re: #264 A Mom Anon

You would have thought the sight of a bunch of 1st graders being shot to death would have moved things forward. If that doesn’t do it, the only other thing I can imagine that MIGHT do it would be for them to personally have someone’s brains splattered all over their expensive suits. And even then, I have my doubts.

I have friends who currently live in Wales (and have lived all over most of Europe their whole lives) that are totally freaked out by how stupid we are about this, health care and education. I honestly don’t know what to say back to them anymore because there’s nothing I can say.

Yeah I was really hoping that Sandy Hook would be a watershed moment. I am dumbfounded about how stupid we are too. It’s like we’re afraid to discuss the issue. The problem to me is all these idiots in the media who want to blame anything from Asperger’s to this bullshit idea of a war on masculinity. or the more twisted fucks will even blame homosexuality. Saw that Ken Blackwell actually blaming gay marriage for this latest tragedy. Really, we need to have a serious conversation and the tactic of constantly calling anyone who dares to see guns in anything not universally positive a “gun-grabber” doesn’t help shit. It just keeps us stagnate until the next Sandy Hook or Isla Vista happens and we repeat the cycle of asking why this would happen. We need to sincerely ask ourselves why these type of massacres are so common in our country yet seldom heard of in other Western countries.
