Every mass shooting I hear the same lies of “unpredictable,” “impossible to foresee,” yet I and millions of others predicted and knew it would happen anytime. The love affair with guns and money are an unstable intoxicating brew of money and politics. Legislatures of state and national level being bought and paid for by the NRA and gun manufacturers by Citizen United dark money explains why we are here now.

The hidden ways of money moving in the pockets of blood-soaked politicians that are paid to look the other way is sad and perverse. Acting like we can’t do anything to stop murders from happening at will of anyone, anywhere is more than galling. No, this nation was not built on the back of gun owners, it was by and on the backs of slaves being held by people with arms and power.

The “freedom” 2nd Amendment enthusiast claim to love requires everyone else that doesn’t openly carry weapons of war is a military state.

That celebration of the back-to-back Champion Kansas Chiefs where the latest argument between two parties became massacre.

It killed one and injured 21 with 800 officers on the streets and snipers on the roofs that stopped nothing.

If over 800 police can be on the streets and dozens above it, more guns are not the answer.
