THANKS AGAIN, NRA.

there was another shooting this week. some guy walked into NASA in texas with a shotgun (?) and killed his supervisor for giving the shooter a bad work performance review that cost the shooter his job.

the fact that the shooter used a shotgun to respond to this review may be one indicator that the dude wasn't really a team player, and may have had the need to keep his mind on his work more than whatever he was actually doing. i dunno, when the mind wanders to things like killing someone, your work tends to suffer.

but the fact also remains that if guns were illegal, he may not have killed his victim. true, the shooter might have used something else. but if it's harder to buy a gun than pick up a club or whatever, maybe there would be fewer deaths.

i know a woman who's husband hunts every deer season to put food on his family's table. but he uses a bow and arrow. he said it makes for a level playing field, as he isn't the greatest shot, and the deer can move really fast. yet he manages to keep venison in his freezer. enough so that his wife and kids won't starve. they may get tired of it, but they eat.

maybe if the shooter had walked to the building with a bow and arrow in hand, someone would have asked the question 'wha'ca doing?'. if the answer was anything other than feeding my family, maybe someone would have stopped him before he got through the door.
