How Bad is Politics of Guns in America – Late Night Comedian Jimmy Kimmel Makes More Sense Than the House and Senate

Go Ahead Gun Lobby – Refute This

The Washington Post reports on the unfunny, deliberately so, comments of Jimmy Kimmel on the gun violence in Las Vegas. Here are some excerpts.

The Second Amendment, I guess, our forefathers wanted us to have AK-47s is the argument, I assume. Orlando, Newtown, Aurora, San Bernardino, every one of these shootings the murderer used automatic or semiautomatic rifles, which are not weapons you use for self-defense. They’re weapons designed to kill large numbers of people in the shortest possible amount of time. And this guy, reportedly he had 10 of them in his room, apparently legally. At least some of them were there legally. Why is that allowed? I don’t know why our so-called leaders continue to allow this to happen. Or, better question, why do we continue to let them allow it to happen?

Well we allow it to happen because a group of people care so much about the false issue that the government wants to take away all guns that they are willing to let the public have any gun.

President Trump is visiting Las Vegas on Wednesday, he spoke this morning, said he’s praying for those who lost their lives. In February, he also signed a bill that made it easier for people with severe mental illness to buy guns legally. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, a number of other lawmakers who won’t do anything about this because the NRA has their balls in a money clip, also sent their thoughts and their prayers today, which is good. They should be praying. They should be praying for God to forgive them for letting the gun lobby run this country, because it’s so crazy.

And as we all know, the Congress is debating a bill to allow silencers on guns and the gun lobby would like to pass laws that make it much easier to buy armor piercing bullets.
