THE AWAKENING SEVENTEEN

At least some people seem to at last be waking up to the truth about The Gun Lobby, namely, that it is a pack of absolute and total lunatics. It's only taken fifteen years or more, and I've lost track of how many mass shootings at the hands of everyone from High School Students to Army Officers and everyone in between, including more than one person killing Elementary School Children, to reach this point. Of course, even now, the lunatics will fight hard to ensure that Private Gun Dealers at Gun Shows can continue to sell guns to people with criminal histories that reach to Pluto and Mental Health Histories that reach to the next galaxy, but it is beginning to look like things may have FINALLY gone far enough that their voices may finally be drowned out by the voices of reason and sanity. Not that they or their allies in Congress and elsewhere will give up their love of power over the good of people without a fight, but now at least, at last, there is beginning to be an army of people that have had enough of gun violence to take them on. I hope there is, and I hope we do win. It may take a long time to win this war, but, now at least, at last, THE AWAKENING has begun.
