Yahoo! is my web browser’s start page, so I get a glimpse of the headlines when I start up Safari. See anything striking in the top news section? Gun violence much? To say this country, and indeed the world, doesn’t have a gun problem is like telling a right-wing, gun-toting redneck that his beloved NASCAR racer doesn’t use round wheels. The quizzical look on his face is the same found on my face when I hear the NRA saying that there isn’t a gun problem, people kill people, not guns, and all that jazz.

I used to buy that line, “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” And maybe in a sane and moral society, that line works. But we are dealing with anything but sane and moral. We are living in the downward spiral of something that was once great.

I don’t have time to write anything substantive on this issue, I just wanted to make a point. Hopefully, I’ll be able to devote more time to this topic and expose these gun-rights morons for the illogical and misinformed people they are.
