Horrifying mass murder and the ugly politicizing of its aftermath.
“We must DO something!” An understandable sentiment, though usually short-lived and never well thought out. Sadly, public figures compete to show who can be the most upset.

Do they have “gun-o-phobia?” They sure do and they’re working to spread it to as many kids and adults as they can. Then they feel justified in proposing more laws & regulations that have proven to fail, especially in this latest example. These are emotional and tough issues but Karen has a unique perspective.
