There will be more "Dark Knights" (and days) to come.

A mass shooting has once again rocked the American psyche. Sadly, this is just the latest in a long line of random killings that is not going to end anytime soon. Here in America we celebrate guns and the violence they bring. We are such cowboys us Americans. I have to give credit to Michael Bloomberg for his willingness to address the gun control issue head on. Unfortunately, our two presidential candidates are not going to go there


Anyway, you have to wonder about a country where you can't drive a Pagani Huayra but you can buy an AR-15 assault rifle. Still, I won't get on my gun control soap box tonight, unlike certain [right] wingnut politicians who can't wait for a tragedy to say something stupid , (Congressman Gohmert, if the shooter wanted to attack Christians, why do you think he didn't just shoot up a mega- church?) I will leave the soapbox for later.


The back and forth will go on for the next few days, and the happiest people in America will be the NRA lobbyists on K Street. ---I guarantee you that the recession will not be affecting them.--- Whichever side you choose in this debate, I am sure that you feel for the victims and the family members who will have to bury them over the next few days.

Hopefully, one day, we will be able to figure it all out.
