@DrSimonCraig @EM_RESUS And you have a vibrant hunting and outdoors culture in Australia nobody has taken guns from responsible hunters, so there goes that narrative in America that any gun legislation is trying to steal peoples guns or infringing on rights.

. @MLB needs to completely change its mindset. Instead of worrying about who does not like baseball and it should pay attention to those who love the game. Courting those who don’t like you is insecurity. Appealing to those who do is loyalty.
