Using common sense seems to elude some...

Yesterday (Wednesday, June 8th) our House of Representatives passed some minor gun safety measurers. While I'm thrilled even that little bit was passed, I am frustrated that more, much more wasn't passed.

Why am I frustrated? Honestly it boils down to this: One party cares about finding ways to stop these killings and the other, regardless of how many die, care about antiquated words and saving their right to own guns that serve no legitimate purpose.

Sadly only one side is doing the killing and that is the same side you think wants to stop it. Funny how that works.

@hippyjoe1955 Maybe you should see the, "Pediatrician Gives Horrific Account of 'Pulverized and Decapitated' Children from Uvalde Shooting." and explain it to their parents ?

@softspokenman (added) On CBS Mornings. News today 6/9/2022 7am MT here. The report was brought up but they didn't want to detail it because it was 'Breakfast' time.
Maybe those GOP Senators who don't want to destroy the 2nd Amendment by putting too many restrictions on gun controls should see the pictures of those children's bodies at Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner until it finally sinks in.

@softspokenman Yeah, Uvalde native (and movie star) Matthew McConaughey mentioned how those 5.56 rounds leave huge exit wounds. Sometimes they had to identify the body thru a bracelet or shoes because there wasn't enough recognizable flesh.

Some kinds of ammo make a clean hole and leave a linear track thru the body. But those kids were shot with soft point or hollow point that expands upon impact and makes a huge nasty bloody mess. It's not a kind of ammo you would use for hunting; you don't want bone fragments all thru your meet or the hide torn up with giant exit wounds. That ammo is specifically designed to kill humans.

@ElwoodBlues I did see that 👍 He also said that his mother taught at a kinder garden about a mile away. 'I am a different man, I've changed, my children have changed...'

Hasn't everyone of us changed since that day ?
