There will be 837 marches happening around the gl0be to demand sanity from the United States of America and its insane gun regime.

The Gun Cult and its wholly owned subsidiary, the GOP, has made an implacable enemy of a whole generation of kids who clearly understand that the GOP does not care if they live or die.

This fall, 4 million of them will be able to vote for the first time–and they are coming for the Party of Trump.

It could have been a golden opportunity for the Christianist liars who say, “All Lives Matter” in order to shout down black people to put their money where their mouth is, be fully prolife, and stand with good kids who just don’t want to live in fear of slaughter anymore.

But of course, Christianist liars are liars when they say all lives matter.  Only lives convenient to the GOP and the Gun Cult matter and that is sure as hell not the victims of Parkland whom the Gun Cult went from “respecting in this time of tragedy” to smearing as “crisis actors” within a matter of days once it became clear that they were not going to take it any more.

Since then, the Gun Cult has taken a  helluva pounding from these kids, against whom no weapon the Gun Cult forms has prospered.  The smears have all failed. Corporate America has frozen them out.  People are laughing down their lies.  Even YouTube turned on them, along with Dick’s Sporting Goods and assorting other companies.  LaPierre is freaking out.

And now the GOP has finally cracked and said the CDC can do the study of gun violence they have wanted to do for 20 years (and the GOP has forbidden in its lickspittle servitude to the arms industry.  That is historic, assuming they really let them do it and don’t try to dictate to them what they are allowed to find.

And all because, by the grace of God, some kids said, “Enough.”

Be more prolife, not less.  Listen to the Church when it calls us to defend all life from conception to natural death.
