Fuck Your Second Amendment [UPDATED]
The project to reinterpret the English language in order to create a militarized America just got 19 elementary school kids and two teachers murdered.
An elementary school.
Someone saw Sandy Hook and thought “that should happen again.”
We don’t know details, but in Texas, you can more or less buy an AR-15 in a 7-11 if you are 18 years old and have a pulse.
All of this, because we have allowed these words to be intentionally perverted:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The corrupt Supreme Court, controlled by doomsday christofascists, think that means that we should allow this:
The Founders would have vomited at this sight and wondered what went so wrong with the country they envisioned. Did a well-regulated militia murder these kids?
This is going to continue to get worse. We have gotten ourselves into this situation. There are 300 million guns. I’m afraid we’re going to have to fight our way out of this.
💔
PS Never forget.
Chris Murphy is raining righteous fury down on the floor of the Senate.
“WHY ARE WE HERE?”
Fred Guttenberg is a national treasure.
UPDATE: It keeps getting worse. Nineteen children and two adults now. And an ocean of trauma radiating around this crime and ruining lives. Goddammit.
UPDATE 2: Of course it was an AR-15. This piece of shit bought TWO.
Fred Guttenberg just said the NRA Convention is being held in Texas on Friday. What I wouldn’t do for a very small, well-placed comet.
My friend was nearly killed at Sandy Hook. Now this. I can’t take this anymore. I’ve applied for Italian citizenship through my ancestors and it’s pretty much guaranteed. I should receive it about the time when I’m ready to do my PhD. I will go to Europe to do my doctorate and then teach over there. I’m not going to leave my home every morning wondering if my spouse and I will ever see each other again. Jim said to have a plan at the ready. I have mine. Do you have yours?
This isn't a joke it's a said truth. If someone wants to go shot innocent people with a fucking AR-15 then join the fucking U.S. military. They'll pay you, give you medals, and some will even treat you like a fucking hero when you come home. As a hunter and someone who grew up on a farm theirs no civilian use for an AR-15, the supreme court has ruled that "The Well Regulated Militia" is called the National Guard.
