    I don’t think you’re giving our congresspeople enough credit. Neither half of our legislature would vote a bill containing gun safety education and mental health services into law. Their aim with gun control laws is not to prevent child death from firearms.

    I disagree that it’s just peachy that we live in the prototype fascist state, still going strong, but the rest of what you said is true.

      I certainly didn’t think I’d ever be Daffy Duck in the “wabbit season/duck season” gag, but here we are. While I (now) understand the point you are trying to make, I do not agree that this is the future envisioned by those who created our nation and system of government, and thus I must disagree that this is functioning as intended.

        Which version of that bit are you referencing? I know of three and they all end differently…

        You’re right though, the framers of our constitution would be appalled that women, the unlanded and blacks were extended the franchise.
