Here’s one of my federal senators on assault weapons DiFi This is one of the most powerful senators in the country, on lots of committees.

Until we figure out how to publicly finance campaigns, we are victims of our own government also. Getting the world to understand just how little power your average American really has is a tall order, since they are brainwashed to believe that this is a “Democracy” just like we are.

I found an OpEd on the Supreme Court this morning:

Not to mention the mental tests and safety courses that could accompany any firearm purchase to assure the wrong people don’t get them…

Bush v. Gore

…By December 8, 2000, there had been multiple court decisions regarding the Florida presidential election[8] and on that date the Florida Supreme Court, by a 4-3 vote, ordered a statewide manual recount.[9] On December 9, the U.S. Supreme Court stayed the recount, by a 5–4 vote….

…At an election night party, Sandra Day O’Connor became upset when the media initially announced that Gore had won Florida, her husband explaining that they would have to wait another four years before retiring to Arizona.[51]…
