A gunman in a jacket wordlessly opened fire inside a Wendy's today, killing a firefighter who had gone back to fetch his child's toy. "This was not a robbery. He didn't demand anything," said a spokesman for the local sheriff. "Looks like this was just another random shooting like we've seen around the United States."*
Just another day in America.
Any bets whether this gun entered circulation entirely legally?
If we're going to fight the "long war" against terrorism, why don't we focus on where the terrorism hurts us the most. Let's deny the deadliest weapons to our home-grown terrorists. Let's get rid of all privately owned handguns, assault rifles, and their like. Now.
