Colorado shooting

It’s time to have the gun-control conversation. Most first world countries have had it, and decided that gun control is essential. Only third world countries of a bandit-like sort still fail to control weapons – think Afghanistan, Waziristan, and so on. And they only fail to control their guns because they are basically unable to police the remote areas concerned.

We are not such a country. Unrestricted access to weaponry may have served some sort of purpose once, but that was a long time ago.

It’s time to change.
