JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS 2022/23

 Remember back in 2013 when I published this post about the ridiculousness of American gun laws and the manufacturers' disregard for the safety of children?

DONKEYSTONE CHRISTMAS


Well, guess what? America hasn't got any better and it may well have got worse with the radicalisation of the right wing Republican party. Have a look at what this idiot has been saying:

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE

ARM THE LITTLE SCHOOL KIDS WITH AUTOMATIC RIFLES

Yes, you read that correctly. It's not a joke. That very dumb Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks that arming children with the kiddie-version JR-15 assault rifle would be a good idea and enable the little guys to take out the 'bad man' armed with an AR-15.

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene says that the elementary school students killed during the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, earlier this year could have "defended themselves" had they been armed with assault weapons marketed to children.

"The kids at Uvalde needed JR-15s to defend themselves from the evil maniac that didn't care about laws," Greene tweeted while sharing a photo of Pelosi next to a JR-15 poster during the House hearing. "At least they could have defended themselves since no one else did, while their parents were held back by police."

This woman is nuts but sadly is just the voice of a lot of very, very stupid people.

That's the most stupid thing I've heard since Mohamad rode up to Heaven on a horse. Actually, it's even more stupid.

INSANE!

Yes. There are no surprises that Greene represents the political party that Robert favours.
She also advocates the Republican Party becoming a Christian national party with supporters having to be Christian - no agnostics, atheists or people of other religions. It's shades of The Handmaid's Tale.

"Don't take me wrong but ..."

Sick.

Sorry, but I don't think you are on the same planet that I live on. It's attitudes like yours that perpetuate this nonsense and blame it on social media, video gaming and 'negative' influences without admitting that individual responsibility and proper parenting should intervene.
Oh, and dare I mention, apologists like you normally back it up with crap like "it's all god's plan" and "we'll say some prayers" when things go bad. Give me a break.


Anyway ..... nice to have you back.

And, by the way Robert, I think you totally miss the point of how dangerous that 'arming the kiddies' stance that Taylor-Greene and the Republican party have adopted is.

Fuck Rob, that's sick.

"It's attitudes like yours that perpetuate this nonsense and blame it on social media, video gaming and 'negative' influences without admitting that individual responsibility and proper parenting should intervene."

I totally agree.
