and I've been around since the early Vietnam protests. That young lady is an inspiration to our nation.
Perhaps.....PERHAPS... this nation can finally come to realize what is needed to be done regarding guns....

1. BANNING Assault rifles. No questions asked; you own one, you are subject to 10 years imprisonment
2. REGISTRATION of EACH and EVERY gun you own.
3. INSURANCE for each weapon you own. Just like your car, you need to have it registered and insured.
4. Federal investigation of the causes of gun violence. CDC report.
5. REPEAL of gun manufactures insulation from lawsuit from the effects of their product.
6. DECLARING the NRA as an anti-american TERRORIST organization.

While I am under no illusion that any of this is even REMOTELY possible.......it should be our starting point.

Yet, now we have the retard in the WH hiring a drooling war monger as his NSA.....so more violence in the name of $$$$$$ is coming our way.

Millions more murdered in the name of profit.

God help humanity..
