[ "Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear ordered flags across the state to fly at half-staff until Friday evening to honor the Louisville victims, but some Democratic lawmakers shared concern the expressions of grief will come and go without meaningful gun violence solutions."] [ "My worry is that everybody will raise their fists in anger and mourn and then in six weeks, eight weeks we go back to doing the same – nothing," state Sen. David Yates told CNN on Monday. "I hope that they all don't have to die in vain like so many of the other victims of these mass shootings. Maybe something positive can come from it." ] Democratic socialist do not think about the myopic call for " gun CONTROL " without proclaiming the need for SOCIAL control over ALL the means of production in capitalist society . Guns of all kinds and bullets for all kinds of guns are first of all FOR SALE commodities made for the FREE MARKET in FOR PROFIT factories. A SOCIALIST government would never produce and sell guns and bullets for any mass market. Gun CONTROL should be viewed in the context of SOCIAL control over ALL means of production now privately owned by Corporate America . All this daily mass murder testifies to a very SICK society . You cannot begin to change so many disturbed souls until you create the SANE SOCIETY .
