Take your “thoughts and prayers” and stick them where the sun don’t shine. They are meaningless….no, they are worse than meaningless. They make you feel better and also make you think you’re doing something against the onslaught of gun violence in this country. You’re not. Until the weasels in Congress who are bought and paid for by the NRA are voted out of office there will never be a move to curtail the scourge that is gun availability in the United States. And don’t tell me “it’s not the time” to talk about the issue. Since a mass shooting has happened 29 times in 45 days so far this year, in your mind it will “never” be the time to talk about it. No, Mr. NRA member, you don’t get to tell us we can’t politicize gun violence in this country when politicizing guns is your main reason for being. And don’t tell me a “border wall” will solve the issue. Yesterday’s Florida shooter wasn’t an illegal immigrant…wasn’t a Muslim terrorist…was a disturbed home-grown killer with access to an AR-15. So all of the well-intentioned souls out there who tweeted or posted “thoughts & prayers” yesterday, Keeps those posts handy…you will need them again, probably in a few days. And to you duplicitous, two-faced weasels in Congress who pumped out the “thoughts & prayers” messages yesterday while continuing to pocket the NRA’s blood money, a day of reckoning is coming. There will be a tipping point. It should have happened long ago…but the carnage has become impossible to ignore and all your “thoughts and prayers” will be needed to keep your craven, filthy souls in office.
I don’t even feel anything about yesterday’s shootings in Florida. That’s the worst part of our failure to address the issue of gun availability in this country. A mass shooting of teenagers barely registers anymore. You pick up your phone or check your newsfeed on almost a weekly basis and here we go again. And nothing changes. The blood keeps flowing, the body-count keeps rising and our leaders do nothing but pontificate and deflect blame and cash the checks from the gun lobby that help keep them in power. Why should I get all worked up about these tragedies when the folks who can actually do something about them don’t care. Marco Rubio represents Parkland Florida in the Senate. He is one of the top Senators when it comes to accepting NRA dollars. If the folks in Florida keep electing him why am I supposed to care about yesterday? If you ask folks like Sean Duffy or Ron Johnson why sensible gun control measures can’t be looked at and debated you will get nothing but platitudes, bullshit and PR language written by NRA staffers. It’s really sad that the events of yesterday will happen again next week or the week after and I am to the point where it doesn’t even make me angry. Just resigned to the fact that it’s going to keep on happening.
