  1. Melanie D'Arrigo: "Donald Trump Jr. became an owner and advisor to a company that wants to ship guns through the mail,
    but that’s been illegal for nearly a century,
    so his father just rescinded that rule,
    to help his son's company.
    It’s not a coincidence.
    It’s corruption."

  3. A quotation from Molly Ivins

       I am not anti-gun. I’m pro-knife. Consider the merits of the knife.
       In the first place, you have to catch up with someone in order to stab him. A general substitution of knives for guns would promote physical fitness. We’d turn into a whole nation of great runners. Plus, knives don’t ricochet. And people are seldom killed while cleaning their knives.

    Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
    Essay (1993-03-09), “Get a Knife, Get a Dog, but Get Rid of Guns,” Creators Syndicate column, Fort Worth Star-Telegram

  4. Replacing #aiSafety with #gunSafety in sentences makes me realize more and more that the problem is human behavior and just ... safety.

  5. Watching MSNBC coverage of the #Brown #shooting and they’ve now interviewed _two_ current Brown students who survived previous shootings at their high schools (in different states), and are living through it again at Brown.

    What the fuck are we even doing, except for nothing over and over again?
