      Except shooting people dead. That is never out of fashion.

      I sincerely wish the NAACP would pull a brilliant play and embrace the NRA. Start a whole campaign about how Black Americans need to exercise their second amendment rights. Organize gun buys. Have 30 Black people show up at a gunshop and all buy handguns. Nationwide.

      We’d have gun control in two weeks.

    Up to four now: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/11/14/564117257/at-least-3-reported-dead-after-shooting-at-school-other-locations-in-california

    EDIT: Key bit: The suspected shooter, whose name has not been released, was involved in a “domestic violence incident” reported by neighbors before the shooting, he said. 

    And of course the fucker was shot down.

    The gunman, who has not yet been identified

    Good. Don’t. Bury him in an unmarked ditch.

      Personally, I want his name.

      I want to include it in the list of names I am compiling for when I go to court and have my protection order denied.

      I want the media to look into this guy. I want to know how many women filed for protection orders against him and how many of those were granted. I want his picture to show how normal he looks. I want the people who knew him tangentially and thought he was “such a nice guy” to doubt the fuck out of themselves. I want every last goddamn person in this country who doubted the story of a woman who talked about being abused to wonder if they could be one of those “random targets” next.

      I want people to know what the Lautenberg amendment is and why it is both important and incomplete. I want people to have names and faces to go with their mental image of “domestic abuser” and “domestic terrorist” and to understand that, for many women, those are one and the same.

      I’ll be honest. I want vengeance. I’d settle for justice. I’ll get nothing. But I won’t stop wanting.

    Thank you Dead Scalia. I’m sure him and Jesus are out at the big target range in the sky right now. (In fairness Scalia did leave open the option of restricting military-style weapons in Heller v. DC and the NRA heartily embraced .... um no.)

    The Purge is a bad movie series that is written with naked intent to profit off gratuitous violence by displaying the horror of an America that has turned to genuine worship of violence and a love of guns that makes the modern NRA seem downright Ghandi-esque. As a criticism of America’s problems with gun violence and American capitalism, it’s ham-fisted.

    But given the insane pace of mass shootings in the last 3-4 months both in terms of frequency and with how fast they flush out of the news cycle... it’s harder and harder to cringe at those things as the series tries to beat home that message in an oafish manner.

      The way things are going, one night of killings per year would bring the murder rate down. An improvement.
