I cringe every time a news reporter asks a person who just went through a shooting, "What was going through your mind as you found yourself...?"
In this difficult situation?
In the middle of a horrible mass shooting?
In this deplorable hellscape?
In this agonizingly devastating, too many times repeated, yet grossly ignored fuckery?
Call me crazy, but I think "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." should supersede "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
@ChippySuave funny how the 2A folks insist on skipping over that "well regulated" part. that pretty much says, right there, that the government has the right & responsibility to regulate guns & training
But that's just me.
And besides, we know that that no one in a place of power actually takes this shit seriously enough to care. How can I tell.. look on what we place our emphasis and budgetary dollars.
