The hypocrites are going to downvote you

This video is talking about the general population of society. Who don't care and complacently support candidates that vote YES for the policies mentioned in the video.

People get worked up only when they feel things are happening to them. The closer it is to their life and situation the more they will care. No one seems to care over the 80 or 90 gun related deaths a day in this country. They care even less about deaths half way around the world.

It's why all things have to get incredibly bad before we do anything. People simply don't care about anything if it doesn't seem to effect them directly.

The definition of insanity?

Why are people so shocked when MSM doesn't talk about anything?

Just distractions. We have discussed on this forum, protested, & petitioned against all the issues you mentioned much much more than we have for gun safety laws.

And you're youtube claims "where is MSM coverage of our drone attacks?" with headlines of MSM coverage being shown! LOL. Duh!

We must protest the drone strikes, & rights violations, AND lack of gun safety. One is not an excuse to ignore the other. In fact as you allude to, they have a common element. Our violent culture.

Let's rally people on every issue that excites them, resolve every problem we can & attempt to then refocus on those issues less publicized.

Seems more like you want to protect gun owners/makers profits by discouraging action on gun safety by using unrelated distractions.

Kinda classless too.
