The night shift

We do this every day now, sometimes more than one a day.

    … then this wouldn’t happen. They need to make a law that everyone must carry a loaded gun wherever they go.

    Too soon to talk about gun control after this tragedy. You have to wait until it drops out of the headlines and nobody’s paying attention to it, at which point it will be “old news.”

    And it butts up against the next shooting. Which means of course that you can never talk about gun control.
