In reply to the discussion: President Obama’s Fury Over The Failure Of The Background Check Bill, In 7 Lines [View all]apocalypsehow
(12,751 posts)40. As the country continues to trend Blue, Canadian-style gun control will come to America within
the next decade. In the meantime, thanks to the NRA and the likes of our very own "pro gun progressives"* down in the Gungeon, more massacres like Sandy Hook and Aurora will occur, and blood will be on those hands.
But there is a day coming where sanity and human decency and civilization will prevail in these United States against the right-wing forces of hate and reaction and racism (the "RKBA" movement is largely made up of racist white guys scared of "The Other"
, just like we prevailed over slavery, segregation, fascism, and Jim Crow.
