Serial Mass Murder Is A Thing Thanks To Our Constitution

The mass murder by gun at the Umpqua Community College missed out of being the golden anniversary mass murder by a year, it being only 49 years since the inaugural mass shooting at a place of learning in the United States, the University of Texas shooting of 1966, in which 14 people were murdered and 31 injured, shot from a clock tower.  Since none of the names of the victims of these murders is ever mentioned or remembered I won't mention the name of the murderers who are generally the only ones mentioned by name.    I don't point out the number of years since that iconic event in American history and that we are one year shy of the half-century mark as a form of black humor or irony but just as a means of showing how long this problem has been slapping our nation in the face to no effective remedy and as a means of pointing out why that has not been happening. 

Nothing will be done, nothing has been done because the gun industry and its propaganda arm, the National Rifle Association and their property, the Republican Party and the mass media will prevent anything from being done, the thuggish American judiciary will see to nothing happening if they won't.  The excuse will be one of the worst written amendment of the Constitution, a document filled with things that should have been changed by the past two and a quarter centuries but which won't be changed because the method of changing the Constitution contained in the document gives the corrupt, the paranoid and insane a veto on changes to the Constitution.   And, thanks as well to the naivete of our fumbling founders, commercial interests have the most reliable of all vetoes on sanity and morality.   

We are a nation living under a Constitution that does not do the first things it claimed were the reasons for its existence, it does not,  "establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity"  it doesn't even protect us from the gun industry and the most corrupt politicians and media scum who went after the SURVIVORS of the attack on the Sandy Hook Elementary School, it is the vehicle by which the commercial and political sponsors of this serial mass murder among us operate.  This has been going on for a half a century and we are farther away from an any real address of it than were were in 1966 by Supreme Court rulings citing that Constitution.   That fact is all the proof any rational person would need to see that our Constitution is so bad that we can't even use it to stop attacks on SCHOOL CHILDREN.   We are terrorized by the gun industry who are arming the insane, enabled by the legal establishment and the media, all due to the fact that the Constitution enables them and prevents our government from protecting us.   

There, I said it.
