And that's not the
half of it -- the half of ALL the unnecessary deaths, due to Guns being misused, in a hateful, deadly way -- the U.S. of A.
It has become "routine" -- in a way that Deadly Viruses -- NEVER become "routine" ...
If only we could call it 'a Virus' ...

If only we could call it '
a Virus' ...
Then maybe the 24/7 "fear and dread" promoting industry -- otherwise known as the Corporate Media,
would treat the Deadly scourge of Mass Shootings like the "Deadly scourge" of Ebola
-- that they once use to send the country into a 24/7 "panic" -- for weeks on end.
If only we could call it 'a Virus' ...
Then maybe the 24/7 "Chicken-hawks" in Congress,
might be bothered enough, to get-up out of their NRA-cowering crouches,
and FINALLY DO SOMETHING about this REAL LIFE, on-going Deadly scourge of Mass Shootings in America, that kills innocent people, on a near monthly if not weekly basis ...
It's a contagion that just is not "going away" on its own. Sadly. Tragically. And far too-often, abruptly Deadly.
Just ask the latest 'infectees', in Roseburg Oregon. At least Ebola victims, get a chance to say "Good-bye" to those they love ...
