 Michael Moore said "Americans love their guns more than their children"--anticipating the unanimous response:  "Oh no!  No way!"

The same ones who refuse to get rid of guns are the ones crying their crocodile tears over abortion. Republicans who decry choice in reproduction issues are doing everything they can to protect the rights of people to carry guns into restaurants and churches and schools. 

"It's time, "Moore said, "To get rid of the almighty Second Amendment.  The founding fathers who wrote that had no idea what kind of guns we'd have in the 21st century." If the founding fathers were to return to America today they would be appalled at what is happening to our living children who die from gunshots more than any other cause of death.  

We are so entrenched in our beliefs about the Constitution that was written before our great-grandparents were born.  What if guns were absolutely banned? Moore asks.  Unthinkable! say the current party of protection of the Second Amendment above saving our children.

Legislators will send thoughts and prayers and look shocked--the party who refuses to make changes in gun laws.  They will vote above all to protect fetuses, even newly fertilized eggs by rape or incest.  Many of them voted against appropriating funds to feed babies already born.  But banning guns is unthinkable.  

"What are we doing?" Chris Murphy asked Congress. Is your job and power more important than traumatizing children and grocery shoppers and church-goes?  

I agree with Michael Moore.  If we love our children more than anything--which we do--how can we not do everything in our power to stop these senseless massacres?  

"When in God's name are we going to stand up to the gun lobby?" Biden asked today.  "Don't tell me we can't have an impact on this carnage!"
