I'm blurring my literary tablecloth with lines from two old tunes, one from Grandmaster Flash and one from Warren Zevon, . Ain't a damn thing funny, it's all about lawyers, guns, & money.
If I could trust government , I'd be tempted to say, tighten the gun laws a little. It's clear that criminals have and always will be able to acquire guns so making it tougher for law abiding citizens to carry will not clear the streets of lunatics and terrorists.
The old adage of do as I say not as I do: Hollywood heavyweights and gun grabbing lawmakers have armored guards and special gun permits while waving more alleged common sense restrictions at the common folk.
News networks , please leave the citizens of Newtown, CT alone. We know what happened and how horrible it was . Get the cameras out of their faces and let them deal with their grief.
The University of MD violates the MD sunshine laws while breaking it's contract with the ACC, and then says we won't pay the exit fee. I wonder what the pre-law students think about that. Then I just have to laugh as big time universities proclaim their admiration for the student athletes while breaking contracts and loyal connections in pursuit of the almighty $$$.
Let's see if I can return to a sunny outlook for the rest of Sunday.

The gun grabbers are bemoaning the lack of federal action six months after Newtown. Obama and crew have proven that your privacy is not sacred and Nixonian enemies' lists are back in vogue. Bloomberg, the #1 nanny statist, is bent on hurting Dems in red states. Keep the hits coming.Plenty of gun laws on the books: ENFORCE them

My response to the latest gun protests: Obviously high school teachers in the USA are not instructing students well on history and civics. Thank God we live in a Republic which requires 38 states to repeal an amendment. Plus, I'm still looking for proof that the #NRA has been using guns to kill high school kids.

It's disturbing to hear the Las Vegas police chief #Lombardo whining that his Dept was forced to turn over documents relating to the 10/1/17 mass shooting at a country music concert . Plus, they haven't turned over all the requested documents . Apparently he doesn't grasp that the lack of any transparency breeds distrust across the political spectrum. More and more public officials are using labor costs as an excuse to not inform the public.

Nevada’s Supreme Court ruled gun manufacturers cannot be held responsible for the deaths in the 2017 Las Vegas Strip mass shooting because a state law shields them from liability unless the weapon malfunctions. Wow, the NVSC stuck to the law.
