Time to abolish the 2nd Amendment

Colorado Movie Theater Shooting

Time and past time.

When do we agree the price in public safety and in subversion of democracy through right-wing political violence and intimidation is too high?

Meanwhile, the Republicans really have no choice, do they?

The can’t win without tens of millions of votes from jackasses, bigots, and crackpots.

They can no more abandon the 2nd Amendment than get soft on abortion and gay marriage, stop worrying about where Obama was really born, or urge that the US cut Israel loose.

If they weren’t also the party of appalling stupidity the party of  the plutocracy wouldn’t win one more election.

With any luck, they still might not.

Appalling stupidity, after all, really is, after a while, just appalling.
