Well…as I’ve hammered home since I started this site, elections have consequences and we are seeing that right now with the slate of sensible gun control laws that the dems are going to pass this week. They start with having to register for any firearm purchase, closing down the gun show loophole that puts guns int he hands of people who shouldn’t have them…and make every sale subject to a background check…sets up a “red flag” law which would allow family members to petition courts to remove guns from unstable people…another part would enhance storage safety by asking gun owners to lock their guns up and keep them unloaded…you get the point…all of these measures are popular with everyone except the gun lobby and were promised in the 2022 election so the dems are carrying through…things that would never have happened if the repubs were still running the state…geez…

Can these guys get any crazier?
Well…reading the papers today…and especially Daily Kos…okay, not technically a newspaper but a great place for we progressives to congregate…I was struck by the crazy being taken up to 11 by some idiot legislator in Missouri who proposed to make it a felony to even propose any gun control measures in that state. Yep, you heard me right…the party that reveres the constitution (or parts of it) has proposed that the 2nd amendment trumps every other one just showing that these folks are not qualified to serve anywhere. I wonder if they have even read the constitution? Don’t they understand that the Missouri constitution has specific clauses that make lawmakers immune to these types of charges? Man…just when I think that the right can’t get more stupid, here they come again with more, and more, and more…of the jaw dropping idiocy that is making them the laughingstock of the country…way to go Missouri!
