(Last time I saw a face like that, it was 2 years old who threw herself on the floor kicking and screaming.  Much like that toddler, I'd love to pull up a chair and enjoy the show!!! 
However, just like that two year old...when it comes to the 2nd Amendment, responsible law-abiding Americans said 'No' and we mean 'No'; my question then becomes:  What do you not understand, the N or the O?  Geez.)

The Senate Gun Control Vote Reveals Our Lizard Overlords
Testosterone Pit

We’re cooked, America. We’ve put people with the temperament of used care salesmen into power and allowed them to believe that what’s best for them personally is best for the nation. So while it sounds funny that something like 4% of Americans believe the country is run by lizard people, the fact of the matter is that the country is run by people who only use their lizard brain.
