At night, we lay on the pull-out bed splayed with college brochures, our brains aching from the brain dump of information we’ve just received. CNN Town Hall - Let’s give the students a voice, they say. Let’s make this Parkland issue relate to politics, and bring NRA and questionable, semi-hated Marco Rubio in for a little cinematic excitement, some drama to contrast against their typical tell-all news.
We watch the event for two or so hours, only preventing tears with our anger towards that NRA representative. The whole time I can’t get myself to understand why.
Why are killing weapons, semi-automatic rifles, easier to buy than handguns? Why can’t they just install tougher background checks? |

Useless mish-mash of nonsense from a immature young woman.
"Foolishness is bound up in the heart of the child," ~~Proverbs 22:15 , and this monolog pretty much demonstrates that old Biblical pearl. |

| And the solution obviously is to make all those nasty icky guns just go away. All 300 plus million now in private hands. And to do that we just give even more power to a government that failed repeatedly to identify and stop the Parkland shooter. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
