In a completely, totally unrelated development, Musk has switched his party affiliation to Republican.

If more firearms in civilians hands made us safer, we would be the safest nation among western allies. BUT WE ARE NOT!

UPDATE...... Reuters and NYT are reporting 18 dead. Number may go up as many in the hospital were listed as critical. I hope not.

10 0 days without a mass shooting that qualifies as a mass murder
1 0 days without a mass shooting in general

Morbid sarcasm, but yea, it feels that way.

If only I kept up America: the Drinking Game. Taking a shot of liquor every time a mass murder happens in America is still more action than Congress will ever do.

You mean half of congress. Mainly the Senate. The last time the GOP gave a shit about gun violence was when Hinkley shot Reagan and Brady. Ever since bills that Democrats have passed have gotten overturned by the GOP, like the assault weapons ban. And other bills passed by House get filibustered by asshole Mitch or simply don't come to the floor at all.

It is not that the entire congress doesn't want to do something, it is that one party has it's head up the ass of the manufacturers and the lobby. But one lobby that is hardly ever spoken of, is the NSSF(The Firearm Trade Association). They are the corporate profit lobby for the industry. The NRA is more of a political heat shield for them.

I'm still waiting for the guns handed out like candy.....
