It blows my mind that once again we have a horrific mass shooting, and while the rest of the world shakes their head at us again because they already know exactly what the problem is, our own solution is... to take down some flags?
When a politician is faced with the choice of 1) doing the right thing, but ending their political career, or 2) not doing the right thing, and continuing their political career, which box do you think most of them check? There are just too many single issue NRA type voters out there in Pub primaries to allow for a reasonable discussion on intelligent and reasonable gun regulations to make it more difficult for criminals and psychotics to possess guns, along with a few who normally vote Dem, but won't for a "gun grabber" Dem, that intimidates a fair number of Dem politicians as well. But then you already knew all of this.
It's just an
emotional issue, that trumps all reason. The video is over the fascist radical gun grabbing proposal to ban carrying guns into public buildings in Hudson. Oh the horror, the horror! The first guy in the video by the way, is alderman John Friedman, who just got busted for pot possession. He likes his weed!
He and I often cross swords, but do work together on some issues, such as the Hudson weighted voting issue.
