(373 posts)but, I remember reading here on DU that violence in the US is actually down, even with the bad economy, people have not been resorting to gun violence.
It is only these bizarre incidents that are on the rise, and I want to know why, beyond the fact that the gun exists.
I do find it odd, that no one is talking about saving Social Security anymore. I have seen more passionate posts about getting rid of guns forever, than protecting our seniors and the needy among us from the vultures in Washington DC.
Republicans were losing the argument badly, now The media has completely changed the subject. The party has completely changed the focus, now we're all about introducing gun legislation.
This issue is a non starter, meant to divide and conquer. Having lost on the gays and abortions, they are headed for the gun issue. Surely they have find a way to keep us bickering meanwhile they allow corporations to loot our treasury and steal from the least of us.
I read it put best here on DU 'The Democratic Party is attempting to steal defeat from the jaws of victory"
