KILLING POLICY
Forget the Movie Massacre Madman.
The world is filled with major league nut jobs lurking in the bushes.
That's not the point.
The point is this:
In the last 60 days, this fellow bought from local shops four guns and 6000 rounds of ammunition, including a drum magazine that fires a bullet every second.
The villain is public policy in America.
We understand the position of the NRA. Cleverly and consistently misreading the Second Amendment, Yankee gun supporters believe in their hearts that they must have the right to own guns, lest they be imprisoned by a totalitarian government.
OK. We get it. Citizens must have the ability to protect themselves from the Official Protectors. Gotcha.
But, tell me this.
When someone walks into a local store and buys automatic weapons and 6,000 rounds of ammo with some loads that will fire with every heart beat, to what party is he heading? A revolution? An uprising? An insurgency?
What is a civilized person in a civilized neighbourhood up to exactly when this is his idea of shopping?
How can a body politic allow the neighbourhood slurpy vendor to dispense this kind of savage fire power like it's Tuscan Chicken Sandwich to go?
No politician in "the greatest country in the world, blah, blah, blah" has to date and to my knowledge had the unarmed courage to stand up to the NRA and its fellow travelers and say, "Enough. We will have guns, but there are some that will not be available and we won't be able to buy Uzi's on the internet."
