Congrats America!

You win the Atomic Weenie award for another mass shooting!  And this one was on live TV!

I am a horrible person

When I first heard about today's mass shooting in Virginia, I thought, "Only four dead?  That's not too bad."  And I'm sure I wasn't the only one who thought that shit.

Seriously, what kind of country have we become when we're so used to shootings like this that we think that four dead isn't 'so bad.'  Fuck.

I hate the USA the NRA has foisted on us.  I will never buy, carry, or use a gun.  I refuse to become a part of their death machine.

Who said the NRA didn't have a sense of humor

Good one Wayne.  That 'press conference' of yours yesterday was pure comedy gold.

You had a week to come up with a response to the latest mass shooting of innocent children and what did you do?  You came out and blamed movies, TV, and video games for the murder of those first graders and their teachers.  And as if that wasn't funny enough, you also now demand that every school in the USA have an armed guard.  Your big ideas are to blame others and to put more guns in our nation's schools?

See dude?  Your shit has us all laughing like fucking crazy.

Columbine had armed guards, they didn't help.  VA Tech had a SWAT team who had all sorts of guns, that didn't stop that armed man with a gun from shooting bunches of college kids.  Seriously, MORE guns?  God damn man, you slay us...literally.

Dude, have you not noticed that they watch violent movies in Australia and Japan?  And they play violent video games there too.  But gun related deaths and mass shootings like we have in the USA just don't happen over there in Australia or Japan.  Why is that?  Oh, lemme see, maybe it's because they have strong gun control laws and regulations?  Yeah.  That's it.

But hey guy, good show yesterday Mr. NRA Head.  Very funny.  Hilarious in fact.  But now that you got the joke out of the way, come back on Monday and be prepared to give us some substantial ideas like closing the gun show loophole, banning the sale and use of clips that contain more than 10 bullets, banning the sale and use of hollow point bullets, you know, shit like that.  And also, be prepared to pony up some cash for all the funerals and family counseling for the families who lost loved ones in mass shootings.

Come on man, do the right thing for once. 

Guns for everyone, or the NRA sez the 2nd Amendment covers terrorists too

In a stunning announcement earlier this week the NRA, or as they are better known here at Monkey Muck HQ, the National Rightwing Assholes (Association), said that those suspected of terrorism should be allowed to buy guns just like every other person in the country. From the Associated Press:

NRA: Don't Ban Gun Sales to Suspects
WASHINGTON — The National Rifle Association is urging the Bush administration to withdraw its support of a bill that would prohibit suspected terrorists from buying firearms. Backed by the Justice Department, the measure would give the attorney general the discretion to block gun sales, licenses or permits to terror suspects.

In a letter this week to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, NRA executive director Chris Cox said the bill, offered last week by Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., "would allow arbitrary denial of Second Amendment rights based on mere 'suspicions' of a terrorist threat."

Here's a picture of the only two people the NRA does not want to give guns to in the USA.

In just the past few months we have had the shootings at VA Tech, which they said no one should use to advance any political positions whatsoever, more shootings in the Midwest, and all the shooting deaths and injuries that don't make the national news but you hear about every day in your local media, well that is if you don't have a Murdoch media outlet in your area. And what does the NRA say about all this death, destruction, mayhem, and murder that handguns hath wrought?

The solution is more guns!!!! If the students at VA Tech had all been armed then someone would have shot the Korean kid. If those people at the mall in the Midwest had been armed they would have shot the guy who was shooting at them. And now the logic seems to be that the terrorists need guns to protect themselves from the police and from law abiding citizens who are packing heat.

Baby Timmy, how do you feel about the NRA position that even suspected terrorists should be allowed to buy guns?

"Holy shit, I'm only a baby and even I know that's stupid. Those guys at the NRA make me so mad I could cry. Oh poop, I'm crying already."

The NRA are a crafty bunch though. They say all the time that they don't think we need more restrictive gun laws, what we need instead is for the ones on the books now to be enforced. So in order to keep their stranglehold on this country all they have to do is to influence what laws are passed. Their plan is simple yet evilly effective.

How does this make you feel Anonymous College Girl?

'Nuff said.
