4. This is actually the most important thing by far.

I'm old, as in trombones year old (think of the song) and I'm constantly amazed that people think their phones are the most important thing in their lives. They don't read books. They don't watch good documentaries. They just watch crap, or post endlessly on FB.

But yeah, in almost any big city in this country someone can walk the streets carrying an assault rifle.

The real question to ask is Why On God's Green Earth are people allowed to have assault rifles.

I only wish that all those who support such ownership are themselves or their loved ones killed or at least maimed by someone with such a rifle. The truly sad thing is that those murdered had nothing at all to do with him or why he thought it would be a terrific idea to shoot people.
