Well, those Congressional GOPrs who have gotten NRA campaign donations... [View all]

Can afford to offer plenty more thoughts and prayers to the victims of another unnecessary gun tragedy, I’m sure.

It’s not like they have jobs where they could pass laws or something about this nonsense, right?

The only reason shit like this continues to happen is that we’ve collectively decided that the price of “freedom” is gun violence. Lots and lots of gun violence. Even that protection FROM gun violence requires the handy ability to inflict even more gun violence.

It’s nothing more than a nasty vicious circle.

As reasoned and influenced through the handy application of millions of gun manufacturer dollars and RWNJ propaganda, of course.

America is being held hostage to the almighty gun right now. It’s our national shame.

I’m not expecting anything to come out of this other than the same impotence and deflection that always happens when people are slaughtered by another gun nut.

At this point, the 2nd Amendment is nothing more than a national murder/suicide pact.

Just a thought. ResIpsa Feb 2018 #10
