A Modest Proposal 0
At The Roanoke Times, Karen Gilbert, who survived the mass shooting at Virginia Tech a decade and a half ago (how much more numb have have become since then?), offers a modest proposal for dealing with American’s red tide of gunnuttery. A snippet:
She is an optimist if she thinks that, as a society, we are willing to learn from others, especially as regards (some) Americans’ fervid fetish for portable phalluses.

Susan Young, opinion editor of the Bangor Daily News, calls out the vacuous–nay, hypocritical and logic-free–rationale* of those Republicans who refuse to take action against the wave of gun violence. A snippet:
“We’re not going to fix it,” Tennessee Republican U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett, said when asked about the shooting on Monday. “Criminals are going to be criminals.”
By that rationale, we shouldn’t have any laws at all.
