Rep. Billy Long (R-MO) blames gun violence on abortion: "Something has happened to our society. I go back to abortion, when we decided it was okay to murder kids in their mothers' wombs. Life has no value to a lot of these folks."
Emphasis mine.
Because of course 🧐
GOP Congressman Blames Shootings on Abortion: 'Life Has No Value to a Lot of These Folks'
Long replied that there had been a Zoom called on the Senate side of the debate that yielded little. He said gun control isn’t the solution.
“Unfortunately, they’re trying to blame inanimate objects for all of these tragedies, and there’s so many things that can be done,” he said, claiming that schools could be better designed to prevent mass death.

They have got this down pat, right? Holding two uniquely converse positions but hey, still sells to the MAGA low hanging IQ fruit, far right cray cray market place of deadly danger.
AND POINT>>>>>>>
You just know that the Karen here demanding teachers risk their lives for her kids, has also gone to demonstrations to ban CRT in schools and is all about don't say gay and calling teachers groomers because they teach facts to their kids.
Teaching is a vocation - not that the morons who are trying to force teachers to be armed would have a scooby about that, because they would not know anything but self promotion and grift if it jump up and bit that on their kleptocratic white supremacist theocratic old white arses.
It would be OK if their ridiculousness was not so frigging deadly

I was watching the news tonight and they were talking about the horrific stat that in the US the leading cause of death for children is gun violence. Not cancer, not traffic accidents, not tiny fingers in electrical sockets, not stranger danger, not family violence. In America - your child is more likely to die by gun violence than any other cause of childhood death. Do you know how crazy that sounds to everyone in the West? This is a public health emergency.
Oh and the pro life crowd can fuck off right off. They will happy allow the slaughter of babies as long as they have living breathing heart beat.
When the leading cause of death in children is gun violence this is not a 2nd amendment issue it...

Drum roll please for the winner of the May photography contest
Wonderful competition as always. The theme was "I pulled over for this shot." Grumpy Old Guy was the theme decider and he did good.
In first place is HAB911 with the splendid Main Supply Route 1, Tongil-ro (Unification Road) DMZ to Seoul, Bukhan Mountain
Number two goes to Walleye with a stunning Winter Solstice Sunset, Philadelphia Pike, Wilmington, Delaware
And my personal favourite that came in third, by, WiVoter with a Upnorth Wisconsin Double Rainbow composition.
I am sure that you all want to give congrats.
And to everyone that took the time to get involved and to comment, the Photography Group thanks you. Please watch out for HABS theme for next month.
Please show appreciation in your marvellous DU way in the comments! Hurrah!

Of course. UGH.
Meanwhile a headline in the daily mail today be like...
But hey that is OK cause as the 1950's tell us:
Get into the kitchen and push out those puppies as the fascist theocratic state demands, if they get their way.
Far right theocratic cray cray are gong to have forced birth by any means necessary. No contraception, no sex outside marriage, forced birth in all circumstances. When are these nutters going to realise that the Handmaid Tale is not a rule book to live by? Or trying to mirror some of the controls the Taliban impose on women is not a good luck.

Prepare the children.
‘Take a few minutes to wash the children’s hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.’
