Why do we let them get away with this?
Ain't no 'we' about it, if by that you mean Democrats and Reid.
The ones who are letting them 'get away with' all this vote to keep them in office. Media owners support Boehner and Bundy and the Teaterrorists. They want the country to break into small Koch fiefdoms.
The kind of opinion we have here about the philosophy and the money being exchanged, has no mainstream voice. The public has been trained to accept the 'lone gunman' so they can 'file and forget' this and it makes little impact.
We have to get these guys out of office, and defend civil society from the 'rootin' tootin' wild west these guys represent. And finally take the bandage off the gangerous wound they represent.
Did you see this story here?
LTC Bateman tired of NRA and senseless shootings
That's It. I Am Coming Home.
The NRA has made mass killings normal in this country. I'm coming home from years of serving my country overseas to help stop it.
This is too much. We have Tea Party political activists shooting cops from behind, in the head, then covering their dead bodies with the Tea Party Gadsden flag and shouting, The Revolution begins now!
No. I am coming home. I need to be there and be part of the solution. Moms Demand Action is getting some traction, but they can use the lean-in of a few U.S. Army Airborne Infantry Rangers. I am only sorry that I did not stand up to this threat to our nation before. I am sorry. I was busy.
I have been overseas in Afghanistan and in NATO nations for half a decade while the insanity of the National Rifle Association expanded and exploded, and the NRA became, essentially, the tool of death in the United States. They made mass killings normal...
A whole lot more at the link that is even stronger and well worth reading, IMO:

'We,' meaning those who are busy working hard everyday for peaceful solutions in real life that get no attention, won't let them 'get away' with this anymore. Hope his words will resonate for many Americans.
Good questions, BI.
