Angry and Disgusted
In two weeks I shall leave again for Mexico City, and, frankly, I feel safer down there than in the United States. I am not about to make Mexico out to be some tranquil Eden. There is plenty of violence there... warring drug cartels, domestic violence and drunken gunfights. But, as a visitor, the likelihood of finding myself in such a situation is negligible. In the good old U.S. of A., however, you never know when some deranged gunmen is going to slaughter a slew of innocents in a school, in a church, or in a movie theater. And now we have the latest atrocity, the massacre in Las Vegas which has left, at this point, 59 dead and more than 500 injured.Each time a tragedy such as this happens we wonder if Congress will finally have the guts to do something about guns in this country. I'm not talking about outlawing private ownership of guns and confiscating them from individuals... the Second Amendment of the Constitution would prohibit that. However, the Supreme Court has ruled that the right to bear arms is not without limits. So why not prohibit the sale of assault weapons whose purpose is clearly to kill as many people as possible? Why not tighten the loopholes by which people buy guns without a background check?
No, the Republican Congressmen, lackeys of the NRA, offer their hollow prayers and condolences to the victims, but say that this is not the time to politicize the tragedy. What of load of BS! You know damn well that if it had been a Muslim who had done the shooting, they would have been "politicizing" all over the place!
I'll probably write to my Congressman, although that will probably fall on deaf ears. He's a Republican in a gerrymandered district. And don't get me started on gerrymandering!
