RDA
Terminator A proposal to take RDA funds from
California cities to help
balance the state budget would put a stop to Desert Hot

School
District to allow teachers to pack heat
"When the federal government started making
schools gun-free zones, that's when all of these shootings

people can't defend themselves? That's like saying 'sic 'em'
to a dog,"
