The 2nd amendment was written when there was no standing army. The language pertains to militia when the country had to rely on individual citizens. We now have a standing army. Assault weapons should not be in anyone’s hands other than the military & law enforcement.
Katherine Koonce, Head of Covenant School, was described as a "saint:” “She did so much for those kids. And now gave her life protecting them. She knew every student by name. She helped when families couldn't afford things - it didn't matter. She found ways for them to stay."
Hallie Scruggs, one of three children slain in the mass school shooting in Nashville, was the 9-year-old child of Chad Scruggs, the senior pastor at Covenant Presbyterian Church. https://t.co/IEJ5pkXKe0
I have posted this before but ..
26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun
control legislation. In the 9400+ days
since, there have been a total of O
school shootings in the UK.
The security guard who died trying to stop the white supremacist who murdered those people at TOPS is named Aaron Salter Jr. Because I know the media isn't going to memorialize this man as a hero, I'm asking all of you to remember who he is and remember his sacrifice. #racism
Gun extremists scream threats and “We will not comply!” at @MomsDemand volunteers and Rhode Island lawmakers after gun safety legislation passes the legislature. These are the people who for too long have been allowed to have power in shaping our gun laws.
Holy shit. The former Lt. Governor of Texas Ben Barnes just came forward to say he was part of a secret Republican operation that convinced Iran to keep Americans held hostage in order to sabotage Jimmy Carter’s 1980 presidential campaign.(@peterbakernyt) https://t.co/EzsiXD14se
@nikkimwalls They fixed him up but it seems like a lot of dogs with hair who are neglected have really bad problems. It seems that human cruelty should at least stay within our species, but no.
@nikkimwalls this poor guy on PetFinder--in a city shelter--had his eyes damaged because no one had cut his hair for years. Hair got embedded in his skin. So sad. When I get back to the states, going straight to the shelter.
@anarchpetditty @upstaterica I was judging myself for liking TV more. But good tv follows a character over a long period of time. I will start wondering about the character as I'm walking down the street, thinking about why they would do A or B.
@anarchpetditty @upstaterica I don't like movies either. And this movie helped me realize why. I like character studies best. And usually films are too fast for that.
