A few bloody facts for the "casually interested" and "undecided" who "may" vote:

-----Those just murdered in Highland Park---like those in Uvalde and Buffalo and too many other places to list---had chunks of their bodies blown off ---hands, faces, heads;

-----The Highland Park shooter bought his high powered semi-automatic rifle and high-capacity magazines legally.

-----A strong majority of House Democrats and 48 of 50 Democrats in the Senate want to make the weapons and accessories used by these mass murderers ILLEGAL to buy, sell or possess.

-----NOT ONE Republican favors taking these weapons designed to efficiently kill people out of the hands of the domestic terrorists and mentally deranged who use them almost daily in our nation.

-----Finally, there is no hope or possibility that killers will be denied their weapons of choice and the carnage drastically reduced until enough of you wake up, go to the polls and elect commanding majorities of Democrats in BOTH chambers of Congress. It is that clear; that certain; that bloody.

photos of horribly damaged bodies (especially children) should become public. Bodies don't need to be identified...many can't, since they are blown to pieces...but the danger of these horrid machines of war might finally get through the thick heads of Republicans and the NRA members who continue to support the 2nd Amendment to the max.

Not only are young kids buying these meat grinders, but parents are even gifting them to their children.

Having said that, NO ONE needs these killing machines. If they are being used to kill deer, it must be because you can kill and butcher at the same time!

ENOUGH!

Buffalo who have been grazing on loco weed. The whole so-called hunting argument needs to be put to rest. It is nonsense and should, along with those who cite it, be ignored.

I'm not a gun lover and have no idea what gun goes with what purpose, but I can tell you which ones DON'T~

I haven't read through DU very far, today, but I did notice there are no arguments from the RW nut jobs regarding Highland.

You were using it as an example of the ridiculous lengths the people who talk all day have resorted to rather than state the obvious.

60 rounds from an AR-15 DESTROYING it, then show a picture of a 40 pound toddler hiding under a desk in school.

I guarantee their will be a whole lot of people throwing up in front of their teevee's and saying "I had no idea" - at this point the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few - time to get serious.
