How long before a march on Washington for gun control? For voting rights? For fair wages? How long before republicans decide that their representatives aren’t doing the job they were elected to do?

Thank you for sharing! It is truly amazing that even gun advocates do not feel reform is needed after such continued tragedies. Do we really need AR-15's for hunting, safety, etc.. How can someone getting a background check be partisan? Do we want items that kill in the hands of mentally unstable individuals? Not being facetious, but someone like Boebart or MTGreen? They are on the wrong side, in my opinion, and the time for change is now. If they stand in the way, I pray that sane individuals will halt them in their tracks and stomp them out.

As you have pointed out, Steven, "Yet my terrible, awful, no good worry is that even now, even with a new administration and a president who yearns for change, we still haven’t learned enough to fix what so obviously needs fixing. That’s not just wrong, it drives me more than a little bit crazy". When is enough, enough? This is sickening.

In China, South Korea, and Japan where guns are banned from society, these angry "incels"

(seething-mad "involuntary celibates" unable to attract girlfriends because of their personal "creep" factor) go into kindergarten and elementary schools and mass stab to death children to take revenge against society. These Asian mass murders happen at about the same rate as mass killings with guns in America. This murderous rage toward society is analogous to Democrat Cancel Culture's impulse to destroy lives and careers of others who offer political opinion different from their own. Our Statist Steven of this newsletter apparently suggests "Government Cancel Culture Action" against America's social problems such as taking away American's right to self defense against wild-eyed incels. I, however, submit the only real government solution is NOT to take away America's guns needed for self-defense against incels run amok, but to create a government program where white Biden-supporting women and men that are hosting social justice-oriented blogs voluntarily offer themselves sexually to frustrated incels in exchange for student loan forgiveness. Yes, we are all frustrated with Biden's un-original and unconstitutional solution of just taking away guns needed for self-defense against horney incels. Steven, I also share your frustration with Biden not stepping up to the plate. Have you thought about yourself taking the reins of action by giving an angry male incel some love and affection? Maybe you already do. And there is nothing wrong with that in my book. Consider it a "Peace Corp" type of community service action making America great again under Biden. And thank you for sharing and caring.

This intransigence about guns has been allowed to fester and grow because politically ambitious elected representatives

fostered it. The reason they fostered it is

because they had, and still have, a political agenda that is at odds with what most Americans want. So in order to get votes they pandered to every extremist group in America, including the NRA, evangelicals,

and Americans who are determined to turn back the clock to the 1950s known as the Tea Party.

Now republicans have an out of control mess on their hands. Majordomo Mitch

thought he could control it and by controlling it deliver what his wealthy benefactors wanted. Gun control is just one of many immoral and even criminal activities

fostered by a corrupt political party that doesn’t even notice that kind of activity any more.

It’s so far out of control that many believe the GOP is dead and gone. Every crackpot in America is welcomed by what used to be the republican party. Did one or two of their new members call for the Speaker’s death? Why, yes they did. Did they participate in the 1/6/21 insurrection against our gov’t? Again, yes. Were they disciplined by their party? No, not really. They took their oath of office and were seated in the House where every working day they are dealing with the very leader they want dead.

No person with an ounce of decency would

have allowed Bobert & Greene to be seated

in the House with no repercussions. Those women should be in jail awaiting trial, not

representing a constituency in our federal government that they tried to violently overthrow!

But now, republicans apparently think allowing every crackpot in America to

do unspeakable damage isn’t helping their hidden agenda fast enough so they decided

to just outright remove the constitutionally

protected right to vote. Worst of all, they

don’t seem to believe there’s anything wrong with that!
