Trump Bails On Gun Reform!

Trump is caving to pressure from the NRA.
Donald J. Trump has once again caved to the National Rifle Association. He and the Republicans have masterfully distracted us from the real threat to the United States.

The Republicans are slow walking on this. Guess who they're blaming on this.

Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke.

The imbecile was asked on Fox News about whether he might move on the measures recommended by the Justice Department, which would expand background checks to all advertised commercial sales.

"Part of the problem that we have is because of Beto O'Rourke's statement about taking away guns," Trump said. "A lot of Republicans and some Democrats now are afraid to do anything, to go down that slippery slope. A lot of people think this is just a way of taking away guns and that's not good, because we're not going to allow that."

Trump reiterated that he is a "strong believer in the Second Amendment." The president, who in 2018 boasted about his willingness to stand up to the National Rifle Association, had this to say when asked whether he would go against the NRA's wishes with regard to gun control policy:

"I am, if it's not going to hurt a good, solid, great American citizen from keeping his weapon because they want that and they are entitled to that. We have a Second Amendment. I don't want to have crazy people have guns. I don't want to have bad people have guns, but we're going to do nothing to hurt the Second Amendment, and what we want to do is see if we can come up with a compromise, and that's what we're working on."

The junk food media is covering the "whistleblower" and the possibility of war with Iran.

Despite this, we still keep it moving. We want to continue to acknowledge that gun violence is an everyday problem here in the United States.
Beto O'Rourke continues a difficult fight to get the AK-47 and AR-15 off the streets.
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't heal the wounded or bring back the dead. All we're doing is offering platitudes and phony sympathy. Every time I hear a lawmaker or agitator in the junk food media say "My heart goes out to the victim.....," I just want to scream in their faces. I want to say to them with no remorse:

FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN OFFER PLATITUDES. QUIT USING RELIGION AND THIS "GOD" TO SOLVE A MAN-MADE CRISIS.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.


The Sandy Hook Promise group have released a controversial video.

Anti-gun violence advocacy group Sandy Hook Promise has released its latest public service announcement kicking off the new school year with a dark twist. The new digital-focused PSA, titled "Back-To-School Essentials," seemingly mimics a typical back-to-school ad with students showing off their new gear like backpacks and binders for the year.

As the ad progresses, however, the students appear to be caught up in an all-too-familiar crisis that numerous children across the country have experienced — running from an apparent school shooter in their brand-new sneakers, tying a door closed with the sleeves of a new jacket, or arming themselves with school supplies purchased for art class.

"Survive the school year with these must-have back to school essentials," Sandy Hook Promise writes in a release promoting the PSA.
