Shootings

Hawaii to Seattle to . . . (Nov. 3-4)? What do we do now, folks, run a pool on the next shooting, give future victims a civilian equivalent of the Purple Heart, free mail plus the G.I. bill? If we can’t do anything, then let’s start filling sandbags to place around desks and teaching rostrums. Maybe Hollywood can stop counting its “action flicks” money to do a movie called “Saving John Q. Public.”

It’s a good thing Hawaii has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation. If it weren’t for those laws, seven people at an office building might have died when an insane man decided to kill.
