I mean, what horror might have occurred without those guns?

This did occur two days ago.

A coworker was invited by a few friends already there. They were celebrating the Chiefs making it to the Super Bowl.

Here's another article that specifically notes that it was Sunday night.

WTF!

I went back last year to visit and it had really declined in the years that have passed.

My school bus used to drive past Hall of Famer Willie Lanier's modest surburban home, and after the Super Bowl victory a huge sign was in his front yard thanking the fans. This was in the years before big contracts and athletes living in gated communities.

Kansas City, San Antonio, Hawaii...

When I look at all the headlines, between trump, the rigged Senate trial, the hacked election servers in Georgia, and all the mass shootings.... I can't help but feel, once again, that I'm witnessing the end of the American experiment.

This "experiment" started out very ugly, now it's ending ugly. Failing. Flaming out in a spectacular display of ignorance, corruption and violence.

I'm frustrated and angry, because it didn't have to be this way. I hope all the politicians and corporations that propped up the NRA and the rightwing hate machine are satisfied. You gained temporary riches, but now we're quickly becoming a failed state.

Seems like all I do these days is sigh in despair. Because of feeling exactly the way you described in your post.

Imagine if the GOP supermajority in Jeff City ever gets that Guns Everywhere bill passed.

This is unfortunately another example Moms will be able to give every time we approach our elected lawmakers in Jeff City.
