We’ve all heard the adage, “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”
It has a nice ring to it, but it really doesn’t hold water in the real world, where counties with strict gun laws, e.g., Japan, England, and Australia have very low rates of violent crime.
Note: these countries don’t have an NRA, a fabulously wealthy lobbying organization that controls their lawmaking apparatus.
Moreover, outside the United States, it’s very hard to find a place where a potentially mentally unstable person can go into a store and walk out with a weapon of war, capable of killing 50+ people each minute.
Apparently, this guy believes that the majority of Americans think poorly of Trump supporters, and wonders if this the message we want to send.
News flash: This is precisely the message we want to send.
I wonder what his doctorate is in. Filth? Debauchery? White collar felonies? War crimes?
The idiot’s t-shirt shown here raises the question: How do you define the word “support?”
In a certain sense, I support all countries, insofar as the people living in each deserve to live freely.
As an American, I support the United States. I revere it for its strengths, while I advocate for remedying its considerable set of weaknesses: corruption, injustice, racism, indifference to human suffering, militarism, and greed.
BREAKING: Texas Republicans are flailing after a party nominee posted vile racist commentary and refused to take it back.
