A straight line, no. It's a long, winding and splintered road with a lot of switchbacks and forks and cul de sacs. But ultimately, when enough of the branches converge, it ends up in the same bloody place.

As a longtime owner and user of firearms, I am filled to overflowing with anger, revulsion and contempt for the Right and their absolute steadfast refusal to not only not do the simplest of things to try to address the problem of ubiquitous gun ownership and possession by unstable, irresponsible or just outright plain old bad or stupid people, but to even engage in anything resembling a credible conversation about the subject.

Technically and strictly speaking, I wish physical harm on no one. But it's too bad we don't have a way to put into pill form the pain and loss the surviving victims and their families and those of the dead feel when these senseless and largely preventable killings occur, for I would happily cram an entire bottleful down each and every one of the any weapon, anytime, anywhere crowd's throats.
