14. Imagine a radio ad by an Animal Shelter urging adoption of homeless puppies for Christmas...

Imagine the emotional music and text of such an ad--the sweet soothing tone, the appeal about cute little puppies waiting to give you love and only needing a home to do so.

Now substitute guns for the puppies.

That's what I heard on a Fresno, CA, commercial radio station a few days before the Newtown massacre--an ad by a gun shop, saying that guns want to love you and need you to give them a home this Christmas.

I am not kidding.
