1. Something I learned in the past 24 hours about diehard pro-gunners

It doesnt matter how many gun related deaths take place, it doesnt matter how many mass shootings happen, It doesnt matter how many terrorists or the mentally ill get a hold of firearms, they are not giving up their guns and they're ready to kill or seriously wound anyone who tries to.

They do not care about stats, numbers, facts or anything else for that matter. The gun is all that matters and fuck everybody else.

2. More than 600,000 Americans died since 2001

because they didn't have health care.

Another 33,000 or so are dying this year.

Even more may die in 2017 if a Republican wins the White house because they'll be in a position to end Obamacare which saved about 16,000 lives per year.
