50 Dead - 53 Injured

50 Dead - 53 Injured

In my blogs I try to not pick sides, but today's disaster reminds me of my deep feelings that have to come out even though I know some or even many of you will not agree with me.

In case you haven't gotten out of bed yet, a terrorist went into an Orlando Gay nightclub and with a legal assault rifle killed 50 people and injured 53 more. Not only was this an inconceivable and cowardly ISIS terrorist crime it was a hate crime.

For this to happen, many people are to blame. The government interviewed and ignored this man even though they knew he was an ISIS sympathizer.  The laws of America allowed this man to legally purchase two guns and an assault rifle two days before he murderer 50 wonderful US citizens. 

The people who knew him had to know he was not only dangerous, but that he had hatred in his heart for the LGBT community. Not one of these people spoke out. Probably some of them agreed with his inhuman positions.

Lastly, what is wrong with the American people that we continue to allow laws that make it easy for someone to get an assault rifle? This is a weapon designed to create mass killings by the military. There is absolutely NO reason for any individual or any very small group to have these weapons.

I don't like guns period, but if this person was only allowed to get a gun or two, the carnage would have been much, much less.

The Gun Lobby will say that guns don't kill - people do. When it comes to assault weapons I'm calling bullshit. The Gun Lobby hides behind the Constitution and says everybody has the right to bear arms. Let's get real here, that Constitution was written when the most dangerous weapon was a rifle that had to be reloaded one shot at a time. The Gun Lobby will say this man would find another way to get an assault rifle. That is an insane reason to make it legal.

It's time the American people modify or restate that part of the Constitution. If we have the will, it can be done - For The Good Of The People!

I'm outraged and I'm taking out my anger on the America people. Most Republican politicians agree with the Gun Lobby. Most Democrat politicians are so afraid of losing money or votes they look the other way. 

The bottom line is, WE THE PEOPLE, vote for these politicians. WE THE PEOPLE, know it's wrong, but we continue to let it happen over and over again. The time is NOW for us to  wake-up, open our windows so all our neighbors can hear us and with our voice and our votes shout out:

I'm Mad As Hell And I'm Not Going To Take It Anymore!!!
