Tucson Was Not About Mental Health Or Civility

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

Of course, it would have been nice if the Arizona shooter had been able to get good mental health treatment.

And the Virginia Tech shooter actually got mental health treatment.

But the only thing both had in common was their ability to buy guns easily, without background checks and without mental health assessments.

And it’s not about demonizing, amoral politicians like Palin, although it would be nice if just once our media characterized the former half-term governnor as amoral and demonizing.

Thanks to the current Supreme Court, the chances of serious gun control being passed in this country are zero.

So the killing will continue, even if it’s a Supreme Court justice on the receiving end of unfriendly fire!

And it’s a national disgrace: 100,000 Americans are killed or wounded by guns every year.

The Right To Own The Means Of Death

Shall be upheld, apparently, so long as arms are involved!

Not that this should be a surprise, the current Supreme Court is dominated by right-wing, Know Nothing ideologues who are committed to keeping this country just as backward as it possibly can be!

So, let the killing continue, let screwing the unemployed continue, let America descend to the lowest common denominators of selfishness, racism, and hatred!

Guns Blazing

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Another day, another mass shooting in America…

And another round of excuses about getting guns under control: it’s unconstitutional, it’s about self-protection, it’s about people killing people!

So, we’ll continue to accept that the richest nation on earth can’t provide health care for all and can’t stop the barbarism of gunplay.

“The reality of that particular situation is the gang members already have their guns…. The people who need this bill are the ones that the gang members might be threatening,” countered Sen. James Webb (D-Va.).

Gorilla expects little, and gets less, from the State of Virginia.
