Ethereal? I'll say.

I disagree with the Supreme Court's interpretation of the 2d Amendment in Heller v. DC. http://www.lawnix.com/cases/dc-heller.html

I agreed that 'there is NO reason for a private citizen to own an automatic assault rifle with a clip that can shoot 100 rounds in minutes,' and I can think of no legitimate reason for gun ownership by the populace except for hunting animals. 'A well-regulated militia' was necessary in and around 1776.

One of the reasons I went to law school was to advocate for and preserve the First Amendment. I support your right to say whatever, except to shout 'fire' in a crowded theater.

The 'root cause' of the 'horrific events' won't be identified as long as governments can't/refuse to address the causes, due to funding or refusal honestly to examine social matters, which will continue as long as repugs have control.
