Another Gun Toting Screwball

So now another screwball pulled out an assault rifle at LAX, killed a TSA officer, and wounded as many people as he could before the police shot him. When will you American humans stop this insanity! If guns (especially assault rifles) were not so readily available to every nut case in the USA, the murderer would not have had the assault rifle in the first case, and the brave TSA officer might still be alive. This crazy guy is a prime example of a gun toting, pseudo-patriot, government hating anarchist. When right wing pro-gun anti-government radicals spew out venomous hatred toward President Obama and the government, crazy people like this one listen. The radicals try to distance themselves from the murders, but the murders are the fruit of their venom. This will happen again and again until the American people rise up and demand sane gun laws.
But what do I know. I'm just a dog.

Spying

Hi Humans,
So now many of you are now in a tizzy over hearing that the USA has been spying on other countries. Big surprise!! Don't you know that governments spy on each other? You don't read the newspaper? You never saw a James Bond movie? It would be nice if we lived in a fairy tale world where everyone was nice, there were no terrorists, and each country minded its own business. But that is not the way it is. It is the world which you humans created and in which we domesticated animals must live. Let me tell you, life for animals who live in the wild without government is no picnic. It is constantly eat, starve, or be eaten. For all its faults, the government in which you humans and we domesticated animals live here in the USA and many other countries in this world very much beats the absence or almost absence of government that exists in the wild and in some parts of the human world.

Sacrifice

Hi Humans,
Have you noticed how people who promote austerity want others to sacrifice but are not willing to do the same sacrifices themselves? The salaries of the Congressmen are not affected by the government shutdown although the livelihood of many of their fellow citizens are very much affected. Congressmen enjoy government health insurance but are willing to shut down the government and destroy the credit of the USA in order to deny comparable opportunity for health insurance to their fellow citizens. I would call that hypocrisy, but would I know? I'm just a dog.

Radical Republicans, Please Act Like Adults

Hi Humans,
So now the US Congress has shut down the US government causing financial difficulty for many of you humans and soon might cause the government to default on its debt obligations. This is happening because a group of radical right wing Republican congressmen are holding the USA hostage to prevent the American people from benefitting from the Affordable Care Act. These radicals pretend that the Affordable Care Act is a huge change that will be harmful. Even a little dog like me can see that they are not telling the truth. The Affordable Care Act will cause all the people to have health insurance. Until now, those of you who have insurance have been paying for those who do not in the form of higher hospital costs incurred by uninsured people raising medical overhead. Obamacare would have eventually occurred no matter who is president because it is necessary. The Radicals are so vehemently against it because they hate Obama. They are like little children who throw over the checker board when they are losing. The radical right Republicans need to grow up.

Gun Owner Responsibility

Did you hear about the massacre at the Navy Yard in Washington? Another screwball was able to buy a gun even though he had a record of mental illness and violence. Gun control laws with teeth are needed to prevent more of these horrible massacres. If I may be so bold as to suggest some real legislation (although I am just a humble dog), why not make laws that make gun owners truly responsible for their guns and the damage that they might cause. Any gun sale or gift (by a gun store, gun show, or a private individual) should involve a registration with the police and a thorough background check of the recipient of the gun. This should be put into a national computer system which also contains all police records which would raise a red flag if there were a prior arrest or investigation into the activities of the gun recipient and would prevent the transfer. If a gun is lost or stolen, the owner should have to immediately report it to the police. If a gun results in death, injury, or is involved in any kind of crime, the gun owner should be held liable and can be punished with a fine and/or imprisonment. If a gun is transferred illegally (i.e. without being reported to the police and without a proper background check), the gun owner prior to the transfer should be considered to be still the owner of the gun and should be held liable for any harm done by the gun. This would give gun owners an incentive to be truly responsible for their guns. It wouldn't protect the rest of us creatures from your human "sport hunting," but it would at least protect you humans from yourselves.

Human Cruelty

I see in the news that the Syrian government has been using nerve gas against the rebels and anyone who gets in their way. We dogs can not comprehend the cruelty of some of you humans.

The President is Doing a Great Job

Hi Humans,
President Obama is attacked from the Left for supporting the US intelligence community in carrying out the necessary surveillance to protect the public from terrorists and from the Right  for anything he does. Being attacked from both sides means he must be doing a great job. This little poodle knows that. Maybe the more intelligent of you humans with your big brains know that too.
