I don’t think you’re giving our congresspeople enough credit. Neither half of our legislature would vote a bill containing gun safety education and mental health services into law. Their aim with gun control laws is not to prevent child death from firearms.
I disagree that it’s just peachy that we live in the prototype fascist state, still going strong, but the rest of what you said is true.
I certainly didn't think I'd ever be Daffy Duck in the "wabbit season/duck season" gag, but here we are. While I (now) understand the point you are trying to make, I do not agree that this is the future envisioned by those who created our nation and system of government, and thus I must disagree that this is functioning as intended.
Which version of that bit are you referencing? I know of three and they all end differently…
You’re right though, the framers of our constitution would be appalled that women, the unlanded and blacks were extended the franchise.
Well, none of them end in Daffy's favor. 😀
On the contrary! The one which shines brightest in my memory winds up with “Elmer season”!
Be vewwy vewwy quiet, weow hunting ewected officiaws.
Oh I had completely forgotten that one!
