Hmm! I just read in one of the newsletters I get every morning in my e-mail that Dylann Roof's cousin said that what set him off is that he had the hots for a girl that couldn't see him for dust, but she was dating a black lad. The race of his rival made Roof especially angry.

Dunno what can be done about the gun problem. The genii is out of the bottle. There are so many guns out there that simply outlawing them may not have all that much effect. I doubt that attempting to round them up would be very successful because of the pockets of self-style "Minutemen" and Super-Patriots there are in the country who would simply dig there heels in--or start shooting--if the government were to start such a move. There are such groups of self-appointed militia in Northern Idaho and Eastern Oregon, that I know of, who go out on weekends and hold "military maneuvers," and others scattered around the country. Loonies!!

No easy solutions to the problem....
