    It probably isn't very hard to smuggle guns into Canada.

      Sometimes Tubbs is prescient

      Sarah Huckabee Sanders: We don't want to create gun laws that won't help. For example, look at all the murders in tough-on-guns Chicago.

          Christ. I wasn't thinking of Trump's actual spokeswoman.

            Does anyone ever ask why it's premature?

              Can't say much more than this.

                Yes but that response is so facile any first-year journalism student could bat it straight back.

                  The Governor of Kentucky speaks.

                  To all those political opportunists who are seizing on the tragedy in Las Vegas to call for more gun regs...You can't regulate evil...

                  "I'm just off now to abolish the entire Kentucky criminal code", he added.

                    I don't know what they teach in journalism school, but corporate group-think and in interest in being agreeable to obtain "access" tends to override any integrity, especially on TV.

                        I've been breaking my CNN boycott for the last 2 hours and not learned a damn fucking thing so far.

                        No mention of good control, obviously, although MSNBC has ventured there but only in a hand wringing sense, no specifics.

                          Oh joy! The 'delightful' Danny Tarkanian (see Nevada/US politics threads, passim) has been allowed to haunt the airwaves once again. Hasn't Vegas suffered enough?

                            Does anyone not ask why it's too late?
