A “modest” proposal for ending mass shootings in America
There is a growing body of evidence that mass shootings are a viral phenomenon… that they spread like any other infection, by attacking the most vulnerable members of our population. In the case of mass shootings, the most vulnerable tend to be angry, disaffected or isolated men. As with any epidemic, most of those inclined… Continue reading A “modest” proposal for ending mass shootings in America
When regular folks pay for law enforcement failure (gun control edition)
So in an utterly unshocking development, we are now learning that the FedEx shooter was already known to law enforcement… that was true in at least one other recent mass shooting, as well.

What’s the major narrative the Democrats are trying to push right now? It’s that the country is full of angry white supremecist terrorist cells plotting to… Continue reading We must be very careful…
Viral Shootings
Malcolm Gladwell wrote a fascinating piece on the viral nature of school shootings back in 2015. The essential argument is that there are, at all times, an unknown number of kids out there thinking about shooting up their schools and that a some of them only need a trigger to decide to do it. And… Continue reading Viral Shootings
The worst gun violence article of the year (so far)
Please take a moment to read this piece from The Economist, before I give it the Fisking it so richly deserves… https://www.economist.com/united-states/2021/01/16/america-is-experiencing-the-worst-recorded-increase-in-its-national-murder-rate Are you finished?
