I have said that the DC clowns are more worthless than feathers on turkeys….this and please check it out will illustrate just how little work these douche bags have done…….
Your vote at work…are you pleased yet?
Hint: Maybe you should pay attention to your candidates and we could actually get this country back on track……
Thoughts?
This post should generate a bunch of comments…this type always does…….let ’em fly, my friends!
We have had our debate on the gun issue…..both pro and con….it is like the race issue…….all talk NO action…….
We all remember Newtown……the deaths of children under these circumstances are unacceptable……well at least to me it is unacceptable…apparently I may be in a minority on this issue……with that said there has been some disturbing news……
(Newser) – The number of US kids and teens who die from gunshot wounds in hospital has risen almost 60% in a decade, according to a new report. The study by two doctors looked at data from 1997 to 2009, and found the number of those hospitalized with gunshot wounds rose from 4,270 to 7,730, while the number of those that then died from them climbed from 317 to 503, NBC News reports. Eight out of 10 of the wounds came from handguns, says study author Arin L. Madenci. “Furthermore, states with higher percentages of household firearm ownership also tended to have higher proportions of childhood gunshot wounds, especially those occurring in the home,” he says.
As a result of the findings, the authors say, perhaps the national conversation about gun control should move from larger semi-automatic weapons to limiting the number of smaller firearms in homes. “While public health resources and policies have largely focused on military-style semi-automatic assault weapons, it may be more crucial to intervene on handguns,” says Madenci, per Medical Daily. The director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research tells Discovery that research and data like this has been sorely lacking in the field since Congress stopped funding it in the 1990s. “I see this as a huge step forward,” he says.
A truly sad indictment of our society…..too bad it seems to be an acceptable price of doing business…..
But with this sad news there is another tilt to the gun saga……

The call for stricter gun control has waned since the Newtown, Conn., school shooting at the end of 2012, a Gallup poll released Friday found.
In the days following the school shooting, which killed 20 children and six staff members, 58 percent of those polled wanted stricter gun control. Now, almost a year after the December shooting, that number has dropped to 49 percent.
The drop also means the country now is split nearly evenly on whether gun control laws need to be stricter. On the other side of the 49 percent who want stricter laws, 50 percent want laws to either be less strict or kept the same.
Like I have said ……the price of doing business……..God forbid any one should be held accountable…..a sad, sad day……
