a fakie

 No one hurt.  No one injured.

Well except for the mental damage (I found my daughter binging info on school shootings).  And of course missing a day of learning.  And then there are the costs for everyone scrambling around.  But aside from that no one was hurt.  Thanks goodness.

Our country looks like a case study for psych 101.  Doing something that you think makes your feel better even though it actually makes you worse off.  What am I talking about?  Guns.  More guns do not make you safer from gun violence, they make you much more likely to be hurt by gun violence.  Why won't/ can't we take all handguns and guns that use magazines out of circulation?  

If a person walks into a school, or store, or church, or roof top with a bolt action rife how many shots you think they will get off?  If they are lucky and good a handfull.  How many from an AR15 type weapon or an auto handgun?  Many magnitudes more.  Why do we allow our country to be so dangerous?  Cause some guys wrote something in the founding rule book (constitution) about guns in a well regulated militia?  They also allowed for slavery and didn't allow women or people of color to vote.  Maybe they got the idea that individuals should be allowed to posses weapons of war wrong (or maybe the current courts are interpreting the 2nd amendment wrong).

Now I gotta see if I can get my daughter back to watching something sensible and safe like Real Housewives.
