The real power for gun law changes lies with our elected officials Senators and House Reps. in D.C

My thoughts on guns, the media, mass shootings, and the NRA:

The real power for gun law changes lies with our elected officials Senators and House Representatives in D.C., not with the NRA. The NRA only has so much power as they are given, the media should stop giving them so much air time, and add more time to Senators and House Representatives. 

The media is currently mostly presenting NRA plans, instead of plans to actually help stop gun violence, and mass shootings. Guilty-->> CNN 

Some of the plans to help prevent mass shootings include, better funding for mental illness sufferers. And a ban on assault weapons, and certain clips.

CIA Slammed by European Court For Torturing Wrong Man

"A European court issued a landmark ruling Thursday that condemned the CIA's "extraordinary renditions" programs and bolstered those who say they were illegally kidnapped and tortured as part of an overzealous war on terrorism.

The European Court of Human Rights ruled that a German car salesman was an innocent victim of torture and abuse, in a long-awaited victory for a man who had failed for years to get courts in the U.S. and Europe to acknowledge what happened to him."*

Khaled El-Masri, a German citizen, was illegally kidnapped, tortured, and sodomized for months by the CIA, and they later found they had taken the wrong man, that El-Masri was in no way a terrorist. Now, a court has found in El-Masri's favor. Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (Host, Turner Classic Movies), and John Iadarola (Host, TYT University) break it down.

Obama says US failing to keep children safe

Barack Obama says the United States must do more to protect its children from violence. The US president spoke at a special service in Connecticut to mourn the killing of 26 people, including 20 schoolchildren, in an attack on the Sandy Hook primary school on Friday. It was an emotional speech, and came with a promise that Obama will do what he can to prevent gun violence. Al Jazeera's John Terrett reports

Climate Change Studies: Less than 1% Reject Global Warming

"I was thinking of writing a lengthy post about climate change denial being completely unscientific nonsense, but then geochemist and National Science Board member James Lawrence Powell wrote a post that is basically a slam-dunk of debunking. His premise was simple: If global warming isn't real and there's an actual scientific debate about it, that should be reflected in the scientific journals.

He looked up how many peer-reviewed scientific papers were published in professional journals about global warming, and compared the ones supporting the idea that we're heating up compared to those that don't. What did he find?"*

Climate change deniers don't have any real scientific footing. A study of peer-reviewed climate articles published for a span longer than a decade revealed that fewer than 1% rejected the idea of global warming on a scientific basis. Then why are both sides given equal media coverage? Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Ben Mankiewicz break it down.
