Guns Across America
Seems they may have finally caught the sniper, or snipers as the case may be. One little note of interest had the NHL and in particular, the Washington Capitals, pulling hats that had the word "Sniper" on them. To me, it seemed ironic that they'd stop selling sniper caps and yet the whole idea of any sort of gun control seems lost on most of Ameica or at least her politicians. I saw a gentlemen trot out the familiar "it's not guns who kill people it's people who kill people" slogan and to prove his point he asked anyone to set a gun on the table in front of them and see if it shot them. I guess living in Canada there's no real way to understand that kind've thinking from the gun culture of the U.S.
