    Too many hypocrites blowing the NRA. Too many hypocrites crying mental disorders while not contacting their representatives to make sure that they allocate money towards mental health issues. Nothing is being done about our gun issues nor our mental health issues here in the U.S.. Every single time these mass shootings happen it just exposes your hypocrisy, as well as that of the useless fucks you vote for...

    Don't try to tell me jack shit while you sit on your ass voting for politicians who don't give a flying fuck about Americans safety from mass shootings.

    I'm curious. How many people in this forum contacted their representative(s) over any issue?

    This was not directed towards you @Road Ratt . It's a general question for everyone.

    The Monday after the Texas and Ohio mass murders, Discove magazine arrived with cover story on the science of gun violence. Forwarded to my congressperson, Eric Swalwell.

    As of today, new even looser gun laws go into effect in Texas. NRA called it their dream legislation.

    Too bad there wasn't a good guy with a gun yesterday ... oh, three police officers were shot.

    Why am I not surprised that Trump would say something like that?

    This was not a
    mass shooting. It was a series of individual shootings by a solitary career criminal.
    Something that happens every day of the year in our most facist gun control cities, without media or politicians comments.
    Only a Fake News item because he was white.
    If we’re going to use misleading and politically motivated terminology to brainwash the masses let’s at least go for the appearance of accuracy.
