We are sick

One of the lead stories locally on our news is that the day of the Newtown shooting and the short-time after set a new record in gun sales in one day.

There is a sickness in this country.

Led undoubtedly by sales of the AR-15, civilian version of the M-16 rifle and the star of Friday's show.

All the gun nuts think that this is shit-the-bed time for assault weapons and they're grabbing as many as they can before a ban goes back in place.

So, fuck `em. Ban the sale of military-grade ammunition, which most of these rifles use, and require firing ranges to recycle their brass instead of saving it for reloading.

And when they scream and holler, tell `em the NRA did it to `em.

Not sure if there really is a causal link to Newtown... I was hearing ads on the [sports] radio last week that the last day to buy in time for a Christmas Eve pick-up was Dec 14th b/c of the 10-day waiting period [this is in California].

I thought it was sick advertisement when I heard it and that was before Newtown... nothing says "true meaning of Christmas" like a gun. "War On..." indeed.

It should not be forgotten that John Lennon's song "Happiness is a Warm Gun" was written to mock an NRA commercial...

You know, I hate to stigmatize autism, but I don't know what else to call a person who values a Thing like a gun more highly than human life itself...
