  1. I have feelings. First: I disagree with many of the things Charlie Kirk has said and done. Second: Charlie Kirk absolutely deserves to be alive. This is a tragedy for (especially) his family, and for all of his friends, or those who respect him. Third: there are people in the world who will or plan to do evil. Some of those people are mentally ill, some are just evil people. I have no doubt that whoever did this fits into one of those categories. Fourth: guns are force multipliers. Guns make bad people vastly worse. It makes their bad acts vastly worse. Fifth: lots of bad people have guns; and these bad people ignore all laws. They possess guns illegally, they use them for illegal acts, they take them to places where it is illegal to take them. Sixth: because they ignore the law, new laws are not going to stop them from having or using guns. Seventh: one attractive target zone for these people is "gun free zones" -- because there, they know they will face no opposition. Therefore, the more gun free zones there are, the more places for bad people to do bad things. The people who might otherwise have stopped them, can't! Because these people **do** obey the law, if they are in a gun free zone, they are gun free.

    Everything I just said is horrible. The underlying problem is: there are bad people with guns and we're not doing anything to make there be fewer bad people, to recognize when particularly bad people are about to do bad things, or somehow keeping guns out of the hands of bad people. I don't know good answers to any of these problems.

    I **do** know that some of the things we are doing that we **think** will fix these problems actually do the exact opposite. Adding more laws and gun free zones which impact only law abiding citizens just makes things worse.

  18. This story is near the top of the Guardian news page in the UK…the world is watching and wondering why children are being shot for innocent mistakes like letting let a ball roll into a neighbour’s yard? And it feels like we’ve read a similar story every day this week…

    We have an old saying that every Englishman’s home is his castle…but its not an actual legal defence.

  26. While the US 2nd amendment might have saved many lives at the time (1791 !), it is now costing many lives and therefore needs to be changed with urgency. What was perhaps a blessing initially, is now surely a burden.

  30. 1 in 5 Americans have had a family member killed by guns according to latest research.

    That is sobering statistic that simply does not exist in any other democratic developed country.

    Civilised countries protect their citizens.

  35. Tennessee Republican ASSAULTS Democratic Representative on Camera because he was pissed kids in TN were protesting against gun violence. The republican party is a criminal, fascist, crime syndicate and if we want a democracy in this country, we had better get serious about making the republican party go the way of the Whigs.
