  1. The bloodiest 4 of July ever…America the Blood bath…

  2. Uh oh…mass shooting on a really wyt holiday in a really wyt traditional gathering in wyt suburbia. As the "plus sized" (Bob Evans truant looking) wyt lady in the CNN interview said today, "we hear about these mass shootings all the time in the lower class parts of the country but for it to happen here, this is personal and unacceptable. NOW something has to be done! I used to conform to my patriarchal master of the house's gun clingy script and just pan it off on mental health and Chicago gangs, but we need to stop joking around and worrying about angering the old wyt "me luv me gun" rightwingy community elder types, or looking like the weak libflakes in the machine shop break room if we say anything critical about guns and what a joke America is compared to more advanced countries on the Pacific rim…" Okay, maybe I elaborated a little on what she said. The shooter was a Trump supporter. There are pics of him with a big Trump flag.

  12. US states with the highest homicide rate are the Republican-led states of Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Missouri. 9 of the top 11 states with the lowest per capita state spending on law enforcement are the Republican-led states of Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, South Dakota, West Virginia, South Carolina, Iowa, Arkansas and Indiana.

  13. Whoever the shooter is, hope you get caught and put to death

  14. “If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons intrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.”
    – Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28

  15. “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country.”
    – James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789

  16. “And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms; or to raise standing armies, unless necessary for the defense of the United States, or of some one or more of them; or to prevent the people from petitioning, in a peaceable and orderly manner, the federal legislature, for a redress of grievances; or to subject the people to unreasonable searches and seizures of their persons, papers or possessions.”
    – Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, 1788

  17. “A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent on others for essential, particularly for military, supplies.”
    -John Adams, speech to US Congress January 8, 1790

  18. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

  19. “No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” – Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776

  20. “On every occasion [of Constitutional interpretation] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying [to force] what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, [instead let us] conform to the probable one in which it was passed.”
    – Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, 12 June 1823

  21. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
    – Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776
