I don't have much to say today, but in light of the stunning events of early this week, I want to pose a question to you, America. There is a bill pending before our congress to legalize silencers in the same way as "bump stocks"--the things that attach to semi-automatic rifles to make them automatic, 600-shot-per-minute machine guns--have been legalized, that is, if the bill passes people will be able to buy silencers on the internet too. Here's the question. How many people would have been killed in Las Vegas if the assassin of all those innocents...the assailant of all those injured people...had had a silencer on his gun and had started at the back of the crowd working his way forward as the music blared and the fans cheered?
Think about it and insist that your congressman and senator do too.
Your friend,
