Only in America

Insanity is alive and well in the Good Ol’ US of A!

In this season of Peace On Earth and Goodwill to All Men (& Women), what else would a caring parent choose as a gift for their emotionally disturbed 15 year old son but a semi-automatic pistol?

We were talking about that today with our visitors, I said "Why don't they change their "Constitution" and their "rights to bear arms . Robert not Bob explained their reasoning on that subject but I can't remember the correct wording he used so maybe he will refresh my memory here. After watching 60 minutes tonight on the nutters calling itself Q Anon (?) and the X Ginger ninja was also a follower of this Q thing ????? I thought I knew some people but a few of them have been sending all those Q theories .

There was an aricle a couple of days ago with a picture of an Americian politician (republician of course) posing with his wife and kids for a Christmas photo. Each of them holding semi automatic rifles with the caption "Hope Santa brings us some ammunition. A couple days after the mass shooting.

Robert not Bob was telling us about that same photo, sure are the Walmart people over there.

A Mum and Dad exercising their (USA) Second Amendment rights and giving their kid a leg up into the standout issue in American society. What's the problem?

I remember that doco maker Micheal Moore interviewing Charlton Heston about gun control and Charlton came out the well known "From my cold dead hands" line, Moore replied, "be careful what you wish for, there are a lot of very irate parents out there" It was later clipped from the interview because it could have been deemed as insightful.
Sadly, we are going down the same path, politics guided by the strongest lobby groups

The first thing to get sorted has to be political donations, no one should be able to buy votes without it being bribery and both involved being dragged before the courts and locked up if proved to be corruption.

The second thing would be to ban lobbyists from contacting pollies and their staffers or each politician who had been lobbied declare a conflict of interest and refraining from the discussion and vote.

Third thing, no tacking on bit to "certain to pass" legislation that the govt wants to get through ....

Forth thing, Pollies salaries and superannuation linked to CPI and the minimum wages increases

It will never happen so the cr*p will remain the same
