Don't let the gun nuts frame the debate

[marions ghost]

71. If you really loved America

you would set her people free from the iron fist of the NRA.

Yahoos carrying guns around the Walmart parking lot or to political rallies-- gives me the opposite feeling of "love for America."

Don't get me to list the people I have personally known who have been killed or terrorized by guns in America--not to mention the mass killers that take a piece out of us all and make other countries think we are insane to put up with it. The daily death toll. The culture of fear actively promoted by the Corporates--the fear of your neighbors not to mention Armageddon. It's time for America to grow up and accept collective responsibility for this national disgrace. Instead Americans are wimps and just go buy a gun.

And then is the connection between gun culture and The Bogus Wars....

All this wears people down, makes them stressed and sick, infringes on our rights to public safely. It's not about hate--it's about tough love. About not pretending--pretending that this gun violence is not connected to the sickness and corruption at the core of our politics. It's extremely corrosive. Part of the past, not the future. This level of gun access and gun violence has no place in a civilized society.
