Let me state right here and now, on the record, plain as day but thrice as stupid: this latest shoot-up in California where 12 people died, has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH GUNS!

Ok, that was just in case anyone out there in bloggerland is so higgorant, so asinine, so… so… so goddam Democrat! as to believe that this tragedy, which is the first of its kind in nearly 2 weeks, fr gud sake, not like its a daily event!, believe it has anything other than mere coincidence and non-causal correlation with our wonderful, free, liberal US gun laws.

Or lack of them really, cos if you live in most places out here in Hicksville, its a darn sight easier to get a semi-automatic assault rifle, sniper-scope, enhanced magazine with easy conversion to fully-automatic, than it is a pizza. Thing is when you order a pizza they don’t do a mental health check, criminal record check, suitability check. There again they don’t when you order a gun neither.

At least it wasn’t another school. This latest shooting was a college bar instead. So these poor innocent victims had enjoyed most of their teen years before having the rest of their lives removed, deleted, ended in a flash. No re-set button on death.

And although a bit simplistic in what is a very complex issue, the posters telling Americans that they can choose their children or choose to have guns, makes a very telling point.

Trump attacked Theresa May’s comments about America and guns by stating how Britain, particularly London, is the knife-crime capital of the world. Which currently would appear to be true. And tragic too. The difference is that our stabbing virtually all take place within the rarified world of drug gangs. Not saying that’s good, not saying anyone ever deserves to die like that, but its a problem specific to that particular culture. And anyone who might be nearby to get culturally involved, unfortunately.

America has guns. Virtually everyone. Well, everyone who wants one. As is written into the constitution of the Unaaarted States of ‘Merica. Amen.

You can’t legislate against people with mental health issues, like yesterday’s killer. But having loads and loads of guns lying around does nothing to limit the potential for the mass tragedies which keep on occurring.

Happy Friday
