3. this would have been more effective

if he'd still been playing ball instead of retired. Nice headlines to upset the NRA. At least he didn't shoot someone else.

4. Another triumph for 'law-abiding gun-owners' everywhere.

I wish I could be hopeful that this is a species that would self-select for extinction. But unfortunately, they seem determined to take a large number of us sane people with them...

7. did he get an assist for that?
