Playtime

It should really be over. Presenting into evidence:

• People who know next to nothing about guns.

• People who know something about guns.

We could use a species-wide time-out.

    I’m sure if Derbyshire were there he would have been shouting, “Serpentine, Shelly! Serpentine!”

    I’m a fair hand with a weapon, but while running through such scenarios in my head, I was pretty sure that I’d run across the SWAT team first, and THEY’D gun me down.

    Here’s something else, though: every single one of these features a bit where officers “exchange fire” with the shooter, to no avail. WTF? What are we paying those guys for? Either they’re under-trained, or they’re outgunned. I don’t want to see campuses become walled off and filled with detectors, so my solution is to train and arm cops properly–give ‘em an AR-15 and a proper training regimen, not a wussy 9mm and a Starbucks discount card.

    So long as those same cops aren’t like busting up house parties and 420 gatherings, I mean.
