….and I’ll bet you don’t either. There is NO fucking excuse for their circulation outside of the military and the police. NONE. And there’s only one side of the political spectrum that pretends otherwise. They have no rational argument to make to me and most other Americans anymore.
Most especially based upon some ‘Red Dawn’ wet dreams about screaming WOVERINES!! Which is mostly what it’s about; wannabe tough guys who missed their opportunity.
F*ck ‘em, all of ‘em, if it means helping to keeping someone else’s kids alive.

I Walked Into A Tent Full Of HUMAN HAMBURGER Nearly 50 Years Ago In Vietnam. Here Is What I Saw.
Warning - What I am about to say may be too strong for some here. I support complete ban on military weapons. Turn them all in.
Timeline - Vietnam near Khe Sahn probably early March 1968 at a place called LZ Stud. Right after the 1st night of Operation Pegasus the next morning I got news that we had many casualties in our battalion. I was in Bravo 1st of the 5th Cavalry - 1st Cavalry Division.
We had just been shelled that morning by the North Vietnamese. Took a number of rounds and some were within yards. Was pretty shook up at the time.
Later that morning my 1st Sergeant and told us that our Captain had been wounded and 2 or 3 from his squad had been killed. Our Battalion Commander had been shot down. All killed except XO who had been captured and tortured. Battalion had numerous casualties. Perhaps 30 KIA.
NOW FOR THE KICKER. Sgt Rios informed me that I was to go down to graves registration to ID our dead from the Captain's HQ squad. NOTHING could prepare me for my new experience. I walked down to the graves reg area and there was a tent 10-40 feet. I was accompanied by an NCO and brought into this tent with 30 bodies laying side by side.
What I saw was beyond terrible. One body the solider had no face. Had been hit by shrapnel. Others were missing various limbs. Very few were even recognizable. There was blood everywhere on the ground. Uniforms were in tatters. The bodies had been brought in just like they were found. Many bodies were severely mangled looked like road kill. It was sickening far beyond belief.
I could only ID one of ours who I barely knew. At least his face was intact. But he was dead from an abdominal wound. The rest is more or less of a blur. After 50 years thankfully you forget a lot of details. These massacres bring back that day more than anything else. So I have NO MERCY for these gun nuts if they shoot themselves. They are the problem as is the NRA and GOP.
I lost my temper when I came out and threw my helmet at a nearby jeep cussing a blue streak only to be chastised by my first sergeant. He really pissed me off. I have never been more angry, sick and shaken in my life since.
I have not thought much about this scene until this massacre. I had similar thoughts with Newton. I know what happens to people when they are massacred first hand.. These crime scenes are exactly like what I saw 50 years ago. These children, these kids and these people are casualties of war waged by the GOP and NRA. And what I remember is just absolutely the worst horror and we have that same horror now just about every day. .
The trouble is the real results of these shootings are so sanitized and the victims so completely and deliberately hidden. I am so mad I would lock also those GOP bastards in their chamber against their will and FORCE them to look at every single body photo until they throw up.
America should be finished with being nice and civil. When the RW, GOP and NRA attacks we should wither them with political counter fire. We need to demonstrate and try to shut them down cold.
When the hell is enough enough. Start demanding and pushing back hard and without mercy. They won't stop going after these kids. It is up so sane adults to shut these people up and rout them politically. Harass them for a change on social media.
Sorry for being so combative, but what are we to do now that we are seeing these kids being viciously attacked. We are NOT going to change the GOP mind on this issue.
