(6,632 posts)Tea Party leaning SCOTUS forced an insane 5-4 decision onto the American public with Heller, the crazies in the nation interpreted that as a vindication of their romance with guns. All that Heller actually "settled" was the right to have a gun in the home -- which few really oppose in the first place. The "guns everywhere" society of right-wing red necked politicians and their slobbering sheep have since used Heller as an excuse to attempt to legislate away the last 100 years of gun regulation sanity.
Our very own Gungeon crowd is proof of this madness, and that they are allowed to spew their love of violence, vigilantism, and summary executions on DU is beyond belief. And now Florida is bragging about being the first state to allow over 1 million red necks to carry concealed guns in public.
At some point public outrage about daily occurrences of acts gun violence such as this one will turn the tide, and sanity will begin to once again prevail. Until then, please support organizations like the Brady Center, and Mayors Against Illegal Guns in order to counter this insane rush to legalize murder and violence.
