You can keep your "Ho hum" not me. I'm mad as hell and will keep up the good fight.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." CHEW ON THAT.

I've done the writing and calling legislators for years and it's only gotten worse. The gun lobby has managed to shut down all opposition.

Even on DU we have gun lobby useful idiots - or actual troll shills - trotting out the idiotic argument of "it's not a magazine its a clip, and if you don't know that you can't have an opinion about better gun laws." They swarm and tell us cars kill more people than guns and effectively shut down all conversation. Even here, we can't even talk about it.

So what is the good fight these days?

But it reads like a personal attack on a fellow DUer. Would you consider revising it?

Folks get tired of all the shootings in America. I don’t read pfitz59’s post in the way that you did- I’m sure they didn’t intend to sound callous- and you’ve called them an asshole.

They’re a DUer. They are not a new DUer, and I’d really hope that you would reconsider your personal attack.

It isn’t cute. It is unkind. You’ve been around long enough to know that what folks type can be misconstrued. I’m sorry you don’t feel the need to give a fellow DUer grace and hope you have a better day.
