Cry Havoc

THE THREE people leading the march up North Broad Street in the Gun Violence Survivor's Walk and Rally this week were a poignant reminder of the havoc guns play on lives.

Y'know, I've been told by "authorized journalists" that guns go off, kill, fire accidentally, threaten, and terrorize, all by their own selves from the reported accounts, but this is the first time I've heard of one playing havoc.

I wonder if I could teach one of mine to play piano?

I don't suppose it occurs to the hand-wringing editorial writer that the price of guns would go down considerably if they shucked all the useless prior restraints--and the societal cost of individuals committing violence with firearms would go down considerably if government stopped enabling predators and parasites.

  1. I tried to teach all of mine to play chess, but they just didn't seem to be able to grasp the rules of the game.

    I hate these hit pieces, you can't leave a comment and the author remains unknown, probably out of embarrassment.

  2. Havok makes a lot of good games.

    It would be interesting to see how the gun holds the controler and presses the buttons while playing these games... Maybe that is how the people got hurt!
