They freak the fuck out about Ebola, which has not killed anyone infected here, but guns that actually kill people? nope, can't even pass basic safety and sale regulations. Can't even have a Surgeon General to help with the ebola "crisis" because the nominee says that guns are a health and safety issue (which it is) ...........

We are a seriously fucked up country.
