Gun laws

5/27/2022

Of course, the news of the massacre in Uvalde upset me a great deal.  But my grief comes with the understanding that anger and sadness alone won't do anything about incidents such as the massacre in Uvalde as long as people keep electing (primarily) Republican leaders who do nothing to make assault weapons, large magazines, etc. harder to get..  I see no point in carrying any outrage around for an extended period of time unless I do something constructive with it.  I endorse Beto O'Rourke for governor, because his long shot chances of beating an entrenched incumbent in Gregg Abbott at least give me SOMEWHERE I can direct all  I want to direct in the way of enacting change to this ridiculous situation we've found ourselves in since the days of Charles Whitman.

Right now, I don't stand willing to do anything personally other than blog about this topic on a platform that registers about twenty-five page views a week, so I have no incentive to carry around huge amounts of anger and outrage in light of my (supposedly) tiny audience.  I'll see if I'm willing to do more than write about this stuff in the time leading up to the midterm election.  Until then, I just urge readers to know where the people that supposedly represent them stand on this issue of easy gun access for disturbed people and make up their minds on whether or not they want those politicians to continue to represent them.
