Well-Regulated Militia Opens Fire On Fourth Of July Parade In Highland Park, Illinois; Cheap Thoughts And Useless Prayers Now Being Rushed To The Scene ... more on this soon-to-be-forgotten-and-then-repeated story as it develops ...

"We've really got to harden these parade routes. One entrance and exit per parade. Ballistic shields on every float and body armor for every baby."

Some politician, tomorrow

Reporter: Any idea how he got on to the roof?
“So the roof was a business and it looks like access to the roof via a ladder in an alley was unsecure.”

I think we can all agree, more ladder control will keep us safe.

Guns don’t kill people, ladders do.

This was a parade with tons of cops and firefighters, apparently non of the good guys with guns could do anything about it.

No other social problem is solved by more of the same. We don’t give alcoholics more booze. We don’t give drug addicts more drugs. Those who wish to quit smoking are not encouraged to smoke more. Yet Church of the NRA believers insist that we need MORE guns. Where’s the logic?
