At this rate it appears that by Oct. 31st most of America will have completely moved on from the October 1st mass shooting in Las Vegas.

While I appreciate that “entertainment news” is no longer cycling misinformed and uninformed segments, it seems certifiably insane that we have moved on before peak Halloween sales.

I get it, I think. If Sandy Hook didn’t move us to act, how can Las Vegas?

Still, though, have we really accepted this as our reality?

1. not a peep about 'bump stocks'

the NRA owns congress.

3. Ive heard bump stock peeps over the weeks.

But nothing beyond peeps.

Republicans and right-wingers did what we should fully expect them to do as a result of another mass shooting, i.e. rally behind the NRA.

I guess I’m just hoping to identify a fight somewhere, even if we are effectively “only” fleas on a dog’s back.

2. The Massacre Is Already Gone And Forgotten.

The dead are now gone and forgotten. All is OK in Amerikkka now.

4. Yes this is our reality. We live in a violent gun culture society.

We can be killed going about our daily business. And the government and citizens don't seem to care enough to stop it.
