Until a few of their "heroes" DIE by gun violence, [View all]

the Republicans will continue to have no interest in reasonable gun control.


They do not care about children dying, they have no interest... it does not strike 'close enough to home'.
After all, they care nothing about children, after they are actually born...


(I will try to be absolutely clear here, this post is not meant to advocate violence in any way-- I am just "saying it like it is".)



Furthermore, I suspect they will continue to have no interest in any form of gun control-- unless and until they might succeed in stealing our democracy-- at which point the "fall" of some of their heroes would be more likely to happen.

Then "the shoe" would be on "the other foot", wouldn't it ??


They don't feel "the loss" of innocent school-children. They are not "unborn babies". Of course, they "are sorry" and all that... but as President Biden said, "no action" will be the result. Hell, many of their partisans APPLAUD the murder of black Americans which happened a few days prior...

(Sorry for my despair on the issue, but that is the way it is.... and personally, I have some belief in the second amendment-- but never interpreted it as getting as many guns in the hands of as many unstable persons as is possible...)



P.S.S. in reply to comments--- yeah, it is likely that most of the gun-humpers would not care even after some of their gun-humper heroes fell to gun violence-- but it seems like the only thing that might break through some of their too-thick gun-humper skulls...

P.S.S.S. but the majority of the American people, in polls, continue to want more control exercised over the gun epidemic.... unfortunately, we are the victims of minority rule, at this time, even though we "won" the elections...
