Yet Another Mass Shooting

  Ian David Long: 13 dead, 10 to 12 injured.
  More people dead. More bullshit from the GOP and the NRA. What more is there to say? Nothing changes. Nothing's ever going to change. The death toll will just keep rising.

The Body Count Rises and Pipe Bomb Mailing Trump Fan

  Robert Bowers: 11 dead, 6 injured.
  Gregory Alan Bush: 2 dead.
  More people dead and just like the Las Vegas massacre, nothing will be done. The NRA and the Fox Propaganda Network will do everything in their power to make these shootings go away. I'm getting real tired of these motherfuckers.
  On a different note, Cesar Sayoc, a rabid Trump supporter, has been accused of sending pipe bombs to prominent Democrats, liberals and the news media. The targets have been those regarded by Trump as his enemies. Trump's response and the response of other right wing shit mongers has been par for the course. With the exception of Vice President Pence, no one on the right has expressed concern for those targeted by the bombs. They're claiming the bombs are false flag attacks designed to swing the midterm elections in the Democrats favor. While Trump has done a generalized, perfunctory condemnation of the attacks, his tweets reveal his real thoughts. He's in favor of the violence so long as it serves his purpose and targets his enemies. We have to remember that this prick praised a congressman for assaulting a reporter as well as encouraging violence against protesters both while running for president and after he was elected. The only way Trump would denounce violence and mean it is if it were targeting him or his family. Even then he'd find some way to blame the Democrats for it. Trump and the right wing media call for unity while simultaneously riling up their bases with hate filled rhetoric then they wonder why the country is so divided. The Alt-Right is full of shit mongering fucktards and the GOP has nothing more than power mad maggots running it. The only voice of reason the GOP had among them, Sen. John McCain, has sadly passed away.

The Cycle of Violence Continues

Dimitrios Pagourtzis: 10 dead, 13 wounded.
Another mass shooting and like normal, the NRA, GOP and the right wing media will try to brush it under the rug. There'll be the usual empty thoughts and prayers along with other platitudes. Here's a list of the typical statements you'll hear and their translations.

The Cult of the Gun

  The leadership of the NRA is little more than a gun worshipping cult that regards everyone as blood sacrifices on their altar. They, and their alt-right media fascist propaganda monkeys, have resorted to mocking David Hogg and the other Parkland survivors instead of objectively reporting the news or engaging in reasoned debate. Fox News' simpleminded bigot, Laura Ingraham, enjoyed a much needed bitch slap as her show has lost advertisers because of her unwarranted attacks on David Hogg. Even her pathetic excuse of an apology hasn't stopped advertisers from leaving.
  Then there's alt-right conspiracy nut job Josh Bernstein who put forth the theory that David Hogg was "affiliated in some way with Nikolas Cruz" because he did real time interviews with his fellow students during the shooting. Of course, he provided no evidence beyond his gut feelings to support his asinine claim. Sadly this idiot, like Fox News, has a following of brain dead gullible morons that buy into their smear campaigns.
  Because of the Dickey Amendment, the CDC doesn't do any research on gun violence. And even though the Omnibus Budget recently signed into law by Trump grants the CDC the right to research gun violence, researchers doubt anything meaningful will become of it because they're afraid they'll lose funding if they pursue hot button questions about guns and gun violence. The Tiahrt Amendment also precludes gun trace data from being used in academic research of gun use in crime. The government has made gun records nigh impossible to trace by hobbling the ATF with an antiquated data system that's not searchable. And who can we thank for fucking us over like this? The gun worshipping cultists heading the NRA that's who.

How Many?

Mark James Robert Essex, 9 dead, 13 wounded.
James Oliver Huberty, 21 dead, 19 wounded.
George Hennard, 23 dead, 27 wounded.
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, 13 dead, 21 wounded.
Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, 14 dead, 22 wounded.
James Eagan Holmes, 12 dead, 70 wounded.
Wade Michael Page, 6 dead, 4 wounded.
Charles Joseph Whitman, 16 dead, 31 wounded.
Stephen Paddock, 58 dead, 489 wounded.
Dylann Storm Roof, 9 dead, 1 wounded.
Omar Mateen, 49 dead, 58 wounded.
Adam Lanza, 27 dead.
  This is just a short list of some of the perpetrators of mass shootings in America. America has more mass shootings than any other country. For more information on this and a more complete list of American mass shootings, look here. After the Las Vegas shooting the Republicans, the White House and Fox News offered a bunch of hollow platitudes and meaningless prayers while claiming that now is not the time to be politicizing events like this. Of course, for them, the topic of gun control is always off limits because they're all lap dogs of the NRA, GOA, the gun lobby and the gun manufacturers. They have the power to do something. The fact that they do nothing is a clear indication that they care nothing about the victims. All they care about is money and power. These callous motherfuckers would rather lick the shit out of Wayne LaPierre's ass crack for campaign cash than make any effort to control gun violence here in America. How many people have to die or be wounded in attacks like these before they stop sitting with their collective thumbs up their asses and do something about it? It should be noted that the NRA supports new rules regarding bump stock devices.

