I do wish he would be removed from his position of power and perhaps be allowed to stumble his way through life in a mediocre job and a very late retirement.or, go to jail, if convicted of treason.

What he deserves is a good bit worse.

That’s why I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
Because my immediate thought is that he does not know what it’s like for those parents whose children aren’t coming home.

I wouldn’t wish any harm to anyone’s children.
Regardless of how guilty and shameless the father is.
Does that clarify?

Will he ever feel that pain? I hope not.

I’m as disgusted as you are with him. I’d love to see him go to jail for treason.

Justice is desirable, but we are all connected to someone.

Well, except for certain lonely boys in a cold society. Some of them seem to be completely lacking in connections.

so just wait patiently until we can go a month without any mass shootings.

"Right now, I think we need to take a breath." The innocent victims of the shooting can't take any more breaths, you pompous ass.

My Rep, a blue Dem from Oregon, stood before us at a town hall after Sandy Hook, and again after Orlando, Florida, and SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS, and said, "NOTHING CAN BE DONE."

I write him after every big shooting (it's hard to keep up with them all) and I never get a response. He was pro silencers, he co-chaired that bill to allow citizen silencers (to protect shooter's hearing, ha ha ha ha).

He is a Dem. A Librul. He is re-elected because the choice is always crazy Art Robinson.

I guess the point is, write and call your Rep, your Senators, even if they are Dems, they are part of the problem too.

I'm willing to compromise with the NRA crowd. My wife (who is from Canada) wishes there were no guns at all. I'm a little more realistic. I know 2nd Amendment, freedom ain't free, USA, USA! and all that. The biggest problem is the semi-auto weapons. Perhaps we can start by getting rid of the worst offender currently out there, the AR-15. If we could get a law passed that said all AR-15s must be shoved up Paul Ryan's ass, I think this country would be a lot safer.

Your thoughts?

The time for that is OVER! Fuck the NRA.

I do agree with you that they need to ban all AR-15's and anything like it. They need to stop selling guns and ammunition online. The second amendment needs to be revised and rewritten.

Children are getting slaughtered every fucking week in this country. We need to stop saying that it's too late to control this.

What's restricted are the magazines; they can only hold 5 rounds, unlike in the US where the sky's the limit.

Oddly enough, there aren't school shootings in Canada.

All those thoughts and prayers must require a LOT energy, and there have been so many shootings, he probably needs a breather before he doles out the next round of thoughts and prayers.
