WOW!!! HOUSE DEMOCRATS STAGE A SIT-IN FOR GUN VIOLENCE

THIS is what happens when you let a bunch a black and brown folk in government! They start causing a ruckus!


HA!!!!!!


I hear the republicans are busy trying to turn off the cameras. But I hope something comes of this. I hope the sit-in continues for as long as necessary.

But if it's only a symbolic sit in and very temporary --John Lewis who must be 70 years old -- then it's an important symbol.

I hope the spectacle they make of themselves is big enough to put the pressure on republicans. I hope real gun control reform is not going to take what I'm pretty sure it's gonna take.

GAY NIGHTCLUB SHOOTING AND SANDY HOOK

"The senior law enforcement source told The Daily Beast that Mateen was born in New York and was married for a time to a woman from New Jersey. 

That woman told the Washington Post that he repeatedly abused her during their marriage, which lasted from April 2009 to July 2011.

“He was not a stable person,” the ex-wife said. “He beat me. He would just come home and start beating me up because the laundry wasn’t finished or something like that.”

Mateen's parent are from Afghanistan but he was not very religious, she said, adding that he "seemed like a normal human being."

According to the report, at the link below, by Evan Perez, FBI had investigated this man in the past. He was known to have extremist ties. But he wasn't the central focus of the investigations. His name simply came up.

However, he was working as a private security guard for a company that has contracts to protect federal buildings near the area where he lives, Fort Pierce, Florida. The fact that he had this job allowed him to buy guns, within the last few weeks, with minimal questions asked.

I haven't confirmed it yet, but I read on a blog that the same gun used at this night club shooting was used at Sandy Hook and San Bernadino.  I was going to chase this fact down but it doesn't matter. This man had easy access to a weapons and bullets after being investigated by the FBI.

I wonder if the people sitting in NRA Headquarters are still mocking President Obama almost coming to tears when he couldn't get gun legislation past Congress -- after two dozen children were shot, after those college girls were shot, after those Sikhs in the temple were shot,  after that girl that performed at his Inauguration, Hadiya Pendleton was shot.

I don't know if this could have been prevented by gun control. But I know for sure it could have been made a hell of a lot harder but for some game playing in Washington D.C.

Part of the reason we couldn't get any real gun legislation after Sandy Hook was due to the republicans pact to not let this President, who happens to be black, was because of a republican congress that vowed to not let the President get anything past them.

These people won't even let him staff the Supreme Court. It's starting to look like the Supreme Court is going to remain incomplete for a full year.  (And I will be checking to see if this has happened to a white president before--for THIS LONG.)

But this time, like last time and the time before that, lack of gun control is 90% about what it's always about --the power of gun lobbyists and the NRA.

And now my wondering has taken me even further down the rabbit hole. Is it possible that even the FBI is afraid of the NRA? With all the powers the federal government got under President Bush, after 9/11, to invade our privacy on the left, on the right, and in the center-- the FBI didn't get the right to limit someone's second amendment rights? Not even someone with "extremist ties?"

Are the gun lobby and the NRA that powerful?

Some gun enthusiasts I've spoken to know that much longer waiting periods are reasonable. So it's time for the non-crazy gun lovers to create another gun organization in answer to the NRA. Because 50 gay people shouldn't be dead right now, not at the end of an gun you can just go to the store and buy more easily than you can buy a car.

The only thing that might explain, to a reasonable person, why the FBI doesn't have the right to remove a person's second amend rights -- now that our privacy is all but gone -- would be if they were conducting an undercover investigation of Mateen.

But even that's beside the point.

I still want to know if the FBI has the power to take away the second Amendment rights of a suspected terrorist, even temporarily.  How could that be less important than the ability to spy on everybody at will?

President Obama's Speech On Gun Control and Sandy Hook from 

COCKS NOT GLOCKS PROTEST AT UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS

JESSICA JIN'S
OPEN CARRY DILDO PROTEST
IN RESPONSE TO
OPEN CARRY GUN LAWS
ON CAMPUS





Feeling Rebloggy!

"AUSTIN - Hundreds of students at the University of Texas at Austin will protest a new law that will allow more guns on campus not with signs or sit-ins, but by "strapping gigantic swinging dildos to our backpacks."

Their mantra? #CocksNotGlocks

Jessica Jin, who set up the "Campus (DILDO) Carry" event on Facebook, invokes the argument that allowing more guns on campus will make students safe is a fallacy. She's urging students to send campus leaders that message by strapping on the plastic phalluses."

Hmmm. I wonder if the heterosexual men will have the stones to join this protest?
