Put simply, a five year old boy killed his little sister
with a weapon marketed to parents as a suitable gun for children, and the US
senate defeated gun control legislation supported by the bulk of American citizens.
These two events are almost incomprehensible to rational
human beings, but both are reality.
The NRA is fond of saying that the only thing that stops a
bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
I wonder which of these (good guy and bad guy) describes the
little boy and his sister.
The USA’s own version of the Taliban is celebrating. There
is an uncanny resemblance between the videos released after a Taliban
assassination and the chest beating emanating from the Houston convention.
It’s happened - the lunatics have finally taken over the
asylum.
