Two mass shootings over the weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Majority Leader Gazelka had an excellent response:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As does Representative Munson<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us, indeed, think about the “why”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a friend asks – “do they make these in a lab?” “Copycat killer” has a whole new meaning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way; over the weekend – a “progressive” from the invincibly ignorant set bellowed (rhetorically) at me “askiing” if I’d renounce “white supremacy” in the wake of El Paso. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a groaningly stupid and insulting thing to say – I did mention he was from the invincibly ignorant crowd, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t told him “This is the appropriate response to ‘white supremacists’ with firearms on shootings sprees<\/a>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, for that matter, a good guy with a gun did in fact help out<\/a> in El Paso. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berg’s 18th Law is still in effect. Stay tuned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE: In related news, Neil DeGrasse Tyson will never do lunch in Berkeley again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
