We have watched while first Congress, then the White House, then the SCOTUS were purchased. By whom? The Wealthy Elite, who have their own ideas how things should be run. Folks, we might have another chance next year if we VOTE.
Totally different cases. On the one hand the opioid makers were just out for a profit at the cost of people’s lives, and on the other hand, the gun makers are just out for a profit at the cost of people’s lives. But the opioid makers are evil because they don’t have the second half of a constitutional amendment to support their enterprise, whereas the gun makers are as innocent as the pure-driven snow because the demigods of the SCOTUS have ruled that the operative part of the amendment is the one that gives everyone access to truth, beauty and the American Firearm.
If we want a safer America, we must first eliminate the Republican party. Get rid of it, root and branch!
As Dr. Maddow pointed out on her show last night, the Republicans are lying through their teeth when they say that “mental illness” and video games are the root cause of the mass murders here in America. Japan, for one, has more “violent game” gamers than America on a per capita basis and their mass murder rate is a tiny fraction of ours.
The “mental illness” excuse rings terribly hollow as well due to the simple knowledge that ONE OF THE FIRST stand-alone bills passed by Congress and signed by Trump, after he was elected, was a bill granting “mentally ill” people to PURCHASE FIREARMS!
You and I both know that, as craven and as stupid as members of the republican party appear to be, they WOULD NOT ALLOW “mentally ill” people to purchase weapons if those people could be considered “dangerous”!
So that “excuse” won’t fly, and the mental midget and moral craven who planted that bug in Donnie John’s ear should be heartily ashamed of themselves (and you KNOW it was someone else because Donnie John doesn’t have the intellectual ‘chops’ to come up with such an idea on his own!)
Republicans are perfectly “okay” with mass murders (as long as ‘their kind’ are not targeted), and, since the republican “base” own the majority of weapons in America, by far, it stands to reason that, for the most part, the “republican constituency” is NOT TARGETED in any of the recent “mass murders”.

It’s awful quiet around here.

Humans fascinate on the nature of a death with myriad questions, all of them, morbid. I prefer to ask “Who was this man and how did he live?”

The laws were fixed so gun companies could not be sued, but that can be changed.

Simple greed drives both pipelines, and Congress share the wealth, while the country, and people, get hosed.

That’s what happens when big business is allowed to regulate themselves.
