455. Society is at least as important as the individual ...
We also have a right to a peaceful society --

both Drug War and GOP/NRA guns should go --

so should this fascist Supreme Court which delivers fascist rulings --


Having grown up in the south you may not be aware that after the civil war southerners would not vote republican (Lincoln was a republican). So the people they elected "democrats" voted for jim crow laws. This is obviously not part of the current platform and, like gun control, is an idea whose time has past.

Gun control is DIRECTLY related to southern Jim Crow laws and other laws enacted later.


So you're saying that because KKK wanted Segregation for "African Americans" and wanted to limit

their access to guns at that time, today's gun control efforts are racist?


:rofl:

Amazing how far the NRA will go to distort --

What's going on in Washington DC? African Americans all supported the gun control laws

overturned by the right wing Supreme Court!

What you're saying is as beleivable as Nixon's "Southern Strategy" -- which probably never

existed -- all that ever existed at that time was GOP voting computers coming to take over

our elections and steal them!

See: Votescam -- The Stealing of America --



You have it backwards DRUGS fuel the Violence. Before mexico, panama, colombia, etc. These places were all money hubs in the drug war. When there is literally tons of cash involved there is economic motive to kill people.

Remove the money, motive goes away.


The Drug War came first -- then the guns.
