Today, SCOTUS ruled 6-3 against gun safety…just let that sink in for a minute.

The incredible two faced statements (and yes, this brings in the likely overturn of Roe v. Wade) about states having the right to make critical decisions (and yes, we also know what “states rights” is a euphemism for) yet, in this case, what they did was the exact opposite of even that. The ruled that the NY STATE law placing restrictions on carrying handguns outside the home was NOT a choice NY could make.

THIS ruling, during a time where the majority of the nation is behind some sort of increased firearm safety is like the 6 of 9 flipping their collective middle fingers at the nation. Blood is still fresh from one of the most recent school massacres yet, these self important baboons have decided that NY does not have the state’s right to limit handgun carry. Explain that to me please.

Let’s recap here…highly trained and armed professional law enforcement officers in Uvalde, Texas took a long time to enter a building where ONE person in body armor had an assault rifle and was massacring elementary school children and teachers, yet, from on high, they rule it’s ok to allow more opportunity to carry weapons. Explain that to me please.

The NRA has bought and paid for enough legislators to prevent any substantial move forward toward safety to line their own pockets, basically 10-12 people are holding a nation of 329.5 MILLION people hostage on this. If we were even split 50-50 on this issue (and we are not….not by a long shot) that would mean those 12 people speak for .000008% of the population. For those who sat on the OJ jury where the DNA evidence numbers were similar in how small a probability there was that he didn’t do it, by any concept this number rounds to ZERO…think on that and Explain that to me please.

We live in a time where a coup was attempted and damn near succeeded, and those involved are still working like crazy to make sure it does happen again. We are closer to a Theocracy (looking at you here Amy C-B) than we are to a Democracy and yet, while anything resembling common sense and clarity and very, very exact pieces of evidence, written, video, verbal have been presented, those same bought and paid for folks are the diametric opposites of the representatives from the last similar run only 50 years ago. Folks who then put their nation and their democracy ahead of their own selfish motives. We don’t seem to be in that place any longer. Explain that to me please.

I don’t get it…and I’m afraid for this nation, for my children, for my grandchildren. It’s not too late but I don’t know how we get past this and survive. Explain THAT to me please.
