You can reasonably dispute the meaning of a lot Trump says because he’s so incoherent and inarticulate. But what you can’t reasonably dispute is that he is a sadistic and delusional narcissistic sociopath, at once both psychopathic and psychotic ...

The largest source of stolen guns is from vehicles — on average, at least one gun is stolen from a car every nine minutes in the US. Even more alarming, the majority of gun homicides and assaults involve stolen or illegal guns. Securing guns in vehicles can prevent theft and save lives.
