A Message for the NRA: - a photo on Flickriver

Sometimes, I think people living in different countries think that Americans are all violent, gun starved violent individuals.

That's not really how I see it. America is large...I mean, really large but geographically and also population wise. So, in any large group of people you are going to have a few people who are mentally ill.

It's true that in the US, many of the services for the mentally ill have been slashed. They just aren't really all that important to either local or federal governments. They'd literally rather see people die. It solves the problem of our depleting resources.

But, it's also true that our government representatives have been largely all bought off by the NRA and. increasingly more we're finding out that NRA was a vehicle to launder money from Russia in the last election. So, we have a President who stole the election who wants Americans to die again. What was that slogan again..was it Make America Die Again? It may have also been Make America White Again. That would also apply.

In any case, most Americans aren't violent hungry individual frothing at the mouth to get their hands on extreme assault artillery. Most Americans just feel out of control by the GOP: Guns Over People party.

This is the same party that, after what recently happened in Parkland, Florida, with yet another school shooting with mass casualties, thought the idea of arming teachers when they don't even have pencils would solve the problem. It won't. Let's not try to just throw guns at the problem. That's just more money in their pockets, though, of course.

Here's a link about that dark money going through the NRA and Russia if you want to know more:
