The Horror, the Horror...

 - - He sat in court like a demented Bozo the Clown with his dyed reddish-orange hair; James Holmes, that is, the Colorado theater slayer of a dozen and wounder of dozens more.

Utterly horrifying and totally senseless as the incident was, sadly we've been here before...and we are likely to continue to revisit carnage like this until common-sense measures are enacted in the realm of gun control to curtail private ownership of assault rifles and large-capacity ammunition magazines, things which properly belong only in the possession of the military and law enforcement.

I also find it hard to comprehend why it is currently harder to buy Sudafed at a Walmart than it is to buy 6,000 rounds of ammunition on the internet...
