watch as the third mass terror attack in a month is ignored and downplayed because the shooter is a white male and therefore does not fit the racist narrative conservatives want to push.

This list is taken from the New York Times article “Thoughts and Prayers and N.R.A. Funding” written after the Las Vegas massacre. The people above are the Senate’s ten largest recipients of money from the National Rifle Association. I replaced the quotes from the article with the most recent comments made about yesterday’s (Nov. 5, 2017) shooting in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

27 dead. 24 wounded. The population of Sutherland Springs, TX is 684.

Republicans said it wasn’t the time to talk guns after Las Vegas. I’m assuming it won’t be the time to talk guns after kids (and adults) were killed on Sutherland today. Meanwhile in Wisconsin, you can hunt with a gun even if you’re teething. All this because of the gun lobby. All of it. Every last stinking dollar. 

If you’re a legislator who takes money from the NRA and others in the gun lobby, I have just one question:  How in the hell do you sleep at night?

Mass shooting

follow up post here discussing gun control.

There’s been another mass shooting in Texas, at least 27 dead after someone opened fire in a church. Among the dead were several children, a pregnant woman and the pastor’s 14-year-old daughter.

After the shooter emerged from the church, an armed neighbor exchanged gunfire with him, hitting the shooter, who fled in his vehicle. Neighbors apparently followed him, chasing him into the next county, where the shooter crashed his car. The shooter was found dead in his vehicle. Officials said it was unclear how the shooter had died.

It baffles me as to why this is continuing to happen. It’s honestly absurd. We’ve become so desensitized to all of this, yet if you stop for a moment and think, This cannot keep happening. Politicians keep saying they will try and solve this, that they know how to fix this issue, but nothing is changing.

Let’s not send prayers, send emails and letters to your senators and mayors. Prayers aren’t going to change legislation.

If thoughts and prayers alone prevented gun violence, we wouldn’t be shot in places of worship.

GUN CONTROL NOW.
