Democrats govern, republicans fail

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243%, these numbers tell a story.

These people are fucking sick

Maybe the reason we have carnage on a daily basis in this country is because people who'd sacrifice their own grandkids for their guns are in power. https://t.co/Cx2sm07VSD

Taking care of your own

Hawaii has the lowest gun death rate in the country — Hawaii also requires permits with a mandatory 14 day waiting period, an age requirement of being 21 to buy a gun, and bans on assault weapons and magazines with more than 10 rounds.

Not feelin' it

Pardon me, but I'm having a real hard time feeling President Obama's indignation today over the Senate's failure to pass any gun control legislation.  Perhaps if the President had fought just a little harder to get the equally feckless Harry Reid to move filibuster reform.  Perhaps if the President--even after four years of their obstructionism, for God's sake--had ever stood up to the republicans.  Perhaps if President Obama had actually, just once, got out there and fought for ordinary Americans.

Instead, he held onto some Pollyanna dream that he could get republicans to cooperate with him in some kind of bipartisan bullshit, and we're all worse off for his inability to grasp reality.

Today wasn't a failure of Washington--it was a failure of the President.  Too little courage, no fight, and another epic fail for Barack Obama.

Call my Congressman?  You have to be kidding, Mr. President.  He's just the same as you, satisifed with the status quo.

But look at the bright side--three more years and you can make countless millions giving speeches and selling your memoirs.

Where the boys are

Why Indiana, of course.

Having lived there twice, unfortunately, I can attest to the mindset of your typical Hoosier.  It's pretty much like the South--ignorant, uneducated, illogical--without the drawl.  So it in no way surprised me that a group of boys from Indiana with assault rifles would try to intimidate women and children who were having a quiet, peaceful demonstration supporting stronger gun control.  They wouldn't begin to have an argument on the merits--their puny minds might explode if they had to deal with facts and logic--so they carry big guns to make up for their lack of manliness.

Trust me, not even Viagara could help these boys.

On the bright side, there's at least one rust belt state that's even more pathetic than Michigan is these days.

Assault on intelligence

Seems a couple of the folks at Fox News think the reason we need assault weapons is because the Iranians, the Syrians, and a bevy of Al-Qaeda operatives may just up and decide to invade America

Yesirree, Bub.

Leaving aside the fact the odds of Mexico and Canada giving carte blanche to these American enemies to carry out their raids into our territory is akin to those of winning the Powerball Lottery twice, why on earth would a nation with the greatest trained military in the history of the world want to entrust its security to to a bunch of numbnuts carrying assault rifles whom you wouldn't normally trust to clean up the dog poop on your lawn?

What this country really needs is a War on Stupidity.
