Here in the land of the second amendment no infringement of gun rights will ever be tolerated by the NRA, the gun makers, those who love their guns more than life itself and the politicians who pander to them. The more gun violence and death, the greater the need for more guns. Slaughter twenty children, a hundred or a thousand and the NRA gains supporters and gun sales go up. There is no hope, except the hope that you and yours will somehow escape the carnage.
