The Oregon Massacre Won't Shake NRA Stranglehold
President Obama, stern and visibly shaken by the Oregon massacre, lambasted the NRA yet again for its suffocating grip on Congress. An equally shaken Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, said that she was sickened by the sheep-like willingness of Congress to do the bidding of the NRA.

Oregon gunman in massacre had cache of 13 weapons, U.S. agent says
ROSEBURG, Ore. (Reuters) - The Oregon gunman who carried out an execution-style massacre at a college classroom had a cache of 13 weapons, body armor and ammunition, authorities said on Friday as they sought a motive for the bloodiest U.S. mass shooting this year.

Imagine A Black Vet Trying To Deal With This Nonsense
What happens when a state with a tough voter ID law suddenly makes it much harder for minorities to get driver's licenses? We are about to find out in Alabama.
Facing a budget crisis, Alabama has shuttered 31 driver's license offices, many of them in counties with a high proportion of black residents. Coming after the state recently put into effect a tougher voter ID law, the closures will cut off access -- particularly for minorities -- to one of the few types of IDs accepted.

Heart Of Stone
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush reportedly told a South Carolina crowd on Friday that gun control is not the answer to reducing gun deaths in the U.S. because "stuff happens."

How about that Pope. Think it's true. I'll never understand it if it is. A man telling a woman to defy the Constitution for her religious beliefs when his religious beliefs doesn't recognize her marriages, any of the four. We're living in Bizzarro World. Best to you.​
