Just once, I'd like to see my nation man-up and do something about all the lunatic killers we allow to run loose, beyond blaming every law abiding American who owns a gun safe.
We didn't seem to have this problem when I was a kid and we kept the lunatics in asylums and the killers in jail. How about we try that again?

I don't know about the rest of the country but -this- state, Florida, appears to have low standards regarding bail. Aggravated assault? $500 bond and you're out free to terrorize your wife again. Grand theft? Just have your bail bondsman put up $100 of the $1000 bond and you can scope out the new golf cart at Nancy's house with the key in the ignition because she's forgetful. Robbed a gas station? Cool. Don't forget to put gas in the car there after you pay your $250 to get released from lockup.
The criminals around here tend to be repeat offenders. And our system continues to let them roam free, to add more crimes to their long list.
