Another week, another mass shooting. And another time the spineless motherfuckers in the GOP say we're not going to talk about it. When are we going to talk about it? Ever?
And not only are the rat bastards doing nothing, they're making it worse. And the clergy, Fox News, and fucking rat bastard Alex Jones are spitting on the graves of the victims they've created yet again. They're saying fuck you to the victims with rising gun stocks and guns once again flying off the shelves.
Its time to say enough is enough and kick them in the balls. It's time to send the NRA packing. This tragedy is hitting way too close to home for me. I know people who've lost friends and relatives in this tragedy. I know people who have been shot. And now to hear that the shooter had a second target with Lollapalooza, this is too much. It's way past time to start fighting back against this bullshit. How many more people have to die before something is done? I'm convinced the NRA won't be satisfied until we're all dead and they have all our money, because, profit.

(51,644 posts)I said that I am still pissed off! The night before he heard me ranting and swearing in my kitchen about the fucking NRA and GOP. I am pissed off and I will stay pissed off since nothing ever changes for the better, it gets worse and worse and I feel frustrated and helpless.

(100,112 posts)I'm so angry I can't see straight. The way the GOP, Trump trolls, and the NRA have handled this tragedy is beyond poor and is becoming a fuck you to us. Same as every other senseless act of violence that's happened. The way they handled Newtown and Orlando was beyond ridiculous as well. We give the NRA too much power. And then today to learn that the shooter had targeted Lollapalooza - bands I would go see in concert, this is just infuriating me. It's time to say enough is enough.

Snyder, who describes himself as 100 percent pro-gun, was identified last month as the source of a rumor that Hurricane Irma could turn into a Category 6 hurricane which does not exist.
The candidate has a strong following nationwide among the religious right, but hes not very well known in Idaho.

(50,569 posts)In it, Mr. Snyder - who is completely against everything you care about - claims to have "hundreds of millions" of listeners in the United States. Since there are only 323 million Americans, there are only two possible interpretations of his belief: every single person in America listens to this moron, or he's more full of shit than Donald Trump.
No one is more full if shit than Donald Trump.

(17,984 posts)It is NOT up to us to bend to their will. They are the minority. I say chase them back into the caves they crawled out from. Never listen to them again. It is high time we, too, became intransigent.

(100,112 posts)It's time we take it back from them. This tragedy I would think would be the last straw. They learned nothing from Newtown, or Orlando, or San Bernadino. Or any mass shooting in the last 15 years.
ProudLib72
(17,984 posts)That's been our mistake all along. We can't expect them to take the time to consider a reasoned argument, let alone make any concessions. When we take back congress, we need to ram the legislation down their throats.

(4,174 posts)When we are told it is too soon to talk about Las Vegas, the we should ask if we can talk about Pulse. If not that then ask about the next one and keep asking one shooting at a time until we get back to Sandy Hook.
