My heart is heavy about the latest shooting and I just broke down a little bit.

They showed a picture of the Rev. Clementa Pinckey on the news and I cried
for a few seconds.


Less then 3 miles from where I am sitting right now 4 people were just gunned
down in a home 5 days ago.

Fuck the God Damn NRA because I am sure right now they are having meetings about
how to manage this latest bloodbath which will be the last one until we have the next
one. 2nd amendment freedoms? R you kidding me? What about all of our first amendment
freedoms like the one to be able to peacefully assemble?

IT IS THE GUNS ..... END OF STORY

[madokie]

1. Its the GUNS! end of story

[hollysmom]

2. it is not obnly the guns, it is the hate and stupidity of people as well.

how ignorant and determined to be ignorant was this young man <-- wait that is not a good enough word to describe him - This scum bag. There,that is better.

I swear so many people enjoy being ignorant, they wear it like a badge. And they hate others because, who better to pick on than someone who is not them selves - no responsibility for their stupidity, , their bad choices in life,
I can hardly wait to turn on FOX news and find out how there is no racism in this country, no poverty no stupidity. And god save the guns.

edited -Oh, I forgot that I put Faux gnus as the only channels under parental control, don't have the password, oh, well, will not watch it again. Nice to remember that no one visiting can accidentally turn it on either.

3. 30,000 people dead every year at a cost to the economy od $200 billion.

When does this get the attention it deserves?

[kenfrequed]

4. I don't have any words

I just have rage. I am convinced that this bullshit would have been less likely if we didn't have a huge right wing media that was fanning the flames of racism in order to use against the sitting president. This must end.

7. I have heard there are enough guns in this country for every man, woman, child.

Mike Daisey does a one man show about guns, The Story of the Gun, which we saw about a year ago,
and he used that number.
