We have too many guns, too many shootings, too damn much money
corrupting our government preventing action and too damn much right wing
propaganda lying and distorting the discussion. The President tells it
straight, and the country needs to listen: we need to restrict guns
better than we are doing. It is time for government regulation to save us from crazies, extremists, racists, and the armed religious right.
According to the Freethinker - to which we link on our bog roll -
When 3 people shoot themselves in their shorts in one week, it should be obvious we have a problem. It should be obvious guns are not making us free or safe, so many guns are making us numb and dumb, hurt and dead.

The Guardian reports that the father of Anastasia Boylan, 18, who was one of those injured, said that Mercer started asking people one by one what their religion was.
‘Are you a Christian?’ he would ask them, and ‘if you are a Christian then stand up’ and they would stand up. He’d say ‘because you are a Christian you’re going to see God in about one second’ and then he shot and killed them. And he kept going down the line doing this to people.
In this Guardian report, Mercer described himself on an on-line dating site as as a 26-year-old, mixed-race “man looking for a woman”. He said he was “not religious, but spiritual”, was a “teetotaler” living with his parents and was a conservative Republican.
