Arizona to take action against voter intimidation.

Bullet holes are not legal methods for marking ballots.

Sure, assault weapons create instant orphans and blow
up kids (and adults) so bad they have to be identified
by the clothing they were wearing.     But there's a
more important principle here - GOP senators getting the
campaign funds to survive their next primary in order to
defend minority rule.

 https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/06/politics/gun-control-mass-shooting-weapons-analysis/index.html

That's why they are reluctantly willing to vote for
anything that is guaranteed not to address the problem.

Biden signed off on a gun safety bill that was weak and
ineffective enough to get 15 GOP senate votes.   That means
35 voted against it.

 https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/senate-republicans-risk-nra-blowback-092537886.html

But those 15 will be hearing from the NRA at their next
election.    Even if the Supreme Court finds a way to
invalidate the law first.

McConnell flinches -

 https://apnews.com/article/shootings-texas-new-york-violence-buffalo-df9202d5686880aab00559979d180e17

But McCarthy stands strong for your right to shoot up
schools.

 https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/22/politics/house-republicans-bipartisan-gun-bill/index.html

GOP Senate leaders privately assured members that the
bill doesn't really do much, but can McConnell keep 10
GOP senators in favor for the next few days, against an
onslaught of furious voters and major donors and Trump?

The only way to stop a bad guy with a big bag of dark
campaign cash is a good guy with a bigger bag.   Nothing
will happen until red state senators fear more from getting
primaried by gun safety supporters than getting primaried
by gun safety opponents.

Until then, they will just go through the motions to run
down the clock until they can go back to talking about
inflation, also without proposing any plausible solutions.

What does Haiti have to do with Uvalde?

 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/pitts-who-will-be-the-last-to-die/ar-AAXQpTh

The Second Amendment was inspired by fear of the Haitian
slave revolution.   It wasn't about protecting the people
from tyranny - it was about protecting tyranny from
the people.

 https://www.npr.org/2021/06/02/1002107670/historian-uncovers-the-racist-roots-of-the-2nd-amendment

It takes lots of guns to enforce minority rule.      Fear
of slave revolt is now replaced by fear of Democratic
majorities.

Ted Cruz is right!    Massacres are caused by Evil!

 https://www.cruz.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sen-cruz-issues-statement-on-uvalde-shooting

Wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there be which go in thereat.

Thus the Evil Tempter whispers in the ears of politicians
We have to play the game the way it is played.   We didn't
make the rules [that's the ultimate Big Lie!]   None of
the good things you want to do can be accomplished if you
don't get the votes.       You can't get the votes unless
you become famous.  You can't become famous if you don't
get the donors to fund your campaigns.       So you have
to do whatever it takes to get the campaign funds you need
to do good.  That's the only was to do God's work!

And so they get so preoccupied with rounding up a herd of
donors and a steady supply of campaign funds to obtain
celebrity and votes, that that becomes the goal itself,
and whatever ideals might have originally motivated them
to go into politics are forgotten.

Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.

===

So how many schoolchildren and churchgoers and grocery
shoppers does it take to get the campaign funds?  As many
as it takes!

Guns don't kill people.    Politicians kill people!
The politician that enables many massacres is far more
culpable than the shooter who can only carry out one.
Yet the shooter's actions will be remembered far longer
than the politician's thoughts and prayers and inaction.
Indeed, if the shooters announced they were only only
shooting at Democrats, socialists, antifa, and criminal
rioters, they'd be remembered as patriot martyr heroes by
a significant slice of the electorate - significant enough
to make a difference in tossup elections.   Indeed their
politicians rarely fail to mention Democrats, socialists,
antifa, and criminal rioters together in the same breath.

Doesn't everybody understand that weekly massacres are
just the price we all get to pay for the privilege of
living under minority rule?

 https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2020-minority.html

Several Texas GOP thought it best to keep a low profile -
away from the NRA - but not Trump!   Or Cruz or Noem.

GOP minority rule depends on gun voters and gun donors.

 https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2020-minority.html

So permission granted to explore all possible dead ends
to make sure that they are still dead ends!

 https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/27/politics/mitch-mcconnell-gun-control/index.html

Mental health is a sure dead end - GOP will never vote to
spend money on it.      And anyway, what's insane about
wanting to be immortal in infamy if the alternative is
to be a forgotten loser?     If fetishizing celebrity
is insane, then you have to institutionalize Donald
Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Madison Cawthorn, many
other politicians and would-be and actual celebrities -
every reality-TV contestant - it's not a  little list.
There's not enough prison space, but that's an opportunity
to advance another GOP priority, privatizing justice
and corrections.

But think twice, GOP!    Most of those young men who voice
violent thoughts - the few who act and the many who don't
- are likely GOP single-issue gun voters, so better keep
them on the streets.

It's unfair to say that GOP is obsessed with gun rights
- they're obsessed with minority rule, preserving and
expanding it by all available means, especially by courting
pliable single-issue voters and donors.

 https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2020-minority.html

Nothing like a good massacre to generate insane ideas
from GOP politicians.   Definitely sounds like a mental
health crisis.

Why WOULDN'T you have a gun show right after a gun
massacre?        The massacres are getting so frequent,
you'd never be able to have a gun show otherwise!

 https://apnews.com/article/politics-texas-violence-shootings-af5b4e62e51370da14381018e1ad46da

Trump will be there to congratulate NRA on all it has
accomplished - with Putin's help - including electing
Trump in 2016, almost in 2020, and maybe again in 2024.
Also Abbott and Cruz wouldn't dream of missing it.

Thoughts and prayers!

The families of the murdered shoppers and churchgoers
and schoolchildren can take heart that the thoughts and
prayers of GOP politicians and not a few Democrats are with
them - thoughts of switching the subject quickly back to
inflation, prayers that nobody will ever find out who funds
their campaigns.   It costs tens of millions of dollars
to run for Senate or governor.      The major donors are
really investors expecting return on their investment.
Why shouldn't Putin be able to donate cash as well as
propaganda to American political campaigns?

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Butina

Single-issue voters are a pillar of minority rule, easily
corralled by voting for their single issue.    Likewise
single-issue major donors are a pillar of minority rule,
protected by a free speech cloak of invisibility granted
by a reactionary Supreme Court.

 https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2020-minority.html

If you're outraged and want to do something about firearms,
you'll have to do something about unlimited dark campaign
money and a reactionary Supreme Court.  Expect intense
opposition from GOP of all stripes.
