School has been back in session for about a month and guess how many headlines

involving guns at school have made the papers? Count 'em if ya' want, but there are 29 headlines below. I'm sure the parents count themselves among the "responsible and law abiding" gun owners.

Do you have a child in school? Ask yourself, "Do I feel lucky today?" Well do ya'?

I think maybe it's time to have mandatory gun safes written into law. Buy a gun and buy a gun safe at the same time.

Sometimes I am amazed that in 2015 we have to discuss this, at all.

But, I see Exxon lying about climate change, libertarians on liberal message boards pretending to be liberals, and then this gun bullshit.

And it doesnt have to be like this.

Plain English is how the 2nd is written.

Easy to understand.
