Ban ghost guns

Luigi Mangione had a connection to Philadelphia by being a student at the University of Pennsylvania.  Police say that Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the homicide of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, used a 3D-printed “ghost” gun and a 3D-printed silencer in the New York City shooting. As the Associated Press reported, Mangione “likely was motivated by his anger at what he called ‘parasitic’ health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed.” It is terrible that a life was taken away because of, apparently, a hot-tempered opinion toward the American health care system. To prevent such violence, ghost guns must be taken off our streets permanently. And Gov. Josh Shapiro should use the power of his office to fight for legislation that would make these guns illegal across Pennsylvania. It is very commendable that McDonald’s staff members in Altoona were able to alert the authorities to Mangione’s presence in that restaurant last week. They handled that situation safely despite the difficult circumstances.

Help small businesses

American Workers Radio, local business owners and small business associations are proud to promote December as National Small Business Month. The response to the December National Small Business Month effort has been very good, and we thank the individuals, small businesses, business associations and our supporters in the media for helping promote the importance of shopping at local businesses and helping keep communities strong. During December, Americans celebrate several special holiday occasions and everyone is asked to be an ambassador of the December “National Small Business Month” campaign and all efforts we promote that benefit American workers. There is no question that inflation has placed a lot of stress on America’s businesses and American workers. This is another reason why we are promoting December as National Small Business Month. To help promote the campaign, there are a few posters on the front page of AmericanWorkersRadio.com. The posters can be printed out and be displayed by small businesses to let customers know they welcome their business and are supporters of National Small Business Month. Let your local businesses know about the posters on NationalSmallBusinessMonth.com or on the front page of AmericanWorkersRadio.com. Kindly spread this information to your family and friends, and thanks for your participation. We welcome your comments and suggestions. Email them to: Michael@AmericanWorkersRadio.com
