How many more children have to die before the US comes to its senses and divests itself of its ridiculous gun fetish? Last week, a 13 year old bleeding to death in his parents' arms in a hotel room after being shot in the head by a bullet 'accidentally discharged' in a neighbouring room, this week a 12 year old shot by police in a playground for the heinous crime of having a toy gun (I'm sure the fact that he had brown skin was a pure coincidence). FFS grow up, the fucking lot of you, and stop pretending you're living on the wild frontier. Guns have only one purpose - to kill. Consign them to the dustbin of history, where they belong. And those of you on the other side of the pond who might read this, and say that I'm just an effete Brit who doesn't understand your country - you're right, I don't understand. I don't understand how this carnage hasn't brought about change decades ago.

No, I get you and know you understand perfectly well. I cannot for the life of me figure out why we can limit the Free Speech of the FIrst Amendment, but cannot limit gun bearing of the 2nd. Pisses me off no end. Money, money, money. The NRA pays too much to the politicians to ever expect change.

Hello Jay
DeleteAnd that's before we even start on the Ferguson verdict. There are plenty of police over here who are racist arseholes that think they're above the law, but at least, in most instances, they don't go around packing lethal weaponry. Yet.
