Imagine if


Simple math, a simple solution, difficult problem and dangerous dilemmas. More people killed by guns and the answer is a always to provide more people with guns. How do we find a compromise to gun violence, is it to create good guys with guns taking us back to the wild west when some folks wore white hats and others a black hat. And for most sane, sensible, non-paranoid, non bigoted people none of the above makes any sense. BUT there is a way to immediately stop this bullying, BS and bogus bastardization of the Second Amendment.

Imagine if we could pass a law which states that each candidate will get the same amount of government dollars if he or she runs for president. Imagine if $1, $5 or even $10 dollars from the Federal income tax was budgeted to go to something called The Fair Democracy Voting Bill. You don’t pay taxes then your only power is to vote. Imagine if ALL candidates could not receive private donations, that the only function of PAC’s was to use their allowed amount of money to do PR, marketing. Imagine what might happen when the NRA would be on the same footing with everyone else and no longer able to threaten, intimidate, or buy the people who run for office. Imagine if Corporations (which a very religious oriented activist group of Justices declared to be human) had the same dollar payout as real humans (you know the kind the Christian right believe begins when that horny sperm finds that enticing egg.) Imagine if bribery died, lobbying became honest and the politicians were free to find their own conscience and not borrow the talking points of their paid for puppet masters. Imagine if the NRA was to play on the same level as anyone else.


The gun problem aside from just anyone able to purchase deadly weapons, is deadly because our politics permit assault with deadly sums of money, murder by bribery, and inaction from the fear of finding your campaign being broke. Americans, must stop ringing their hands breaking their brains to find a compromise; we have seen after 45 mass murders this WILL never happen. But we all know to grow a plant and see it thrive we water it, once we forget or go on vacation without that nutrition of water the plant dies. If the money from the NRA or other Anti-American lobbying stopped flowing into the roots of ruthless politicians more concerned about their future and not the future of their constituents many politicians would might have time to try and regrow, but this time with the conscience of America as their source of food. Guns do kill as long as there are people who use them, politicians who ignore this are killers also. Stop feeding them the ammunition or PAC money, Lobby enticements and maybe more guns and more people with guns may go the way of the Edsel, The DoDo Bird, and the theory that the sun rotates around the Earth!
