  1. "The unthinkable"--yeah, right Our local gun stores are reporting record business today. This always happens after a mass shooting, because people are afraid that the federal government is finally going to institute meaningful restrictions on firearms. Don't worry. If our country couldn't do anything after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in 2012, when twenty kindergarteners and six adults were murdered in cold blood, we won't do anything now. Sandy Hook was a turning point for this country: our refusal to take any steps to prevent another mass shooting means that we've accepted these as a way of life. What's that, this isn't a good time to discuss this? It's NEVER a "good time" to discuss this, is it? So we never do. This isn't the first mass shooting in the US and it won't be the last. And they will just keep getting bigger and deadlier, and it will never, ever, ever be the "right time" to discuss how to prevent it. By the way, I was a teacher for thirty years, including elementary school at one point. If you say "arm the teachers", I'll just ignore you. Because if having teachers pack pistols and rifles is your "solution", you are just too stupid for words. Y'all feel bad about this but you won't lift a finger to prevent another one. You can't bring back these little kids, but you could make the next shooting less likely. But you won't. So save your prayers and telling us all how really awful you feel. So do something. Words are meaningless. Only actions count.
