Listen, I'm not really one to get super political, but what the f*ck is wrong with the representatives of the Republican party?
I'm pissed. I'm sick with disgust. I'm sad. I'm worried.
The right to bear arms does not mean you have to give free reign to anyone in the country with a motherf*cking heartbeat. Gun control should be a national priority. I think it's fine to own a gun. But I also think that there should be national standards used to acquire a gun, and it should be hella harder for people to illegally acquire guns.
You need a license to drive a car, and if you screw up, it takes a lot of work, and a lot of money, to get it back.
You need to jump through hoops of fire to adopt children whose parents didn't want or couldn't raise them.
Want to buy alcohol? You sure as hell better have an ID on you, even if you could easily pass for the parent of a 12-year-old.
Need Claritin D at your doctor's insistence because you are allergic to damn near everything? F*ck you. You better sign your life away and hit up the pharmacy once a week to get your fix because a couple of a**holes used it and a sh*t load of other ingredients to make a drug that only physically harms them.
Want to travel to Canada? Better get a passport. Oh, don't forget, it takes months to acquire one of these documents.
If you're planning on rescuing a dog, you better prove you're going to be able to take care of it and keep it and other people safe.
Want to get on a plane to see your mother, father, aunt or uncle? You better not even think of bringing a bottle of water, a container of shampoo the size of your fist, or a pair of nail clippers with the sharp (and oh so dangerous) file inside it.
Teachers. Aids. Anyone who works with children is required to have a background check.
But guns? Ehhh, let's just give that shit away. No big deal. What's the worst that could happen?
- 49 people dead and 53 people injured in one fell swoop at an LGBT nightclub.
- 14 dead and 22 wounded in San Bernardino, CA.
- 3 dead; 9 injured at Planned Parenthood.
- 9 people killed in a CHURCH.
- 20 children between 6 and 7 years old and 6 adults who dedicated their lives to children dead and two injured adults at an elementary school shooting.
Hate crimes. Terrorism. Mass shootings. I don't care what the everliving f*ck you call it. Do something about it.
What? You think it's okay to throw away someone's prescription shampoo before boarding a plane, but it's not okay to make someone get a background check before buying a deadly weapon?
What the f*ck is wrong with you?
The Republican representatives called the Democrat's quiet protest a publicity stunt. What do you think everything they do in the government is? A publicity stunt to keep an office or advance fellow party members or show the country who's the damn boss.
Grow up, and admit that the childish response to Democrats who are trying to do something is all about an ugly power struggle. Quit hiding behind laws written two hundred and thirty years ago before guns had the power to kill multiple people in a matter of seconds. More people died of disease in The Revolutionary War than from gunshot wounds. I doubt that would be the case today. Unless they needed Sudafed to survive.
