Las Vegas

Today’s New York Times plots the more than weekly mass killings in America from 2016 to this most recent tragedy in Las Vegas. After you get over the sadness and shock of Las Vegas, you realize the insanity of gun violence in America. Mass shootings, gangs, suicides, murders, guns in the hands of mentally unstable individuals, the USA leads the industrialized world…by far. If our motto were,”A gun for every citizen,” we’ve already reached that.

The 2nd Amendment has already been stripped of its militia clause. (What are the responsibilities of a gun owner under that clause anyway?). As the number of innocent children and adults murdered by guns piles up, legislators who oppose sensible gun control can no longer claim a stance on principle. They are so deeply in the pockets of the NRA they stink of the smell.

Now this is the spot where we all spew all the curse words we need to. OK, go.

Now we do something. S O M E T H I N G.
