More mass shootings this year so far than days passed on the calendar.
Will we get the war weapons off the streets? Will the leaders lead?
No, we won't. No, they won't.
We will stack the bodies like cordwood using children as the mortar to build our real wall, the one between our humanity and ourselves. The TV will be sad for a few days and then Justin Bieber will drive too fast somewhere, and we'll roll those bones under the rug with all the others.
When 20 dead children at Sandy Hook changed nothing and almost 90,000 have died by gun violence since, we crossed a moral Rubicon. There is no coming back. This is what we are.
We are the Monster State. We stack the bodies and stroke the bullets until they are greasy with sweat. We are heroes, proud in the thunder of our guns, because this is freedom.
This is freedom.
This is freedom.
Not with a whimper, but a bang.
This is freedom.
