It's The Guns, Stupid
Since The Assault Weapons Ban Was Lifted in 2004, Mass Shootings have tripled.
This weekend, May 27-29, the NRA is holding it's annual meeting of neo-fascists at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. Those attending are demonstrating their agreement to allow assault rifles to be sold to teenage boys who are using them to kill children.
Prominent fascists attending the NRA Convention include Trump and Cruz, with Abbott appearing by video pre-recording.
Following the Uvalde massacre, big name entertainers cancelled their appearances at the convention. They scattered like flies off a cow's back, avoiding the ineffective swishing tail of the Democratic Party. Attracted by the stench, doubtless they will return for future NRA events.
The entertainers who cancelled instead of dipping old Glory in the blood of massacred children include Don McLean, Lee Greenwood, Larry Gatlin and some less notable NRA apologists.
Bill Clinton signed the Assault Weapons Ban in 1994 which reduced mass murders by 9% over a 10 year period. Since this ban was lifted in 2004, mass murders have tripled.
To hell with the NRA's stupefyingly wrong interpretation of the Second Amendment which is destroying our society, one mass murder at a time.
The AR 15 is a particularly nasty weapon of war. It's basically an M16 without the Automatic fire selector switch. The .223 cal. bullet is unstable in flight and can easily tumble so it impacts sideways instead of penetrating through and through.
It is absolutely horrifying that parents were asked to give DNA samples, I presume, to help identify bodies. I want Congress to have to look at the photos every day, of every body, as it was found.
The Second Amendment starts "A well regulated militia being necessary for the security of the state . . ." Today, that militia would be the national Guard. Ergo, if you want a gun, join the Guard. Take the training, go to the meetings and summer camp, submit to the watchful eye of a jerk of a sergeant.
The current crop of RW Supreme Court majority call themselves "Originalists" Then read the damn words printed on the paper.
