Hard
Lessons
 Do
you want to know why Adam Lanza shot all those little
kids
at Sandy Hook Elementary? It's because the U.S. supply
of explosives and poisons and superacids are tightly
controlled
by effective laws.
Assault
rifles and bullets, on the other hand, are cheap and
plentiful. And while the ears of the Feds perk up when
you buy too many bags of fertilizer they're completely
deaf to some kid barely out of high school buying 6000
rounds of assault weapon-type ammo.
But it's not the
fault of the police or the FBI. The NRA wrote the
rules that shield gun-owners from surveillance,
and their well-greased puppets in Congress happily
passed them.
(Let me state right now that we don't need stronger
surveillance laws in this country. We simply need fewer
guns. In fact, none.)
Shooting children also makes a great political statement.
It says "Look at what your precious Second Amendment
lets me do!
And
I spit in its face while I take your precious, innocent,
helpless children to Hell with
me!"
We can now only wait for the next inevitable Sandy
Hook because there are no laws in this country that
can
protect our children from the next inevitable Adam
Lanza. But
we can start passing laws to restrict access to guns
right now and
it starts with you and your phone and the number of
your congressman.

Dianne Rehm Show featured author Susan Crawford, an
expert in communications, talking about
the cable and internet industry. It was a fascinating,
enlightening and, ultimately, enraging program and

And this nit-wit is why America needs gun control.
He actually thinks guns are the answer.
