Another Mass Murder In America (and again)
Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2017 7:43 am
(and another school shooting 2/14/2018)
Honestly, I am so damn sick and tired of this. It is sickening.
50 dead and 400 injured from a high-rise sniper shooting people at an outdoor music event in Las Vegas Nevada.
The shooter was a 64 year-old man from Mesquite Nevada.
Another loner. Another disaffected angry white guy. The last one that got me so deeply upset was a loner disaffected angry white KID who shot up my first grade classroom.
Remember the discussion surrounding Sandy Hook Elementary? Remember what we as a Nation DID about it? Remember Hippie getting all pissy with me because I "politicized" a tragedy? Remember the lunatics who said Sandy Hook didn't happen?
THIS IS WHY WE NEED GUN CONTROL, and no, I will not entertain stupid comments that veer into polarizing nonsense. Gun control is NOT taking away your ability to defend yourself and your family! A burglar doesn't need to know if you are armed and with what, he only needs to have to guess.
Semi-automatic assault rifles with humongous magazines do not need to be so readily available to us. We have proved again and again that human beings are prone to emotional irrationality and mental defect. We cannot handle military grade weaponry under the bed and in our cars. We are too hair-trigger for weapons of mass-killing.
Instead of bleating your second amendment tropes, gun nuts, you need to shut the fuck up and take in Reality. You need to get out of your noisy loud compensatory strutting machismo fantasy factory and LOOK at what we are doing to ourselves. Tens of thousands of us are dying each year. Tens of thousands. My God, why can't we see? I am so sick and tired of this. It is pathological.
So Australia had a massacre that killed 35 souls in 1996. Australia passed a gun control law that banned semi-automatic rifles and shotguns. Firearm homicide rate fell by 59 percent, and the firearm suicide rate fell by 65 percent, in the decade after the law was introduced, without a parallel increase in non-firearm homicides and suicides.
Hello. If you gun nuts are so gung-ho for guns guns guns to protect you, do you recommend making sure every one of perceived enemies in America are armed to teeth, too? Muslims, blacks, immigrants, liberal snowflakes, Skittles addicts, school teachers and pastors, shouldn't we all have to opportunity to shoot you back? Shouldn't Congress and the NRA require that all visitors to the Capitol or the NRA headquarters be armed because arms protect us?
NO! They require that you step through security measures to make sure that you do NOT have a gun on you! Well, why not? Because they KNOW that people are hare-brained hair-trigger irrational idiots, that's why!
We have to stop this carnage. We have the FACTS. Let's dispense with the bullshit rationalizations.
