“Is it local?” This is off-kilter enough to be funny, but close enough to some people’s reality that it’s sad.

Zach Nielsen:
This morning as we were sitting around the breakfast table it occurred to me that my kids know nothing about Martin Luther King Jr. So my wife and I talked about our country’s history of slavery and the fall out of segregation. We discussed black people having to sit in the back of the bus, eating in a different part of the restaurant, going to different schools, and...

Is it okay to sacrifice 31,224 people a year due to our “right” to carry guns?
