Don't Come Crying to Me [View all]

There is only one party passing legislation that makes access to weapons easier. If you vote Republican and lose a spouse, a loved one, a best friend, or a child to gun violence, don't come crying to me - you got what you voted for.

If you are scared shitless every time your children go off to school, or your wife goes shopping, or your grandma goes to church because they could be gunned-down in a mass shooting, if you vote Republican, don't come crying tp me - you got what you voted for.

If you piss yourself with fear every time your unhinged, gun-toting neighbour complains that your kids are annoying him, or he doesn't like your 'attitude', if you vote Republican, don't come crying tp me - you got what you voted for.

If you live in a constant state of fear and anxiety because you don't know if the next shot fired will take out your spouse, your sibling, or even your own child, if you vote Republican, don't come crying tp me - you got what you voted for.

I am out of sympathy for those who vote FOR the party that put weapons in the hands of the lunatics that murdered their loved ones. I am out of tears for those who bury their own children as a direct result of their own votes.

So don't come crying to me - now or ever. There is only one party ensuring that death by gun violence is somehow acceptable.

If you vote Republican, you might want to consider - as the next casket is lowered into the grave - that you are as complicit in that death as those you voted for.
