Yesterday I posted a comment online in support of this letter to the editor...

http://www.dailycamera.com/letters/ci_22177062/andrew-j-oconnor-time-repeal-second-amendment

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. Or how "this isn't the time to discuss it".

This is the PERFECT goddamn time to discuss it!

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...
