and ripped to shreds by bullets?

(11,887 posts)Violence signaling from Rethugs and constant defeat signaling from the MSM (Dems are expected to lose the House) is a very dangerous mix.

God forbid, any of these rocket science Congress people lose any of their family members to gun violence.
I could never take a photo like this for clicks and funding. I wouldnt play with karma. Its almost like they dont know the stats in this country.

However, she also proves she is a cold-hearted soulless individual. She purports to be a Christian. Nothing says the love of Christ at Christmas like clinging to a lethal weapon, especially after a school shooting.

(8,059 posts)That does surprise me. In the past there would be at least a brief period of respect for the dead before they called out their circus clowns to put on a gun show. Now they're literally shoving kids with guns in our faces as a response to a kid with a gun slaughtering schoolmates, to mock everyone who is upset about the loss of lives. This is a new low.

It's like we're jumping into the trap of looking like we're easily offended.

(34,185 posts)But I think the Massie Christmas card was planned long before the school shooting as was the NRA ammo promotion.
