WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

Relating to Gun Deaths

Since the NRA "logic"post this morning, my friend Elizabeth posted this on Facebook:


Guns DO NOT make women safe. A pregnant woman died early Sunday after she was accidentally shot in the head while she and her husband were being shown a gun by their "friend". Her unborn child could not be saved either.


Sad news like this pretty much the norm now.  Only mass shootings or killings at schools or other public places cause a blip on the gun violence radar screen in our heads.  Or with the media talking heads.  My friend Elizabeth doesn't let many gun deaths get by her.  There are so many I can't begin to post them here— and still talk about anything else.  Seriously,  start noticing how many gun deaths are reported--especially child and infant deaths from gunshots.  And many are not reported.


Thanks for being a strong advocate for gun safety, Elizabeth Montgomery!
