About Me
- Name: JJ
- Location: Washington, D.C., United States
Post election, post regime change, and hence job loss; here I am, a Canadian political refugee in DC. All ready to exchange my Hill Times for The Hill and my Liberal red for Democrat blue.

Have a look at this and wonder no more:

The bottom line is that it's kind of easy to get a gun of any kind in Virginia.
While DC has very strict laws, all you gotta do is get on the subway and ride for a few stops.
It's very depressing.
Even for someone in Toronto.

As JJ anonymous Dem Pol operative friend and as an American I am disgusted at our lack of gun control laws. The US Second Amendment - the right to bear arms - will be put at the forefront again and inevitable, the gun lobby will discuss how it is people that kill people and not guns, it just makes me ill. It is just sad, another mindless gun massacre which unfortunately won't change anything in the states.
The first thing I heard tonight from the gun lobby in the States, was, "if the students had all had guns, this would not have happened".
What the f*#*^? Every time something like this happens, the answer is always, more guns. What do these idiots not get? I don't care what the percentage of honest gun owners is. By expanding access, you're attracting the dishonest.
I'm sorry, this is basic logic isn't it? What the hell is wrong with everyone?
I don't know what will happen in the US, but in Canada, I hope it opens the debate, I hope it's messy, heated and in the end, logical. Call me a dreamer.
