For that hijacker and other sympathizers I would respectfully suggest this strange new thing called headphones... or ear plugs. I've worn 'em to loud concerts and they protect hearing fabulously! Including when you're close up to the origination of the loud noise - as I've been while managing my son's band. Sitting in close quarters handling some of their business while they're rehearsing, it can get as loud as jet noise! But if I have those little ear plugs in, I'm saved!

When you get transferred over to a call to your reps, remind him/her that it's part of the "Share" act.

Kicking this for more visibility.
Awww, man,
I can't even begin to imagine how you're feeling. Thank God she's alive.
Deeply appreciate your sharing this with us - the sense of community here really can buoy you up and help you get through this. My only thought these days is about how desperately I wish I could turn time back.
Yeah, "warmest condolences." WTF???
That makes it all okay? "WARMEST condolences"? Nice 'n' warm, against those cold dead innocent victims' bodies. As of this post, it's at least 58 - FIFTY-EIGHT! - dead, and the estimated number of injured is up by a factor of another HUNDRED.
Oh, but we just gotta have our guns...
Dayum - I had that argument with another mom years ago about the Iraq War.
The day the war broke out, she knew I'd been protesting and attending anti-war rallies throughout the run-up to that abomination that we were LIED into. And she came at me, plaintively, appealing to me to put my flag out, in front of my house, "to support our trooooooooooooops!" I replied - "I AM supporting our troops, by trying to prevent the SQUANDERING of their precious lives in a useless, unnecessary war that we've been LIED into. THAT'S how I'M supporting our troops. By trying to keep them OUT OF THAT so they don't DIE for NO REASON!"
There's a Make-Silencers-Easier-To-Come-By bill moving nicely through Congress right now.
Our own Arkansas Granny looked it up:
It's called "The Hearing Protection Act of 2017". Makes it sound nicer. Bill Bratton, former LAPD chief now NBC Senior Analyst, said it'll get passed.
UNLESS WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT, MAYBE??? (HINT: handy TOLL FREE Capitol Hill Switchboard numbers conveniently located in my sig line below.)
More people DID NOT die in at that Las Vegas country music festival last night ONLY BECAUSE THEY COULD HEAR the rat-tat-tat-tat of the shooter's machine gun.
