calimary's Journal22-part. Enough for an entire TV season.
How about un-gag the doctors.
Now, it's actually a law that's preventing doctors from discussing gun ownership with their patients, if there are guns in their homes, how it's a health and safety hazard.
I attended a lecture by a UCLA researcher who said the absolute hardest part of her job was data collection. Policy-makers are hampered by the lack of data collection because statistics cannot be collected and trends cannot be detected or tracked. It's not even possible to STUDY gun violence because data collection is obstructed.
Besides, I didn't know some 2nd-Amendment-Remedy Congressperson was allowed to practice medicine without a license - which it can be argued he or she can do, by legally muzzling doctors from fully and honestly serving their patients this way.
As I understand it, the Feinstein bill called for anyone on the No-Fly list any time within the
last five years, whether they were/are on it now or not. That WOULD have stopped Omar Mateen. He would have satisfied that stipulation.
Not sure I get how it was disparaging. I didn't intend it that way.
I have a good friend who is STILL getting over a loss - 22 years later.
Hell, I'm certainly no angel. I'M still trying to get over Selection 2000 and not managing that anywhere nearly successfully. And it wasn't even MY own personal loss.
Well, hey, these things take time.
Nobody I know of has an "on/off switch", except for the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" android, Data.
I appreciate seeing this from Senator Sanders. Full disclosure - I've been hoping he'd start moving in that direction. He may be working through letting himself down, easy, too. After all, most of us deal with reversals in private. But it's gotta be murder to face this stuff when it's all over the front pages and leading every hour in round-the-clock cable news.
I'm in California. But he sure represents me!
Called his office and told them so.
John Lewis is a giant among men - and women, too, for that matter. The more I learn about him, the more in awe I am.
Happy to add - my Congressman, Ted Lieu, was there, too. I called his office and they told me that.

Let them know you have their back!

Not to this Hillary supporter.
It sounded like Bernie was being realistic.
It sounded like he's actually taking some steps toward reconciliation, and helping his followers to assist with the biggest and most important job of all - making sure NO republi-CON takes the White House - whether it's Donald Trump or whoever the GOP refuseniks try to install as their nominee instead. It's realistic and wise. Perhaps he's just needed time to start coming to terms with things.
Whether some folks realize it or not, with the reality as it currently is, the best way to get Bernie's views flowing into real policy is to make sure the Democratic designated hitter, in this case HRC, is elected President.
Anybody think a President Trump would take any interest in that?
