Politicians in the financial hands of the NRA

are fucking up the entire United States - this cannot continue.
This is absolute madness and mayhem.
Yet again I am watching families being escorted out of a shopping center with their hands in the air being treated like common criminals while these terrorists are walking free with assault rifles.

That was both embarrassing and disgraceful. He was talking about mental health and gangs and of course violence in Chicago while his constituents have just been slaughtered and of course he called for prayers. He is clearly a pimp for the NRA

Nine ReTHUGs have responded since this latest slaughter - not one mentioned the word gun, let alone assault rifle.
