As this is being typed the news is coming in that gunman have entered
a Toys-R-Us store in Palm Desert, Ca (about 100 miles east of downtown
L/A), and are shooting up the place.

Too early for casualty reports.

The mess in India continues.

What the hell is this world coming to?

I believe that in order to be allowed to have a firearm, one should have
to pass examinations in firearm safety, mental stability, and have never
been convicted of any crime or tresspass with violent overtones,
including sale of a firearm to unauthorized person(s). Anyone who fails
any such exam should be entered onto a blacklist.

The right to bear arms should not be extended to those not qualifying.

Hey, my opinions are mine!!

Extend that to drivers license too. Road rage is more dangerous with more
horse power than any gun and fools can take out groups with one aim and
action. There are a lot of dummies with keys. Fewer carry loaded guns
wherever they go. If they do carry a gun, if sober it might be better to
run you over. That might fly as an accident in court.

A shooting always looks like malice.
