      Umm no sweety. You see, anti gun laws only hurt law abiding citizens because criminals don’t care about gun free zones. But anti mask laws? That only helps law abiding citizens because criminals will abide mask free zones. It’s simply economics 101.

      Yes but also no, because this is just him saying it and not an actual government rule of any sort.

          I don't know if you created that portmanteau but I will be using that now, thank you.

    It's funny because I saw a report on the local news showing a guy masked up sticking up a store, but he had actually entered it without a mask.

    Nothing is going to stop someone from masking up if they're going to rob a place, but it's really fucking stupid to say "fuck you" to all the people that still mask up for their health.

    Good thing I don't live in NYC. If I went into a store and the shopkeeper asked me to take off my mask to prevent robberies, I would immediately steal something and run out of the store.
