Our thoughts go out to the families and friends of the students killed at Virginia Tech yesterday. It’s a terrible tragedy which, if anything, illustrates the need for every human being to find a way to look past the option of violence as a problem solver.

Now, onto John McCain’s crumbling campaign. Sure, we could go after the timing of his speech reaffirming his belief in the Second Amendment, but mostly, we’d rather just use this as an opportunity to demonstrate how totally out of touch modern politicians have become. Is there really a massive base of voters who heard about this tragedy and instantly worried that this might endanger their right to bare arms? If so, let us know. I’d love to hear a cogent argument to that affect. Until then, can I borrow your gun? I just need it for a minute. I promise I’ll give it back.
