It's drugs, it's craziness, it's the movies, it's video games. You point out that drugs, craziness, movies and video games are widely available in the UK, Australia, and Japan.

Then they bust out the gun porn pictures and call you ignorant.

Trust me, I know. But I did take action today, and I've been writing letters weekly. I started writing to my own representatives, but I live in New York State and my senators and rep are all on board. So I've switched to writing to Harry Reid, and to the leading Rethugs in both House and Senate.

I just don't fault people for jumping on pleasant news when it happens. We need it.
