Our family attempts to not talk politics. Some years are more memorable than others. This years memory will last a while. After about 10 min or so of "we have to embrace gun safety, all these shootings should not happen", I headed all of that off by tossing the tactical nuke grenade in the table and stated " all of you are intelligent, most college educated, yet you will not think a premise through. If any one of you actually believe if we restrict or ban most or all firearms, that shootings such as late will not happen, I have to conclude that you all are batshit stupid."
Yes, every family has one. I am "the one" in my family.
