Acceptable losses.
I knew we lost the gun debate when the mangled bodies of terrified first graders and their teachers was an acceptable loss. Calling it “the price you pay for freedom,” made it seem like these kids had life jerked out of their bodies for a good reason.
America felt bad about it, but not bad enough. It was akin to sacrificing virgins to appease the rain gods. It’s just something you have to do ever so often.
Yesterday, a gunman killed four people and hurt 14 others and it doesn’t even make it above the fold at Huff Post, CNN, or MSNBC.
Even my hometown newspaper – the fourth largest city in America – buries it at the bottom of the front page where the “oh, incidentally” stuff goes.
It happened yesterday afternoon and although I admit I wasn’t listening closely, I never heard guns mentioned at last night’s Republican debate. That might be a good thing, though, since those guys would have all pulled their weapons and measured which one had the longest whatever. Hell, even Jeb had to post a picture of his gun before dropping out just so you’d know how big his is.
And Democrats haven’t done a whole lot better.
We need some damn courage. People who need to tote guns everywhere they go do not have courage, they have fear.
The Second Amendment does not mean what the NRA thinks it means. If it did, you would have the right to possess your own personal nuclear weapon.
This was the 28th mass shooting of 2016 and it’s not even March yet. That’s one every other day.
They are acceptable losses.
.
What? You mean 2A doesn’t protect my right to possess my suitcase nuke? Now ya tell me. Crappers!
1JJ, just about the same thing happened here in D.C. with the WaPo.
Damndamndamn shame!
2No, they are NOT acceptable losses, but if nobody will listen and act on ANYTHING, what the hell can we do?
3I’m old, I’ve never owned, nor will I ever own, a gun of any kind … those that do and yet sit silent … they are as guilty as the shooters themselves!
I don’t know what the answer is or could be, but someone needs to come up with a workable solution!!
But not too soon for the repulsive Sam Brownback to come out and say, “It’s too soon to consider ….” All of you know what he said, so I won’t insult your intelligence by completing that unbelievably crass statement.

4If the GOP didn’t have fear they’d have no issues at all.
Well, hate maybe. But that’s based on fear.
5Damn. Chef Jeff’s Veggies got a larger font.
I have a fantasy that 100 armed men & women follow every NRA owned lawmaker around wherever they go. I wonder how long before the paranoia sets in. Then I fantasize they get impeached, recalled, or tossed out for being an unfit paranoid mess.
Additional bonus: they also have their own guns taken away for being too mentally unfit to own one.
Damn you straight to Hell, NRA & NRA owned Congresscritters. (sorry, momma, I’m getting the bar of soap now.)
6“Kansas law doesn’t require a permit to buy long guns or handguns, which don’t have to be registered.
An ATF official said they were investigating how Ford obtained the weapons.”
Why bother investigating, ATF? The shooter wasn’t a terrorist and he was just living the NRA touted “guns, apple pie & American way”. Besides, Kansas has an open invitation to shoot ’em up.
7And if we as a nation we accept these losses without protest, please don’t bitch at me about abortion.
8@JAKvirginia
Change the narrative. You almost did!.
Is not murder a “post-birth abortion”? Murder of a 7 year old, abortion in the 84th month post-birth?
9The incident wasn’t even in the Daytona Beach, Orlando [online] or Jacksonville. St.Augie had it well documented.
10Lorraine, here’s one hell of an example of paranoia. Remember Henry Hyde and his stand on women’s rights? He swore in front of witnesses that there was a little old nun in a trench coat following him wherever he went!
Hey, Henry, that was Karma.
11Oh, Lorraine, if only it were so. Somehow we have to turn the tables on these hypocrites to start by outlawing assault rifles, automatic and semi-automatic pistols, restricting ammunition
12purchases and tightly regulating all weapon purchases and ownership. We need a huge change in the makeup of the SCOTUS, congress and governorships. “Well regulated” should be our motto.
Ladies, if I might make a suggestion, that would be to mock them unmercifully. One thing the snacilbupeR and ammosexuals have in common is being humorless.
With this parody, Jim Carrey infuriated them. More of this is needed. http://crooksandliars.com/scarce/jim-carrey-ruffles-gun-nuts-feathers-funny-
*** Mama *** It’s probably safe for you to view the video. But please do not read the comments below it. Some of those ammosexuals were a bit mean after being mocked.
13I recently watched “The Lost Battalion”. at the end of the final german attack, American troops show up, having finally figured out where said battalion is. it went in with 500 men, 200 were able to walk out on their own a week later. the professional American Gen. tells Maj. Whittlesly that those are “acceptable losses”. the Maj. doesn’t agree, and suggests where the Gen. can stick it.
Gen. Hamilton would make a great pres. of the NRA, because to him, the massive deaths of other people are “acceptable losses”, as long as the sh’s are happy.
sadly, the emotional toll was too much for the Maj., and it’s assumed he committed suicide a couple of years later, by jumping over the side of a cruise ship he was on.
14Everything Lorraine in Spring said. Every single thing.
