I'm not against guns, but I feel in a modern society (where our kids lives are at stake) assault weapons are weapons of mass destruction.
Some states are trying to end Planned Parenthood if the are dumb & insensitive enough do it, it should be replaced it with planned adulthood.
Congress has been afraid to pass background check gun laws, because of the slippery slope. Pretty soon we'll want background checks on them.
planned adulthood I'd like that!
ReplyDeleteIt should be a requirement for work in our government.
DeleteThe politicians should be held to the same amount of invasive policies as a minimum wage worker-drug tests and background checks and credit checks as well.
ReplyDeleteThey should also get IQ tests. Or get checked to make sure they're not sociopaths.
Deleteha. true on those background checks...thats funny...can you do a background check on pond sludge? smiles...crazy on planned parenthood too...
ReplyDeleteWe've gone so far backward as a country and it's against what the majority wants! We are primary and corporate driven.
DeleteThey'd just fake the background check anyway
ReplyDeleteThen we should fake vote for them.
DeleteThere really should be some sort of class you must take and pass to enter adulthood.
ReplyDeleteI'd be left back, but still ahead of most of our politicians.
DeleteWhy aren't there new people who want to run for office? We see the same faces, taking a cooling-off rest but then coming back again.
ReplyDeleteIt's because of the primary system, where only the real zealots vote, especially in the conservative south. Also big money, for the most part, only supports candidates that have regressive agendas -- so they can get richer. They also want to keep the electorate uniformed to they can keep getting the people to vote against themselves. It's a sham.
DeleteSome people would never pass planned adulthood
ReplyDeletePeople would never be able to pass it, that's why.
DeleteI just don't understand the opposition to background checks...it makes no sense whatsoever to me.
ReplyDeleteIf you have nothing to hide, and you want to lesson the opportunity for our children to be at risk from the insane, there is not a reason on earth not to have background checks, except for greed.
DeleteI also truly don't get the opposition to background checks.
DeleteOh, and I must also say I'm a conservative.
DeleteYou're a smart sensible conservative. If we have more smart sensible politicians on both sides of the aisle we might even get something done.
Deleteassault weapons is when the conservatives (should lose but rarely don't) all respect when it comes to their "guns are self-defense" logic. When that last time a guy carrying an AR-15 saved a life in the cities of America?
ReplyDeleteIf you need an assualt rifle for self-defense, you don't have a weapons problem you need to move somewhere else.
You really put it all down and I agree completely.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, idiots are also weapons of mass destruction.
ReplyDeleteI agree. They are worse.
DeleteYes, I vote for Planned Adulthood, background checks on everyone who plans to become an adult, and prohibit them from ever owning an assault weapon.
ReplyDeletexoRobyn
If you're an adult you shouldn't want an assault weapon.
ReplyDeleteA background check should be welcome, as far as I'm concerned. Slippery slope is a term that just doesn't fit in that sentence to me, 'common sense' does though.
ReplyDeleteCommon sense is something our political system no longer has room for.
DeleteAssault weapons are needless to everyone except those in law enforcement and the military as far as I can see. But.... they do get into the wrong hands
