Hi Humans,

Don't be shy. If you want to comment on my blog entries, please do so. You don't have to be a dog to say what you think. or if you have a pet dog and want to have your dog speak for you, that's also OK. I would like to hear from you or your dog.

LIVES DO NOT MATTER TO THE NRA

Hi Humans,
This has been a week of one tragedy after another. Some emphasize Black Lives Matter. Some emphasize Police Lives Matter. Actually All Lives Matter (including us dogs and other mammals). But what is the solution? Some emphasize better training for the police and the recognition that there is racism among a minority of police as there is in a minority of all occupations. Some emphasize supporting the police. They protect the community and the rule of law. But there is something that is not said enough that greatly outweighs all the other factors. That is GUNS! Police have to make split second decisions. If there were not so many guns out there, the police would not have to be on edge. There would be less mistakes. If the screwballs who murdered police in Dallas and Baton Rouge did not have access to mass killing weapons that outgunned the police, the carnage would have been less. If they did not have easy access to guns in this US gun anarchy with a Congress ruled by the NRA, the tragedies might have been avoided altogether. What right does the NRA have to put police in danger so the gun lobby can increase profits? In Cleveland tomorrow they will lay the blame everywhere but where it belongs, on the NRA and themselves for cowardly bowing to the wishes of the NRA.
