Dressing as Dahmer - Should Certain Halloween Costumes be Banned?

Costumes of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer are being removed by eBay and other online outlets. Interest in the cannibal - who killed more than 17 people, including children - has been reignited in the wake of Netflix's hit series "Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story."

Netflix appears to have a knack for inspiring questionable Halloween apparel: last year, costumes based on “Squid Game” were banned at three elementary schools in New York state, arguing the show glorified violence and would be “inappropriate.” 

How do you feel about banning certain costumes?

The Impact of Texas' Permitless Carry Law

A recent Texas gun law has allowed handgun owners to carry without training or obtaining permits. Since going into effect last September, police forces have stated their worries about a newly armed public. 

While soon-to-be 25 states allow permitless concealed carry, Texas is one of the most populous states in the U.S., making the acceptance of permitless handguns a new fact of life for a significant portion of Americans. 

How do you feel about more states adopting the permitless carry law?
