What will happen to people who see wrong and wish to report it?" 

"Moreover," Chip continued, "Why do you think lawmakers are pushing for these censorship bills? Because we're calling them to the carpet."

Sheriff Bill Gore on preventing shootings: "We can have that conversation without talking about people's Second Amendment Rights"...

"Want to know why this is scary? Sheriff Bill Gore and Cheif William Lansdowne are COPS. Theyr'e the ones with the guns. Lawmaking is reserved for legislators decideding on behalf of the constitution and We The People." - Chip
