More murdered Children More Republican excuses

 I am not mincing words.

WHAT will it take for our representatives in Congress to BAN assault style weapons? Apparently murdered children is not enough for them to say ENOUGH to the NRA and the gunmakers who apparently line THEIR pockets and support them so they can make laws protecting the Gun lobby.

You will not I say OUR REPRESENTIVES Somewhere along the way, we forgot and they let us forget , that they represent OUR desires for laws that will make our lives better, not special interest groups with piles of money.  US.

Call your senator and your  representative and make your voice heard.  BAN ASSAULT STYLE WEAPONS.  Enact sensible laws pertaining to gun ownership.  Do something about the mental health crisis in this country.

I am particularly incensed by Tennessee Rep Tim Burchett a "proud NRA member" who , according to Rolling Stone has passed legislation to improve gun ownership rights. He is not concerned about HIS child being in the crosshairs when he sends her to school- he homeschools her.  He then called for a return to Christian values.  The IRONY of that surely is missed by Rep Burchett, as THIS particular shooting was at a Christian school.  He says that we can't fix it.  The guy is less than useless, he is an NRA blockade to anything that might stop the flow of money to him and his campaign. He knows who is master is and it AIN'T us!

There will be people out there who think this request to look at sensible gun laws is a move "by the libs" to take away their guns  Cue the mass production of bumper stickers, t-shirts and hats that say something like "You can take my guns when you pry them from my cold dead hand"  

What about the cold dead hands of the nine year-olds who were murdered in school this week.  Collateral Damage?

On a side note, if you are upset about what is happening in Israel with the government attempting to take control of the judiciary, but NOT seeing what is happening in GEORGIA USA as the same thing, pay attention.  The court system was set up to be independent of politics, to abide the rule of law.  But when the Republicans don't like losing the game they change the rules.  So NOW they can remove anyone who does not do their bidding.  I hope Fani Willis has her ducks in a row before this latest travesty of law can be enacted.  

At least he can't go after Jack Smith, who really has the goods.

I am gobsmacked at people who watched the events of January 6 in real time who now deny what they see.  The worst are the Congress people whose lives were saved by those brave officers who now say it was "no big deal."  I know they won't but I would be a wee bit slower in responding to an emergency in the offices of those representatives.

I will be calling Ms. Feinstein and Mr. Schiff in a moment.  I urge you to make similar calls or emails.
