So the real "March Madness" 'barrels' right on into April.
(Update, 4/4/09: And so it goes. On and on. (link) 3 officers killed in Pa. shooting )
Sarah Brady, Chair of the Brady Campaign (to Prevent Gun Violence) says it loud and clear in this excerpt from her org.'s 4/2/09 e-mail message. (I.e., from two days ago.) :
"If there is one more mass shooting in this country, I am going to scream.
Last month, in less than three weeks, we witnessed the deaths of 22 people in mass shootings — in North Carolina, Alabama and California. This is truly March Madness!
If tainted pistachios, peanut butter, or spinach had killed these people, Congress would have jumped in with investigations, re-calls, and insisted that these foods be taken off the shelves in grocery stores.
And yet, Congress has done nothing — has said nothing — in response to these killing sprees...."
Instead, we in the U.S. seem to have "geniuses" like this guy (below) helping to "make the rules":
One more time now: Let's see....If you've got millions and millions of people (all sorts), LOTS of available guns, and little effective control......DUH.
"Close the gun show loophole, ban military–style assault weapons, and limit the bulk sales of guns that feed illegal gun trafficking not only to Mexico, but from one state to another here at home..... Weak gun laws (in the U.S.) lead to easy access to dangerous weapons."
