Not what I was expecting.

Against the odds and in the aftermath of major mass shooting tragedies--from Columbine to Aurora theater shooting, the King Sooper Boulder massacre, and plenty of others in between and after--has tried to enact effective laws. However, Eastern Plains and Western Slope conservatives and libertarians have tried hard ever since to overturn or prevent their being enforced. And as one who has had to frequently commute I-25, encountering the arrogant aggressive driver with a gun is always on my mind. sigh...

Before you can get a gun in France you have to undergo medical and psychological evaluations. It cuts down on the concept of arming the left side of the mental health bell curve.

In the States, we arm the left side of the mental health bell curve because every mass shooting causes gun sales to go up, which profits the gun industry so much that they can buy senators and congressmen. They in turn refuse to do the things to limit gun sales to the left side of the mental health bell curve.....and the cycle continues.

It's all thoughts and prayers until it's your son or daughter.
