The Sparks Shooting and How Americans are Used to Gun Violence

 Everybody else gets it. Even the official US gets it with VOA posting something called Experts: Gun Violence Is Public Health Crisis in US. Yet, there are lots of people who are in denial that there is a problem and that the current course of action is the wrong one (so, where the evidence of those 3 million DGUs the gunloons keep talking about?).

Unfortunately, the US has a serious case of denial.  It is a nation that has a gun addiction.  The gun lobby enables the addiction because it means more money for them: screw the cost to society.

Anyway, people stage an intervention when someone has a serious problem and they are in denial.  It's time for the US to have a serious intervention with its gun addiction.

Either that, or the US hits rock bottom, which I hate to think about since 20 six year olds aren't enough to get people to show some compassion.

  1. Or is it only propaganda when the Republicans are doing it?

    " Reuters reports that the U.S.’s venerable propaganda outlet, Voice of America, is planning to expand its Persian-language TV offerings in Iran to a four-hour daily broadcast."

    "Various sources[51][52][53][54] consider Voice of America an instrument of the United States' propaganda campaigns."

  2. Pooch, was this supposed to be funny. It reminded me of George Carlin's "Near Miss" routine.

  3. Laci, are you getting it yet? You've lost. You're wrong about us, and you're wrong about what would work here, but regardless of that, you've lost.

    1. You're the one who's got it wrong, as usual Greg. Laci is right to point out the denial around the problem of mass shootings. You lyingly claim to not believe anything can be done about it, that is after you admitted our ideas would work but the price is too high. That makes you complicit in the bloodshed, the needless bloodshed.

    2. I made no such admission, and you should stop lying about that. If recent events, especially Newtown, can't get you gun control, you've lost. You fought a hard war and did your best, but you've lost. Now will you kindly give up?
