In
the wake of the latest—cuz it won’t be the last—mass shooting, Texas Governor,
and REPUBLICAN, Greg Abbott said he expects new laws to be enacted in
response the Robb Elementary School shooting, and added:
“Do
we expect any laws to come out of this devastating crime? The answer is yes.
Absolutely yes.”
When
asked about calling a special session for the legislature Abbott made no move
on that. He is resistant to measures targeting background checks on guns and
new laws around buying rifles:
“Anyone
who suggests we should focus on background checks instead of mental health, I
suggest to you it is mistaken.”
REPUBLICAN
Governor Greg
Abbott has cut $200,000,000.00 from departments that deal with mental health.
He
has children’s blood on his hands.
We
all know the NRA held one of their terror-paloozas in the wake of the shooting
in Uvalde, but did you know that this vile group, headed by murderer Wayne
LaPierre, as part of its ongoing “Banned Guns Giveaway,” the NRA raffled off a
Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 rifle as 1,000 rounds of ammunition—the same gun used to slaughter children
at Robb Elementary.
A Domestic
Terror Group.
GOP Representative Matt Gaetz tried to answer the question why
anyone not serving in the military would have a need for an AR-15
capable of quickly spewing 300 bullets and he replied:
“Target sport. Self-defense. Hog hunting. Just to name a few…”
Keep in mind that one person who was a survivor of
the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Florida was David Hogg, a gun
activist.
Matt Gaetz is a pig.
New York Congressman, and REPUBLICAN, Chris Jacobs, a
former gun advocate and supporter of the NRA, made a surprising about-face last
week becoming perhaps the first congressional Republican to call for an assault
weapons ban in the wake of the recent mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde,
Texas.
In addition to saying he would vote for a Democratic bill
banning assault weapons, he also said he would support raising the age on some
gun purchases to 21, limiting the capacity of magazines and banning the sale of
military-style body armor to civilians.
Perhaps the tide is turning … ?
Lastly,
President Biden was greeted warmly greeted when he visited Uvalde over the
weekend, while Texas GOP Governor Greg Abbott was loudly booed when he approached
the memorial at Robb Elementary:
“Shame
on you, Abbott!”
“Please,
Governor, help Uvalde County! We need change! Our children don’t deserve this.”
“Our
children are under constant attack in this community. We need help.”
Sadly,
we already know where Abbott stands, so change won’t likely be coming at a
state level, unless the people of Texas vote him out of office.
Vote
every single politician who has blocked gun control legislation, who takes
blood money from the NRA, who suggests arming teachers, giving students
ballistic blankets, or locking all the doors in schools, as a solution to mass
shootings.
CAST
A GODDAMNED VOTE. |
It is telling that one party is more than happy for the massacres to continue; yes, they do have blood on their hands. And it is that party who continually stir the masses into what will become known as the 2nd US Civil War. What price democracy? The children of America pay in their own blood.
ReplyDeleteThere is no excuse for the right and their rationalization of mass shootings.
DeleteI really, really, really hope we see a lot of
ReplyDeletechange in future elections and a lot of change
in gun laws.
xoxo :-)
From your mouth the the voters ears!
Deletexoxo
I can't wait to see what kind of lame "mental health reform" Abbott comes up with.
ReplyDeleteWell, he cut all the funding so I think it'll be a pamphlet.
DeleteKinzinger's ready to vote against assault rifles. Interesting sidenote: Uvalde voted overwhelmingly for Trump, cheered for the Democrat president and booed the Republican governor.
ReplyDeleteKinzinger and Uvalde have learned the hard way about MAGAts.
DeleteI couldn't quite believe the hypocrisy when I read that no guns or knives or other weapons were allowed at the conference part of the NRA convention. I wonder what they were afraid might happen?
ReplyDeleteIronic that the NRA won't allow weapons into their propaganda bash, but schools and malls and churches and grocery stores and theaters it's somehow accepted and expected.
DeleteSo many dead kids in the future 😭
ReplyDeleteWhich means that unless We The People do something about our representatives, the blood will be on our hands, too.
DeleteI'm always in awe of how stupid the Repug voters are. Really. They vote AGAINST their best interests.
ReplyDeleteIf Abbott is re-elected, I'm gonna have a cow. The NRA has bought so many Repugs now their convention looks like the clearance bin at the Dollar store.
XOXO
I keep thinking Abbott has fucked himself, but then I remember ... Taxes.
DeleteOy!

And let us not forget that pig Cruz. Who had the gull to speak at a NRA rally.
DeleteAmen, sweetpea! VOTE xoxo
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am!!!
DeleteFrom here on out, if gun control and its violence and guidelines and more strict regulations aren't met, I will be voting for all new candidates when primaries roll around. I am SO OVER the talk. It's time to take a shit, or get off the pot.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. If they don't want to do the will of the people, the people should clear the slate and start over.
DeleteThree cheers for Chris Jacobs! He will have lost a lot of friends by sticking his neck out like that.
ReplyDeleteP.S. "greeted warmly greeted"... Eh?
