After another horrific shooting, more Thoughts and prayers are apparently what folks are calling for. Yea let's just ignore that the recent shooting took place at a church where the victims were already praying.
It does give me a sort of perverse appreciation for second amendment rights folks. I'm pretty anti-gun and if I could wave a magic wand to erase the second amendment from the Constitution I would do it. But in an era where I see people willingly surrendering our civil rights to Trump left and right, I have some grudging respect for the gun rights people who will not budge even in the face of our kids getting slaughtered. Not that I want our kids killed, but I wish we had that much commitment to our other rights.
This is political malpractice from Newsome. How can he be this dumb? Obama would never do **** like this.
