. Although the lieutenant governor and I would be hard pressed to find areas of agreement on a variety of subjects, I found her direct answer more appealing and coherent than many of the positions claimed by both sides of the gun control controversy. Her comments were loudly applauded by Marr’s audience, which is usually packed with liberals.

I take solace in the fact that reasonable people can disagree, and perhaps that’s the problem we’re having when it comes to gun control. Finding consensus among two polar opposite opinions is not easy, but compromise among those willing to concede that each side has merit is much easier.

The point is, there is room for consensus regarding gun control and other social issues. Change won’t come in monumental doses, but small advances can evoke new solutions. And if those small compromises save one life from irresponsible gun violence, it’s a start in the right direction. It at least could begin a conversation that seeks solutions as opposed to political punchlines.
