The Madness of Our Gun Culture

Re: the meme here, a reader notes: We are devolving back into the days of the Wild West. Guns everywhere and shootouts in the middle of crowded streets.

In truth, the “wild west” of the late 19th Century was far more sane than what we’re forced to endure here in the 21st.

Yes, there were gun fights, but did either contestant try to kill anyone but his enemy?

We have people going into schools, intent on murdering as many little kids as possible?

Was there a multi-billion dollar gun lobby making it impossible for us to protect the lives of our children?