My Solution to the Gun Problem.

  For some time now, there has been much debate over how to lower the level of gun violence in America. I have a solution that might work. It's not perfect, but I think it has promise. First off, anyone that wants a gun should be allowed to purchase one. There will be no background checks because we all know that the NRA is completely against them probably because its membership is completely paranoid. Ok, now the Second Amendment is properly protected. Now lest you think that this will result in more gun violence, there's a caveat. The sentence for anyone found guilty of committing a crime involving a firearm is death. Period. End of sentence. In order to keep the accused from tying up the legal system, they are only allowed one appeal. No more. If that appeal fails to reverse the guilty verdict, the guilty party is executed. This execution doesn't take place days, weeks, months or years after the failed appeal. The guilty party is immediately taken to the execution chamber and the sentence is carried out. I know that some people say that the death penalty doesn't keep others from committing the crime in question. I don't know how true that is. My goal isn't necessarily to get others to stop gun violence. My goal is to remove the irresponsible gun toting cocksuckers from the land of the living. The more violent, gun toting thugs killed, the fewer there are to menace society at large.'Nuff said!

Republican Rebranding

The Republican Party is looking to change its image. They want to make themselves more appealing to minorities, women, young people etc.. Are they fucking kidding us? The party of homophobes, misogynists, anti-science, anti-education, racist, gun nut, religious zealots wants to appeal to more people? This is the party of the rich, by the rich and for the rich. Offer these assholes enough money and they will bend over backwards to suck your cock. Why do you think the gun regulation bill got shot down? The NRA stuck out its cash laden cock and they couldn't suck it fast or hard enough. If the GOP wants to make itself more appealing to a greater portion of the population, here's how they can do it. Disband. It's that simple. Pack up your bags, gather together your propaganda machine and get the fuck out. You clearly don't give a rat's ass about what the people want. You're too busy spreading your lies among your ignorant followers. If this country is to get ahead, you have to go. It's that simple.

NRA: Delusional Paranoids

The NRA's response to the Newtown massacre was typical NRA. Their adamant refusal to accept ANY form of firearms regulation is indicative of a raging paranoia gripping the upper echelons of this organization. They're absolutely certain that our government is going to become tyrannical and they're the only thing standing in the way of that tyranny. Let this old SubGenius preacher man paint a hypothetical scenario for our more paranoid NRA members. If the government decides to go fascist, your firearms won't amount to shit. Why? Because not only does the government have a sizable collection of firearms and ammo, they've got tanks, combat jets, LAWs rockets, surface to air missiles, air to surface missiles, etc., etc. You're collective asses will simply get blown off the map. And your ad about Pres. Obama's children having Secret Service guards was ludicrous. The President is one of the most important people in the world. He has access to highly sensitive, top secret information. Of course his family going to be heavily guarded. Your argument is fucking asinine. Then there's the statement the NRA made stating "The answer to a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun." Got any evidence to support your statement? So far I haven't heard shit. You'd think they'd be parading out these examples if they had them. It would surely support their argument. So where are they? Now I'm not railing against the entire NRA membership, only those with paranoid delusions. The ones that jack off while reading Guns & Ammo magazine and have Dirty Harry fantasies. Get out of your post apocalyptic bunkers and smell the reality. Firearms were designed to kill period. Not everyone should be allowed to have firearms and those that can possess them should receive proper training. Military style firearms should be left to the military.

The Right to Keep and Bear ARMS

Why do people think that the Second Amendment only applies to guns? It explicitly states "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." According to the dictionary, one of the definitions of the word, arms, is "weapons collectively". When the Constitution was being written, firearm technology was rather primitive. The guns of the era could only fire once before needing to be reloaded. This meant that you had to have some backup weapon available in case you either couldn't reload in time or your gun failed to fire at all. When you look at the Second Amendment correctly, it gives you the right to bear arms other than those of the firearm variety. Now obviously, some common sense must be used here. Certain weapons should only be used by trained military and/or police personnel. But I do believe that the average citizen has the right to carry a weapon for the purpose of self defense. The problem is doing so could get you in trouble with the police. Somehow I don't think quoting the Second Amendment to them will help make your case to them.
