I blame the NRA…

Well…another morning another 50 people dead on the altar of gun worship in this country….450 injured and more will probably die and I blame the NRA for it’s years of stoking fear, it’s years of buying politicians so that rational, public supported gun control couldn’t happen…and now we have this…we have a white, domestic terrorist acting on what the NRA has been calling for for years…that people will have to die to protect their bastardized understanding of the 2nd amendment….I knew that this would happen…after Sandy Hook with 30+ children dead and nothing happened to control these weapons, I knew that the NRA had won…when there have been 273 mass shootings this year alone and nothing is done, I knew the NRA had won….and this guy had 10 automatic rifles with huge magazines that are perfectly legal in Nevada…something the NRA purchased politicians think is just fine…and now there is a bill being pushed by the NRA that would allow people to buy silencers…if this had been passed and this guy had them for his guns, how many more would have died? A hundred…two hundred? The only way this murderer was found was it was night and people could see the muzzle flashes…something a silencer also prevents…there is one thing that every mass killing has in common…guns….now is the time to tell these NRA purchased politicians that we have had enough…that sensible gun control is needed now…and throw the bums out if they won’t listen….one last thing…after the last two videos that the NRA put out hinting that liberals should be killed, the NRA should be labeled the terrorist organization that it is…and be put out of business now….

Who’s the criminal?

Well…with the idiot Trump continuing to whip his crowds up with chants of “lock her up”, it’s time to really look at who is the criminal here. Over the past 25 years, the repubs have spent over 100 million dollars “investigating” the Clintons…and guess what? While the right breathlessly repeats that Hillary is under investigation, none of them have found any criminal wrongdoing by her. On the other side, the idiot Donald is going on trial for fraud on Monday…the first of many trials related to him ripping off the students at his Trump U…and just yesterday, the NLRB has found that he is breaking the law by refusing to bargain with unionized workers at his Las Vegas hotel. And yet, working class people are overwhelmingly supporting him no matter that his policies would drive them even deeper into poverty if he is elected. So, who’s the criminal here? It sure isn’t Hillary…geez…

A good guy with a gun didn’t stop the bad guy…

Well…it seems like every day there is a new story about a shooting here in the US and the refrain from the NRA folks is always “we need more guns since a good guy with a gun is the only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun” but that nonsense was blown up with the shootings in Vegas last week. The criminals that shot the two officers there last week and then went into a Walmart to continue killing people were confronted by a “good guy with a gun” and they shot him dead…since the good guy didn’t have tactical training..or any training for that matter…just the rubber stamp that allows people to conceal carry across the country, the puffed up craziness that comes with a lot of these folks kicked in and he thought he was going to be a hero…not so much.  I am just so tired of the gun nuts here in the US making everyday life much less safe than it was when I was growing up…geez…
