this era will end, too. wayne lapierre and his cursed ilk will die comfortable and rich in their beds, and this high tide of guns fever will ebb. it will take 30+ years, because it's taken 40 years to get to this point.

i won't see it probably, but i believe i will see this massacre exceeded. it's a competition for infamy amongst maladjusted young men at this point.

and the SC is going to change until Clinton. Heller v DC may not outlast it.
