More Blood On Their Hands (Not That It Will Matter)

By Baxter

Some guy exercised his Second Amendment rights at a Baptist church today, in a Texas county that went roughly 75-25% for Trump last year.

We cats don't know what to say.

Anything we could add to the cacophony on social media would be superfluous, especially since we're not into the whole thoughts-and-prayers charade — and with the Republicans in charge of Congress and the NRA having Washington in a stranglehold, this'll just be another case of Nothing Getting Done.

Heck, we Democrats were in control of things back in the '90s, and even then we barely got an assault-weapons ban through. And if 20 dead six-year-olds didn't shame us into action five years ago, what will?

So we're not moved to add to the latest outrage beyond wondering why — since Texas has open-carry, and all that — there wasn't a "good guy with a gun" in the pews to take out the bad guy with a gun. Isn't that the NRA's favorite argument? We cats HISS.
