You Can Never Have Too Many Firearms

Police officers found 23 firearms in the Mandalay Bay hotel room Paddock occupied, Assistant Clark County Sheriff Todd Fasulo said.

Also, investigators now say that 19 firearms have been found at the man’s Mesquite, Nevada home.

May I ask how many hands this person had?

Or were those guns not reliable, so he needed backups?



Always, we look for a motive. Something to tell us this is an aberration and can't happen with the alarming frequency that it does and will continue to do. We are obviously daft.  We're a violent, aggressive nation that glorifies gunslingers and military action. And we have easy access to firearms. Not too difficult to understand the results.

I don't want to ban guns. An unarmed citizenry is a citizenry easily subdued and oppressed by its governors. But, as long as our culture is a shoot-em-up, warrior-worshipping, shit-talking, racist, female-disparaging culture, and we insist the sale of military grade weapons - and the USE of them by our civilian police forces - is our Constitutional right, and refuse to approach drug addiction and mental illness (and "patriotism" and domestic abuse and police brutality) as national epidemics that require, at the very least, a finessed and medically-oriented solution, and think the death penalty and harsh punishment is the answer, this is our national life.  

USA! USA! USA!  

Stop pretending we want peace.  We spend all our money on war.  What's that old saying?  Put your money where your mouth is.




 ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
