Earlier, in ‘a gun never killed anyone’ I posted my thoughts on the recent Tucson, Arizona shooting and passed comment on the populace’s right to bear arms. And the response to the mass-murder has been? Far from dampening enthusiasm for weapons, the incident led to a 60% jump in gun sales in Arizona on the following Monday, the next available shopping opportunity. On the same day, national gun sales also rose by over 5%. Go figure? Despite repeated tragedies, Americans don’t seem ready to end their love affair with the gun just yet – all 270 million of them, almost one for every man, woman and child in the country.

I’m Carl - my phone isn’t smart, I’ve never sent a tweet, I'll never pose for a selfie, and I’m not my son's friend on Facebook. In fact, I’m no-one’s friend on Facebook. I read, I digest and I regurgitate with my spin on the things that matter. To me.
