An underreported aspect of this is the degree to which gun manufacturers have been the subjects of leveraged buyouts and otherwise taken on debt based on models that baked in Obama era rates of increase in sales.

I would imagine that any OTFer who has been to the Napa Valley would have seen this facility, which is huge. SB mentioned The French Laundry earlier today, which is in Yountville.
Reportedly the number of hostages is down to three, and one hopes this is resolved without bloodshed.

Lafayette was 19 when he volunteered to help Washington. Sometimes young people can do amazing things when the situation demands it. These kids suffered a horrible trauma. Lafayette’s in-laws were getting on his nerves.
I didn’t go to the local march we had this morning. I just felt weird about being the lone 45 year old guy among a bunch of kids. But apparently a lot of older people were there including some friends. So I could have gone and I wouldn’t have looked like a narc or a perv.
I generally have a weird phobia about crowds.* those pictures of the crowds in DC give me the heebee geebees.
*And yet, it doesn’t seem to apply at sporting events. Perhaps because everyone (in the US) has a seat.
I couldn’t handle those crowded terraces like in the Bundesliga.

I saw a Wiggum sign like that online also. I wish I had thought of something like that before going to the LA march on Saturday. It's encouraging to see what from appearances are many "regular" people at the march. You can tell that these aren't people that went to many demonstrations prior to Trump, and while that's a problem, it's good that they're taking time out of their lives to do something like this. There were also so many young people there, that was the most moving thing of all.

I don’t think marches actually so much but help people feel less alone and maybe help get them energized for the real efforts of getting out the vote and such.
I certainly wouldn’t want to go on one of those big city demos, but I could go to one around here. They usually get just about a thousand or so people and aren’t cramped.
