I wish we could be shocked like we once were. But it’s who we are. So screw it.

We want blood. All of us. We don’t care that 30 kids were murdered or 5 LGBTQ or now 10 plus Walmart shoppers.  

Fuck every last one of us.

And I mean it. I’ve done nothing. All I’ve done is bitch about it.  If school children in Texas didn’t move me to meaningful action these 10 people in  irvinia won’t.

I’ll chime in again if I can figure out what to do, then do it.  Suggestions are welcomed.  Till then I’ll wait for the next massacre.  

Fucking late night shopping for Thanksgiving

Oh and as a good to do how ya doin we did t even talk an out the last execution as a state that happened the other sayin Alabama. It took 3 hours to kill him by lethal injection. Know why the governor was pissed? Cause the family watching it was uncomfortable. I mean fuck that guy who we slow killed. She wants it more efficient so families can see it quickly and get to the I-Hop for lunch.

If you’re in another country seeing these stories you cant tell me we aren’t looked at as animals. Killing kids or those that are gay and slow bleeding a murderer for 3 hours.
Merica.

You can combine it with the deteriorating mental health of this country, but guns kill people and reducing the availability of assault weapons would have a huge impact. Sadly, we can't get it done.

Gun ownership has been weaponized by the Republican Party, and that all started back in the 1970's.  The Republicans love themselves all these social "wedge" issues that bring in a few thousand votes.

Talking to gun owners they all seem to believe that limiting guns in anyway is a threat to their lives.  Totally an emotional response that they have been brainwashed into.

Why can’t I own a tactical or ballistic nuclear weapon? Isn’t that the government infringing on my right to bear arms?

Right. If only they could come to the conclusion that the right to owning guns doesn't equate to owning assault weapons.

It’s Thanksgiving, and many of us are gathering with friends and family. Given the horrific news of our having passed 600 mass shootings in America this week, the dinner topic in many homes will inevitably turn to the political debate around guns.

That discussion about guns in America generally falls into two polar opposite positions: don’t regulate guns at all, or ban large parts of the spectrum of guns and heavily regulate ownership of the rest.

But there’s a third position, entirely outside of that spectrum, which every actual “free market“ conservative in America could embrace, and liberals could be down with as well.

It might provide a “safe space” for conversation over Thanksgiving, if Uncle Ralph insists on talking politics.

That’s to treat guns the same way we treat cars.
