Another day in the NRA's America


These kind of headlines (all on the front page of ABC's web page this morning) have become so routine that they are hardly noticeable, and are perfectly okay to the gunner crowd: just the price we must pay for the freedom to amass arsenals and carry lethal weapons in public. Having a gun makes even the most timid, ordinarily law-abiding citizen, "responsible" enough to solve any problem with the finality of gunfire.

This Second Amendment absolutist gun worship needs to stop. The "right" of every Tom, Dick, and Harriet to carry a gun in the public venue is lunacy. More guns = more gun injuries and death.
