@SeaGreenEyez One thing that the second amendmenters can't justify is the forbidding of funding for research into gun violence by the CDC and NIH. It seems that is changing.
@SeaGreenEyez They are so focused on their own perceived rights they don't even know the beginning of the 2nd amendment. They only regurgitate what the NRA tells them.
Thanks.

@SeaGreenEyez no, more like reality
@SeaGreenEyez Maybe we sh0uld start another group. I got kicked out of one group because they wanted only 'positive' (bury our heads in the sand) comments.
@SeaGreenEyez The leader tried to push me out and when that didn't work the group was removed/changed. I understand admins trying to please everyone and not take sides. Some of my environmental comments/postings are unpopular. Many people think denial is a river in Egypt. lol
@SeaGreenEyez I still do make comments with some groups and even with the main site. My late partner actually sought controversies. I don't look for them but am not afraid to engage (civilly) when people get upset.
There was a good discussion of Swalwell's bill for gun Control just proposed by Bill Maher....Here's the link to the show...

@SeaGreenEyez Of course it's "troubling" but he continues to stay on HBO...he continues to attract important guests...and his acerbic wit is just - well, a tab better than Colbert's....IMO....
"When I find myself in times of trouble, Bill and Steven come to me....speaking humorous words of wisdom...Let it be!
