Gabby Giffords: It’s the Guns. It’s Always the Guns
...
I didn’t grow up in a country with a lot of school shootings, or mass shootings generally.

@Alfred When did Great Britain stop importing indentured servants from India into their Carribean colonies, and how many Indian indentured servants were imported?
"Informed Delivery by USPS" would be a lot more useful with a "Return To Sender" button for junk mail.
Oh, look, defense contractor Elon Musk is making assasinate-the-President "jokes." Might be time for a review of his security clearances.

If the worst happens, I have zero faith that basic vaccines will not get caught up in the hysteria.
