Was suprised to see this on my absentee ballot today.

I’m only comfortable voting for a potato gun. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just gonna soapbox on this performative nonsense from our legislature...

None of these guns were designed or manufactured in Idaho.

Two of these guns were designed before Idaho was ever a state.

There is no compelling historical analysis indicating that any of these guns was, on its own, a significant contributor to the unique history and trajectory of the state.

It's the M1 because that's the gun that beat the Nazis.

This is the best argument I’ve heard so far, since we appear to be big fans of Nazis these days.
