Can You Guess Who The First Governor Is To Contract COVID-19?
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has COVID-19. I hope he recovers without getting any of the horrific side-effects and without passing it along to his family.

A hallmark of bullpups is their compact, high barrel-to-length ratio, which makes them ideal for urban operations, or for troops in veh... more »
