When I learned the weapon used was a Bushmaster version I found myself thinking about the very poisonous snake found in Central America called the Bushmaster. It is one hell of a killer. It never slithers away. No. It takes a spot in the high grass and weeds, and curls up, waiting for the unsuspecting four legged or two legged to come walking by and then it actually springs up its entire length and fastens its jaws around the unsuspecting victim usually at the neck or at least the upper back or arm. It has not just a couple of fangs like a self- respecting rattle snake. It has fangs on the upper and the lower jaw and bunches more teeth all along the way. And it hangs on pumping poison until the critter falls down dead. I think it is a snake in cahoots with the vultures. Because you see a snake of this type can't swallow prey that large or even take a nice slice out of it. No...it kills because it is crazy mad all the time. I had friends in Nicaragua who were swimming in a pond minding their own business and the damned Bushmaster sprang off the bank and grabbed hold. Fortunately my friend was slick with water and was able to grab the critter and throw it as far as she could. She sure got out of there quick. I had other friends who told me they were glad their pigs ran around everywhere, even in the house because the pigs went after Bushmasters. That snake wouldn't come near with pigs around. They also told me there were some seasons when it felt like the earth was hatching Bushmasters faster than beans could sprout. All that to say, there's plenty of metaphors to carry you along. Our national leadership is nuts not to regulate firearms of all kinds as it seems there is no way that people will regulate themselves. Self-control is no longer one of the fruits of the spirit that anyone can count on. No. Out of control and only going more out of control day by day. White supremacy is a killer - psychologically and physically. Lots of people are pushing the poison. Tucker is at the top of the list and he's bred a bunch more. They are coming out of the ground ready to do their worst. But every day more than 100 people are dying by gun - suicide, homicide, unintentional. But the god of guns is happy making money hand over fist. Isn't capitalism great? If it makes money it must be good. That's what the Germans thought as they made deals with Putin for oil and gas.
We are truly in need of metaphorical pigs to go after the literal weapons of mass murder that are a plague on this household pretending to be America. The lamentations are voiced by the harolds like TC, Sheila Markim, HCR, you, et al. America the addict in denial moving toward an uncertain death or the bottom that preceeds a long and uncertain recovery. I am waxing in my own frustration as like any rational senior I don't see us changing in the few years I have left. Thanks to both of you for expressing your versions of a like disdain.
And the deal the NRA made with Putin so he could (and did) invade our country, his white American mercenaries armed to the teeth, his orange general literally giving marching orders. We have so much work to un-do including allowing research on gun violence like any other deadly public health affliction, and improving mental health services. And electing enough Democrats to establish effective gun laws.

Bushmasters in some Red States, what do you think, Linda? Up for importing?
