Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:

Stillwater turned down a gun range – it would have taken up too much of the land set aside for an office park – but Oakdale approved one, soon to the largest in the state.

Hopeful signs in a time of increasingly shrill demands for gun control.

The demands are indeed getting shrill – which is much better than 25 years ago, when they were confident and self-assured.

They’re shrill because they’re losing.
