It's headline is "It's Time to Repeal the Second Amendment"
And it is.
I could go on and on about how the 2nd amendment doesn't--or shouldn't--make it legal for every single person in every single state to own as many guns and as much ammunition as they can get their hands on! And about how a "well regulated militia", even if it was ever a valid reason to make guns legal, is no more applicable to our world than are wooden butter churns or small pox vaccinations. And how no one has EVER thwarted a nut intent upon mowing down as many children as possible by using a legally obtained, legally concealed gun of his/her own to shoot the shooter before he completes his grisly task.

How Our States Were Named
I'm having a "Publisher's Special" sale for the next ten days to catch any procrastinators (like myself ) who still have tough names on their Christmas lists, and have already blown through their budget (again, like me ).
If you'd like to check it out...
