As to the shooting in California yesterday, school children's lives were

saved due to lockdown when they heard gunfire 1/2 a mile away. Was a time when the drill was duck and cover. So the enemy has gone from the Soviet Union (a totalitarian regime at war with the US) to the nut down the street (with access to any gun) in 2 generations. Wonder what the NRA will say.

[mythology]

1. So apparently what stops a bad guy with a gun is a lock

Imagine how many lives we could save if we were to put a societal lock on accessing guns in the first place.

2. For those accused of assault like he was or domestic assault or mental

health issues. I wonder where he got his gun(s)?

3. What will the NRA say? Dunno, but ...

... they’ll probably think it’s a great place for a future convention.

Or maybe not, since the NRA always seems to relish death and mayhem. And it might not be worth it to them (just yet).


And yes, I’m being facetious ... but then again, I’m not that far from the truth either



With saddness and exasperation,
