I just thought of something and I really hope I am totally wrong here.
The USA has been really, really hit hard by shooting deaths. We literally have hundreds here every day I believe. Because our ancient constitution says something about a well regulated militia having tbhe right to bear arms some seem to think that everyone has this right to carry guns around with no limits. Finally many have had enough especially after a elementary school was shot up by a guy with an assault rifle and an extended clip with 30 rounds.
In most states people can go into a gun show and buy these guns without a background check. Buying online can also avoid a background check. The arguments are that we should not allow the extended clips and that everyione buying a gun should have a background check. Most of the arguments against are just stupid such as the slippery slope argument saying any new restrictions will lead to more. Others say that the new laws would not help so why do anything basically.. The real issue is that the gun lobbiests such as the NRA totally own the Republican party. Over 80% of people in the country agree that these checks should be put into place but a few politicians owned by the gun lobby in a few right wing areas will just not let it happen so far.
Today I was thinking of how the entire country was really pushing hard for gun restrictions. It has been a major topic lately and it seems that momentum has been moving this issue forward. Now the gun issue is totally forgotten and we are all distracted by the horrificv events in Boston that occurred yesterday. The thing is that many people were deeply impacted by the school shooting in Sandy hook CT which is about 30 miles away from where I type this. As time passes though people tend to weaken. I would not put it past some gun rights extremist to do something like this to get the discussion off of guns. Some of these people are downright crazy and talk about going to war over their supposed rights to carry weapons around.
I do hope I am wrong.. My thinking though is that another attack from Al quada or a group like that would surely claim responsibility. So far nobody has claimed responsibility for this attack.
Who ever did this, I wonder how they feel knowing that many of the injure3d were just kids...as was one of the dead. I wonder how they feel aboiut killing a little boy of 8 years old. In addition 8 people have lost limbs. Nearly 150 were injred and some were injured to a point that will change their lives for ever. It takes a real ***** to plant a bomb like this. If you want to fight us than have some balls and do it face to face. If the attack is indeed by a religous organization than they should have God with them.. Surely they should not have to plant bombs and hide like pussies with God on their side...
I really can't wait until they find whom ever did this. While I do not agree in state sponsored murder via the death penalty I would be glad to stab this person or people through the heart myself.
Too all of you right wingers that only complain about taxes.... Be happy that your cuts did not impact our first responders.
