It was a big week-end for killing. There have been mass 3 shootings (doesn't include day to day killing). At least two were motivated by White Supremacist ideology.
Oddly, the Lieutenant Governor of Texas, site of the El Paso killings, has finally called for registration and limits on ownership. Oh not of guns, of video games. No shit, he has said licensing and backgrounds checks are worthless for guns, but should be down with violent video games to stop all this.
Look, I know background checks and reasonable gun legislation won't stop all the killings, but it is idiotic to call for outlawing video guns to stop mass gun violence by White Supremacists.
(From On Tyranny) 2. Defend institutions. It is institutions that help us to preserve decency. They need our help as well. Do not speak of "our institutions" unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves. They fall one after the other unless each is defended from the beginning. So choose an institution you care about -- a court, a newspaper, a law, a labor union -- and take its side.
