Texas: We acknowledge theres a gun issue in our great state. We've decided enough is enough. We must confront it head on! How we going to do this? Were gonna give every child in our schools a DNA collection kit so parents can identify their dead.

GQP has their militia out

Pound to a penny if you approach those wankers carrying a weapon and wearing a vest the streets would echo to the sound of the tyres being shredded and it wheelspins away and Bubba on the tailgate will need some expensive dental work doing after he tumbles off

Anyone watching ITV right now?
Things don’t seem to be getting better in the US with millions of people with lots of guns all believing idiotic election fraud conspiracy theories. Really don’t know if the country will survive in its current form because it’s not dying down.

Official backtracking on CNN now. Claiming its a communications mix up. They meant the kits were for finding missing kids not identifying dead ones.

The problem is that these kits were being manufactured and distributed in Uvalde at the same time as parents of kids shot there were being asked to provide DNA to prove which kid belonged to which parents. If that doesn’t tell you the power of an AR on a child’s head, then nothing will.

The kits then because part of the political narrative. It wasn’t cause and effect, it was fortuitous, or lack thereof, timing.

I’m not watching ITV, but I do follow the news here and the Republic is in great danger. We are a wrong word from a shooting at either the polls or a ballot collection spot.

In AZ, we have ARMED MEN IN CAMO hanging out at maildrop ballot boxes, in full view, attempting to scare people into NOT voting…and there are multiple reports of people being scared away…Democrats, of course! All of this at the URGING of a local Republican office holder!!!

Robocalls have also been used telling people that the IRS and other law enforcement will be using their mail in ballots to search IRS records for unpaid taxes, audits, etc, and any warrants will be served using the mailing address on their ballot. The people who have been doing the robocalls have been fined $5M and convicted of fraud, but the effect remains!

We are a small step from who knows where, and who knows how we will come back from there. Jan 6 was a wake up call to America, but too many people seem to have LIKED what they saw, instead of being horrified by it.

So called “news” outlets are nothing but propaganda mills, and I fear for where it all ends.

Jan 6, 2021 may be a day that historians look back upon as the day America changed irreparably.
