canyonwalkerOops, it happened again. Another nut with easy access to military style weapons walked into a business, school, or house of worship and shot people indiscriminately. A shooter in Lewiston, Maine entered a bowling alley and a bar and killed 18 people and wounded at least 13 more on Wednesday night. Police quickly identified a local man as the suspect, but 36 hours later he is still at large. Residents across Maine have been under shelter-in-place orders and many schools are closed for a second day as heavily armed authorities continue their manhunt.
Meanwhile our politicians remain ideologically deadlocked. "The problem is the human heart. It's not guns, it's not the weapons," new Speaker of the House Mike Johnson told the media. (Yes, the House managed to elect a new Speaker after 3 weeks of Republican caused chaos. Blog coming on that soon.)
Here's the problem with that "It's not guns, it's people" argument.... Every nation on earth has people with hearts. Yet the US is alone in having a civilian mass shooting practically every day. What's the difference between the US and every other developed nation— all of whom have 100% humans with hearts? It's the guns, stupid.
