“This Is Not Normal.” Oh Really?
Sorry, but this is completely normal. We live in a country in which mass shootings are so common that most of them don’t even make the national news.
The toxic mixture of hate, ignorance, and the corruptive effect of money from the gun lobby on our lawmakers have made this, at least for now, a totally insoluble problem.
There is no scenario in which Republicans pass laws that have the remotest effect on reining in the proliferation of guns, even the weapons of war.
Fortunately, there is a scenario in which progressive voters remove the greedy cowards in congress who are sacrificing our lives for their seats in office.
