Thank you Thom. I live just south of Highland Park in Evanston. I got the alert around 10:30 that there was an active shooter and that over 2 dozen people had been shot yesterday morning. The estimate now is that the shooter shot 50 rounds of ammunition in a few minutes time before dropping the weapon and escaping from the rooftop. Celebrations and public events were canceled throughout the North Shore. This should not happen anywhere. A further 57 people were shot in Chicago in separate incidents, with 9 dead as of Tuesday as reported by NBC. Meanwhile we get gutless, watered-down 'bipartisan' gun bill barely passing which will do nothing to stem the flow of weapons to bad people. The NRA has used the courts to get its way and create this nonsensical interpretation of the 2nd amendment to make civilian gun sales a multi-billion dollar industry.

In the 60s, the NRA supported gun control

when the Black Panthers had them.

Maybe we do have an answer.
