Holy crap, Laura. Ugh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The only thing I feel like I can do is yell at my senators on Twitter, and I know that does nothing, but everything else does nothing too.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
One of my son's friends knew the shooter. Said he wasn't surprised.
Oh, God, Laura. What an utter nightmare. I just finished reading an interview with another kid who also knew him and also wasn't surprised, and had spent the last couple of years strenuously avoiding him because the prospect of any kind of open conflict with this guy terrified him.
And I know nothing, nothing, nothing will change.

I'm sorry about my bump stock post earlier. I think it came off as a bit "Well, actually..." and it wasn't the point I was wating to mkl anywayl. The thing is that Congresss cou;.dnt do anything slbout this ting that 's sole puropise ti to circumvenat the law. If noth;ing can be sone baout that then wlaht could jpbe cone abouit anyhltnhig?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Fuck the guns in this culture. And fuck this culture we have that thinks it's a totally normal and acceptable response, if you happen to be a dude, to kill a fuckton of people just because you got butthurt about something.
I want the guns gone, and I don't give a fuck about sport shooting or hunting or any of the excuses that the NRA makes. Those are the acceptable cover for their power tripping. (And they're a lobbyist for the sellers, not the gun users, anyway. They care about selling more guns, not anyone's so-called rights.)
But even more, I want the culture to say NO FUCK YOU THAT IS NOT AN OKAY WAY TO BE PISSED OFF. USE YOUR FUCKING WORDS. OTHER CULTURES HAVE SAID "OH SHIT NO WE CAN'T KEEP GOING DOWN THIS PATH". We keep... not.
(Yes, we're in "shit I don't say on FB" territory.)

The gun fetish this country has makes me sick. I'm also in the camp that would be perfectly happy seeing them all gone.

Works for me. I'd also be just as happy to punch most members of Congress in the face right now, starting with my own senators, McConnell, and Ryan. Their fucking thoughts and prayers. I can't even believe they can choke out those hypocritical words anymore.

Let's do that! That would be gratifying!
