When you build a country
on a foundation of violence,
it’s not surprising that
some of their citizens will turn
that rage inward and start killing
innocent people, just because
it’s so easy to buy the guns to do it.

But what we are seeing lately

is a gun culture out of control,

and no united political will to
do something about it.

Too bad, because at one time
America was a country that actually
showed the world what a true
democracy was about.

The only way anything is going to
change is by eqiuipping a Democratic
government with the votes it needs
to amend the gun laws.

The Republicans have already proven
they don't give a damn, which really is
nothing less than inhuman.
