Koch/Mercer-Funded Libertarians Have Taken Over the GOP

The traditional conservative party has been overrun with Koch/Mercer funded libertarians. They have an agenda that has nothing to do with democracy - and have made huge inroads creating an oligarchy in its place. They don't negotiate and they take no prisoners, and more than anything, they don't like to share--money and resources. The lives of the majority of Americans are inconsequential in the face of their agenda--unfettered control of our country. They are much more of a threat to our safety and well-being than middle-eastern terrorists. Only a united, large and sustained opposition will save us.

Paddock's Apparent "Normal" Profile Underscores the Need for More Research on Gun Violence

Stephen Paddock didn't fit the stereotype of a mass murder, yet, that is exactly what he was. To say there is a need for further research on the causes of mass gun violence is an understatement. Yet, for political purposes, any government research into this very common danger has been banned. We have people like the current governor of Kentucky tweeting nonsense "that evil can't be regulated," as if we should discard the entire criminal code and criminal justice system. At some point, public safety should matter and the current ban on government research into gun violence should be repealed.
