When I contemplate the high number of idiots who voted against Obama because they thought he would take away their guns (as if that's possible in this country), and I think of the absolute nothing that Obama has tried to do about gun violence (as if anything could be done in this country), I shutter.
As a consequence of his election, the gun freaks have put heavy pressure on state governments to loosen gun restrictions and they are obliging. It is easier to be even more heavily armed and dangerous in many more states now.
You will never live in an America where every crazy person cannot get a gun, and no decent citizen can live without the paranoia that everyone they meet and everyone who occupies the streets at night, is armed to kill. You will never live in an America where schools and churches and restaurants and shopping places are likely to be free of weapons.
