Winter worries over the several Polar Vortexes have
given way to Summer Shooting Anxiety, public places'
random murders by gun. The latest, in Las Vegas,
shows how pointlessly, painfully insane such tragedies
truly are--two anti-government extremists, a male and
female, shot two policemen, were shot themselves
and she killed someone else. Could this violence bring
down the government they stated they so hated?
--Hell no.
There are too many guns, too many nuts, and too
many gun nuts residing in the USA. Time to bring
back more sane mental health facilities while issuing
a clarification of the federal constitution's Second
Amendment, a Founders' statement few understand,
apparently. The simultaneous success of these two
suggestions could calm to a simmer Summer
wacked-out Wild West weirdness...
But banking on it is idealism traveling to a bridge
too far to find.

Tragically, a fifth person lost his life because he made the split-second decision to confront the gunman on his own. Joseph Robert Wilcox, who was licensed to carry a concealed weapon, attempted to confront Jerad Miller, unaware that his wife Amanda wgas also armed. She shot him in the back at close range before he could pull the trigger.
ReplyDeleteMany so-called Good Guys With Guns may have the best of intentions, but such intentions can easily go awry. A sworn officer with formal training probably wouldn't have acted so rashly. (Jerad Miller, at that moment, scary as it was, was not posing an immediate threat. He had fired one shot into the air inside a Wal-Mart and had ordered everyone to get out).
