Kentucky fried breakfasts - DEADLY STUFF!

The American nation is yet again reeling over the deaths of people in a crazed shooting. As anyone with half a brain can hold a gun permit it is highly likely that these shootings will continue. Maybe the Tea Party types can reconcile this latest episode with the fact that it was trailer trash arguing the toss over how eggs are cooked for breakfast? Of course, any such suggestion would be outrageous. But it does seem absolutely barmy that guns can be so readily available with consequences like this.

The right to bear arms is the most misunderstood right that Americans have. They seem to think it is a right to take the law into their own hands as and when it suits them. If your eggs aren't hot for your breakfast, well, heck, shoot the cook. In this case the cook was a wife and mother too. The innocent suffering for the guilty? Who knows, but if this character didn't have guns then this outrage would not have happened like it did.

County Sheriff Ray Clemons, investigating the murders, said he had known Stanley Neace, the perpetrator, for some years and he did not have a bad record. "He was a little hot sometimes, but we never had any major problems. Nothing like this." Which just about says it all. Guns and petty squabbles don't mix. If anyone is to have a gun it is only the sheriff. I don't hold my breath that much will change but at least the sheriff has had a wake-up call.

Six souls are moving on but is American public opinion?
