Did You Know

Did you know, lawmakers haven't provided funding to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) for studying gun control violence in more than two decades even though the House and some crucial doctors' groups are in favor of it.

Sigh.

That's because Mitch and Trump are against it. Politics as usual, I fear.

Valerie-Jael said...

Politics! Hugs, Valerie

Politics are sure a strange thing.

Yvonne.

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

And that's the real issue - not gun control but why are people so mentally unbalanced they would kill others.

Anonymous said...

Gun control and the US. I ain't going there. Thanks.

I say, if they want to keep thrusting the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms, since this was written in 1789, then ok...they can bear arms-muskets! It is absurd that they can carry so many guns, semi automatic weapons, guns that can spray 100 bullets in, like what, 30 seconds?? They have the right to wear guns on holsters and walk into supermarkets like they are back in the 1890's? This is ridiculous

Interesting.

RO said...

That's a long time! By the way, sending some hugs your way that all will be well. Wind is starting to pick up here quite a bit. RO

Jeanie said...

I didn't -- but unfortunately, that doesn't surprise me one single bit.

R's Rue said...

Didn't know.

CJ Kennedy said...

That doesn't really come as much of a surprise since the NRA seems to be in control.

Sandra Cox said...

Those two have given politics a totally new meaning.

Sandra Cox said...

Yes.

Sandra Cox said...

Indeed, Yvonne.

Sandra Cox said...

It's a huge piece of it for sure. And I think the term gun control has morphed into something that it was never meant to be. I prefer, gun commonsense.

Sandra Cox said...

You won't get any argument from me. The HH saw someone packing heat in the grocery store the other day. Maybe he planned on shooting cabbages.

Sandra Cox said...

And sad.

Sandra Cox said...

Please keep me posted, RO. You are closer to Dorian than I am.
Hugs.

Pat Hatt said...

Never knew, but it doesn't surprise me.

Sandra Cox said...

It's what we've come to expect, isn't it?

Sandra Cox said...

I understand. There hasn't been a lot out there about it.

Sandra Cox said...

Money talks.

Sandra Cox said...

You won't get any argument from me. My understanding is at their conception they were a stable, helpful organization that concentrated on safety, etc. How times have changed. Karl Frederick the NRA President of 1934 believed guns should be restricted and licensed.

Sandra Cox said...

They have a point. There's an awful lot of non sense (or no sense) being spewed these days, for sure.

Sandra Cox said...

Yup, no surprise there.

Janie Junebug said...

Why am I not shocked?

Love,
Janie

They are also behind in Zombie curing.

Jamie Ghione said...

No, didn't know.

Lowcarb team member said...

Sandra I liked the two words you used in your reply to Alex …
"gun commonsense." … Oh, how I wish.

All the best Jan

Sandra Cox said...

Sad.

Sandra Cox said...

They certainly are:)

Sandra Cox said...

Have a great one, Jamie.

Sandra Cox said...

It shouldn't be this hard, should it, Jan?

Magic Love Crow said...

So sad! Big Hugs my friend!
