I'm back home and I just feel raw.

105. Wow - no kidding about feeling held hostage be these assholes.

That's exactly how it feels! I'm with you - let 'em rant. They've HAD their way on this again and again and again and again, and how many mass shootings have we had by now? I've lost count. I heard someone calling into either Randy Rhodes or Stephanie Miller and say something REALLY great: "MY right not to be shot to death outweighs your right to bear arms." I couldn't agree more with that one, either.

I don't feel ONE BIT safer knowing there might be multiple people packin' heat around me. That makes me feel much more in danger of great bodily harm. I wonder how many people on the freeway in SoCal these days are armed. Traffic is remarkably ungodly here anymore. LOTS more impatient and pissed-off people on the roads all over town nowadays. The congestion on the freeways and surface streets is heavier than EVER! Almost every hour here, anymore, is rush hour. Except of course between maybe 3:30am and 5am. If you figure even one in 20 is carrying a concealed weapon, with all the fear and hostility and paranoia and rudeness manifesting out there on an increasing basis, it makes for some very unsettling moments, and lots of scofflaws. We've certainly seen our share of road rage. And somebody with a gun could be anywhere around you within a 100-foot radius.

Scary. The LAST thing we need to throw into this witches' brew is more guns. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph - WHAT ON EARTH IS WITH the louie gohmerts and rick perrys of the world?????? What did their mothers feed them for breakfast every morning when they were growing up???????
