We cats don't go to the movies any more. Tickets cost too much, the concessions require a second mortgage on your house, and our fellow patrons yak and yak on their cell phones during crucial dialog or, worse yet, text or tweet the whole time they're there. And now — well, on top of all that, you can get shot.
How much more pleasant to watch a film in the comfort and safety — accent on "safety" — of one's home.
We cats are in a cranky mood. We are tired of turning on the news every few years to hear that some numbnut has opened fire on a bunch of our fellow Americans and taken out some really cool people.
All because the National Rifle Association and its fanatic supporters, who, quoting only the second half of the Second Amendment, make it impossible to pass and sustain any sane legislation on gun control.
It's a no-brainer. Idiots like Seung-Hui Cho, Jared Lee Loughner and George Zimmerman will always be among us. But why arm them? Why make it so easy for them to kill innocent people?
Get rid of the guns, and you get rid of the massacres. Period, end o' story.
