Laura, that was exactly the point I just made on FB to someone who was talking about "warning signs"
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

Our wings are not tired.
I don't understand what the authorities are supposed to do about someone who seems dangerous but hasn't broken any laws.
I know. And yet we have to find a way to solve this.
Totally jealous of the 22222 post! Two is my number.

I don't think there are any politically viable solutions.

If requiring a firearms license to own or purchase a firearm was politically viable, then I think there are things that could be done. Revoking or denying a license for domestic violence would be really helpful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The problem is that literally nothing is politically viable, apparently.
I wish you all could take advantage of the glorious distraction that is the conversation on my local NextDoor site, started with a simple question: "Is fluoride bad?"

That's what I found so frustrating about the bump-stocks. We can't even outlaw something that exists solely to get around existing laws? It's not I think outlawing bump-stocks is going to save a bunch of lives, it's just such a low bar and even that is too much.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh wow. My posts last night are almost incomprehensible. I must have been more out of it than I thought. I was having a terrible time with headaches and nosebleeds.
