I hope it goes well, Greenie!

Just sitting here trying to contemplate the mountain of stuff I have to catch up on while trying to push ahead with doing an adult site or two plus mainstream.

I must say that my first reaction about the Vegas shooting was shock followed by anger. When nothing was done to American gun laws after the massacre of children at Sandy Hook, I knew that this would become a regular occurrence that would just get worse. Sorry to be so negative but what's going to change it? Nothing. It will have to progress to it's natural conclusion and I hate to contemplate what that will be.

Anyhow, despite all the bad news on the TV, I am feeling physically well so I better get to it.

I used to say the same things... after Columbine, after the theater shootings in Colorado and so many others. There are no laws possible that will protect anyone from a determined and/or deranged person. They said he had 23 guns in his room -- 23. What sane person has that many guns in a hotel room? His guns were bought legally too. I do question why anyone needs the type of guns he had, and why they are even sold in the US.

What scares me is the label of "Most" deadly, or "Most" anything. Someone will be fool enough to try to top it. Rational laws on what can be sold and how much ammunition might help keep future events from being so severe. And if you think laws work, look at the drunk driving situation. If laws regulating such behaviors worked, you would not have any more drunk drivers anywhere.

Yes. Not trying to sound like your President now, but Media does have a responsibility here.
One Norwegian paper pretty quick had a headline that said: "He filmed when the shooting started (beware: strong impression)".
The last bit there looks more like bait, than a warning, to me...

Someone will try to top this.
I have no idea how this madness can end.

Thanks guys Lawyer said it went well. I just have to provide some financial info from 2014 that shows The Bitch recv'd 1/2 of that year's payroll from the company (otherwise it looks like I made too much that year) 2015 & 16's payroll, on the other hand, well there's no disputing I made nothing close to their ceiling

Guns: I personally hate guns. I've never shot one & have only held one a couple of times & each time I did, I became very uncomfortable. That being said, I understand the right to own them & as the old saying goes: Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
