Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Will there be a gun massacre in Ambridge? [Read]

Yeah, I know it's just a show, but it's one written to evoke emotional effects in its audience. And it does prove truth is stranger than fiction.

Because the real question is, if there were a massacre in a real village, who would be equipped to do a damn thing about it?

And we all know the answer to that question.

Down in the West Texas Town of El Paso...

Last month El Paso, a sprawling southwest Texas city of 700,000 residents, was named the safest city of its size in the United States for the first time, and it is on track to close out 2010 with just five murders.

But just over the shallow concrete trench of the Rio Grande in Ciudad Juarez, more than 3,000 people have been tortured, shot and blasted to death in gang warfare this year, clinching its grim reputation as the world's most dangerous city. [More]

Damned lax American gun laws...

[More]

Yep.
