The problem with access restriction is that you will never get to 0 access, and access is always gate-kept by 'background checks' and MONEY, and many of the people who have carried out mass shootings went through background checks and had the money to get the guns to do the crimes.

You should all just stop giving him attention... call him the pedo prez if you have to mention him... If anyone tries to engage you in talking about him... just say, not interested in what dementia donny ranted about today.
