Here We Go Again! I Already Don’t Care About The Next Mass Murder

Here we go again, twelve more victims of a deranged killer with a gun. I don’t care anymore! Why should any of us care? It seems to be a popular American past time. Like football or NASCAR.  Why all the righteous outrage every single time this happens? We never do a thing about it, every single time! The only effect these mass murders seem to have is gun sales go up after, these all too common, events because gun “enthusiasts” are terrified the government is going to confiscate their guns. That never happens, ever. Never.

The NRA and the gun manufacturers lie to their followers about the threat to their second amendment rights to own and bear firearms by the U.S. government. Works every time. Their only solution to gun death is more guns. Mass murder with guns is good for business. After Sandy Hook and twenty babies being shot to death like dogs, gun sales went through the roof. What a testimony to America, mom, apple pie and democracy.

I really can’t afford to care anymore. I can’t keep investing my emotional capital into this black hole of the black heart of America. It is literally making me sick. Congress, you disgust me. This self induced impotency of government is indicative of so much that has gone wrong with us. From main streaming mental patients and closing government run mental institutions to “save money” to the NRA going from a gun safety and hunting education organization to one of the largest most powerful lobbying groups for gun manufacturers to promote gun sales.

We have literally sold our souls to the devil in the form of repeatedly electing him to office. Nothing is ever going to change if we don’t. So I already don’t care about the next mass murder. I just hope it’s not you or me or our children, but it will happen again and again and again.
