1. And another "ho hum" week

for the right-wing gun lobby and its Second Amendment absolutist apologists. But the crime rate is down they say, as if that makes one whit of difference to the loved ones of the dead and injured. We need more guns in more hands to make us safer they say, as if a shoot out at the neighborhood bar would be a good thing.

It is time to reduce the number of guns in our society by implementing meaningful gun control, to include universal background checks at the local level to weed out habitual drunks, wife beaters, and anti-social militia-type assholes. It is time to make the sale of high capacity military style weapons illegal. It is time to enact and enforce safe storage laws for all lethal weapons (yes Mr. Gunner, it can be done).

As flaming lib said above, Go Vote for a Democrat who will stand up to the right-wing gun assholes who enable mass death in this country on a daily basis.
