Goat Spotted Waiting for the Bus on Vandeventer

2 years 5 months ago
The New Real Stl News is always bringing you the latest from the streets, and today the Facebook group came through with a picture of a goat just hanging out near the corner of Vandeventer Avenue and North Market Street. The photographer didn’t get close enough to find out if the goat was a doe or a buck, but either way, it certainly looked like it was out there waiting for the bus. We’d bet that it was ready to GTFO of there because the poor thing just escaped from Star Packing Company just a block east.

Firearm Industry Makes Huge Economic Contribution In America

2 years 5 months ago
Letter To The Editor: There have been several incidents in the past few years that have made the American people question whether the right to bear arms should exist or not even though it’s a constitutional right. The argument is usually from an ethical standpoint however, and not an economic one. What would the effect of banning guns have on the American economy? There are many stores all over the country that either sell guns as well as other products, or only specifically sell guns. If firearms are banned, what effect would this have on those stores? Not to mention gun ranges, that cater to people who own guns. If guns were to be banned, then gun manufacturers would suffer, the distributors would go bankrupt and the services such as gun ranges would no longer exist. The main focus of this research was to determine the effect that a ban of all firearms would have, not including specific bans of attachments or ammunition or specific types of firearms. Between July of 2019
