Fuck the NRA. This is madness.

Going back to the Bolder, CO shooting we have had something 7 or 10 mass shootings. I started to look
up the #s and places but I didn't have the heart to.

BTW I hunt and have owned guns for years and if they wanted them take 'em back in
a national gun control program I would be OK with that.

Wintering on Emerald Isle NC.

Lovely time.

We kept saying we wanted to visit Wilmington but just never quite got the opportunity.

Now I’m wondering if we will next year.

Is it a safe place? Or are these shootings more along the lines of private home based stats, as opposed to school shootings or church massacres??

We wanted to check out the waterfront and grab a bite at one of the Guy F’s Triple D places he featured on his Food Network show.
